livinthailandos Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Nice to see I am not alone, woke up this morning and had 3G but also changed H and H+ ( hspa high speed packet access ) basically 3.5 G. I did 2 download tests to reconfirm this keep in mind this was at 6:50am I got a download speed of 5.5 mb. although dtac 3G, this should not surprise you, the lady at dtac told me since last month there were testing 3g on samui and installing the equipment so that hopefully should have 3G this month I'm going out today to eat at maenum so I"ll post results there to in terms of what I got as well. look forward to more postings on this, by the way i'm getting the same 3G, H and H+ here in bophut next to the ibis hotel Edited February 17, 2012 by livinthailandos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livinthailandos Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Area near bangpo Just came from near bangpo I was near the napasai hotel and the old closed gas station. I tried dtac internet there, no 3G only egde internet and never knew how bad it was, download speed test showed I was getting total download speed of only 96 kbps so slow I could even get my emails or even load my apps. basically just slightly faster than dial up internet. Hope people will put more posts on where has 3G and where has no 3G. look forward to more postings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe84330 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 i live in bang por and i don't think we'll have 3g anytime soon here. i'm in bang por now and it's back to edge. phone reception is so poor around here that many times my calls will bounce off of a tower in phangan instead of the dtac tower a couple km down the road.

livinthailandos Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Area before the mcdonalds and starbucks in chaweng While in chaweng today having my lunch, I turned on my mobile internet and there was no 3G only edge internet. I'll be placing more information on areas so that you guys know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livinthailandos Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 2 areas to add Makro Today was at six senses hotel in choengmon both of these places had no 3G I"ll keep yall up to date on more areas with no 3G yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt111 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 dtac at starbucks near bigc - no probs - H+/3g+... though true seems more responsive though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryfarang Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Dtact 3G at Tesco, Lamai. I'm sat in Black Canyon working on it at the moment. It's fast 6mbps down and 5mbps up. However I doubt this will last as more and more people start using the service. No doubt they will oversell it, like CAT and TOT have done with their fiber optic connections on the island...

joe84330 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 3g now at 4 seasons. appears that you can now get dtac 3g almost anywhere on the entire north coast, within reason. *scratches 3g off of complaints list, adds netflix.

matt111 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) No doubt they will oversell it, like CAT and TOT have done with their fiber optic connections on the island.. Hopefully not. Truemove 3g have a fair limit of 5gig a month on their unlimited package and hopefully dtac and others follow a similar practice, essentially killing off any bit-torrent users with more sense than money (correct way around), with these limits they won't need to deploy traffic restricting (meaning slower) hardware on their network.

robsamui Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 My neighbour who knows about these things was showing me his tethered Galaxy with his laptop this pm and the down was 8.5kbps and the up was 3k-something. Mae Nam Soi 1. With instant 3G and EDGE toggling it might very well work out at 50% of my 5bb TOT line coupled with my AIS BBerry package . . . things are looking up!
