What they probably mean is that they have 2 packages, the cheap "home" package and the more expensive "business" package.

On the home package international speed is heavily shared, meaning many users are sharing the same international pipe. Resulting in slow downs during peak hours.

It will still be much better then your dongle!

On the business package less people share the international pipe so speeds will be closer to advertised throughout the whole day.

Also, on the cheap package, things like torrents and other sorts of download/file sharing programs are likely to be blocked or restricted in some way, no such problems on the more expensive package...

I am on a cheaper home package with 4m download, it does slow down late afternoon/early evening but not too bad however upload speeds are pathetic, best I see is about 0.3 during quiet times and as slow 0.02 during afternoon/evening peak hours.

My Neighbour had the Tmax (now 3BB) Indy 4Mb service (799 Baht + tax) and I have upgraded to the Premier 2Mb service - 1160 Baht or so.

We did a test on speedtext.net to London, and I was getting twice the speeds, up and down, that he was. This was done mid afternoon.

I was told, so needs confirmation, that Indy share the line with 30-50 users, whereas Premier shares with only 10. These are both Home Packages. (The Commercial packages for offices and Internet cafes are a much higher cost. )

You get what you pay for here, just like anywhere in the world.

I moved from CAT to 3bb a few weeks ago. I am extremely happy with it, by comparison. I don't have the patience for very slow download speeds or frequent outages. both of which I got from CAT ... for a monthly fee of nearly 2000 baht!

I have the "Premier International" service from 3bb, which, as quoted above, is about 1160 baht. I'm getting consistent (by Thai standards) download speed of well over 2 mb. I do get occasional "breaks", when it goes out for a minute or less. But I've had only one extensive outage. That was when the Chonburi server went out, and (I believe) all services here were out from about 4 PM to about 9 PM.

Bottom line is that I strongly recommend the 3bb Premier International service for folks like me, who use the internet fairly often for international communication, including live streaming of sports and other TV shows. If 1160 baht isn't beyond your budget, go for it!
