infernalman7 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Just letting you know that after surfing through different cellphone promotions, I accidentally found out that True Online now has a new internet promotion of up to 16Mbit/s download and 1Mbit/s upload for only 2400 Baht! 2400 Baht is what I paid for 4Mbit/s 2 years ago! Love it. At this rate, Internet in Thailand is officially the cheapest in SE Asia, just like its cellphone price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoMeOnEnUlL Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Even if you are willing to pay for local speed, it will only be a few people who will get this kind of service due to their crappy phone lines and infrastructure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crushdepth Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) And yet just as slow as ever... Don't get sucked into the 'our bandwidth is bigger than theirs' bullshit. It's marketing hype for the idiot marketing departments of the idiot ISPs. Complete, unmitigated CRAP and its about time the government started regulating this industry. PS: I am reselling 64MB down 8MB up packages for 50 baht a month*, anyone interested just let me know. * (speed not guaranteed, no cancellation possible without massive penalty, how can I make this font smaller dammit?).

Deke Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I noticed that my 8 MB service has been cranking along at about 10.5 MB for the last several days. No complaints from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Actually for the 8Mbps in Pattaya, True will pull a dedicated cable from their closest DSLAM to your house. So no crappy, taped together cables. They use ADSL2+, so 8Mbps carries over a fairly decent distance. Limit is 25Mbps on ADSL2+, so with a dedicated cable 16Mbps would be possible if the DSLAM is not too far away. Says nothing on international speeds though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davejonesbkk Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 How can you find out if there is a DSLAM near your home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deke Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 How can you find out if there is a DSLAM near your home? There's a utility on the True website that let's you check the maximum speed for your phone number. The "distance to RCU" is the distance to the DSLAM.
