True 3G In Pattaya

Featured Replies

Terrible the last week.

Extremely slow (actually slower then AIS Edge), time outs, disconnects, the lot.

Nothing wrong with signal, this is very good, and at 4 am speeds can go over 3 mbps.

Early evening, mostly under 50 kbps (yes, that's dial-up), sometimes momentarily it goes at maybe 80 kbps, and the odd 220 kbps spike (less then 2 seconds).

See screenshot.

Did they offer any reasons for the degradation in performance?

Are you able to try 3G in other locations? (via a smartphone or notebook PC)

How long have you had True 3G? What is your hardware set-up? What applications do you use? Which True package do you have? Pre-paid? Post-paid? Did this service ever work satisfactorily for you? If so, when did it start to degrade? Are you downloading off-shore content? Maybe via bittorrent?

I was thinking maybe you've exceeded your monthly download quota, but the reference to 3 Mbps would seem to negate that cause.

Nope, haven't even been able to get support on the line. I work during the day, and they don't seem to work evenings!

Nope

How long have you had True 3G?

2 + months

What is your hardware set-up? What applications do you use?

Regular PC, only surfing the net, nothing in the background.

Which True package do you have? Pre-paid? Post-paid? Did this service ever work satisfactorily for you?

Pre-paid, 3GB volume based package. Worked OK first weeks. Peak times 0.5 mbps or more, off peak 2+ mbps.

If so, when did it start to degrade? Are you downloading off-shore content? Maybe via bittorrent?

No bittorent at all, degraded over the last 2 weeks. Speeds during peak times are way down, to becomeing useless, and peaktimes seem to have extended. Before after 10 PM it started to pick up in speed, now it's 3 AM. And 6 AM starts to slow down already.

BTW, international speedtests always under 80 kbps, TrueMove speedtest, 2 Mbps or more, even peaktimes.

I was thinking maybe you've exceeded your monthly download quota, but the reference to 3 Mbps would seem to negate that cause.

Nope, my package just stops after 3 GB, have to switch to edge then if the month is not finished.

That sucks...I guess you can't get a broadband connection for you PC so that's why you use a 3G dongle?

I get great speeds from B-TV cable-net service and use EDGE/Wifi on the phone when out of the house...but still miss the 3G phone network I enjoyed on my last visa-run to Phnom Penh, CAMBODIA :rolleyes:
