Is It Really Impossible To Get Fast Internet In Bkk On Mobile Device?

[gehfab]

Hi,

I'm looking for a fast internet connection for my MacBook, USB "Surf Stick" with a 3G-Speed-SIM. I'm currently using a Blackberry Bold with unlimited data (AIS), EDGE speed...Really slow, especially when it comes to downloading or uploading on my MacBook (tethered)

Any advice?

Thanks !

Thanks for your reply !

I live in Soi Sukhumvit 81 (near BTS On Nut), Bangjark district, Phra Khanong, BKK...

say 4000Baht is a one time purchase, what are the monthly costs?

True has trial 3G network in downtown bangkok, you can see their coverage in their web pages. This is the closest you can get in Bangkok if you really want mobile connection that you use around the city.

It is still trial network as the government has not issued any licenses so this means very limited coverage and capacity but there is reports from the users saying it's working ok at the moment just providing you are in the coverage area.

Alright, due the mobile options are too expensive I use SmartZone 1024kbit now ! Thanks for your advice though !
