Dtac 3G - Just Connected At 3G Speeds In Chiang Mai

[davevi]

Today I switched on my DTAC device and made a 3G connection (H+).

I recently switched to AIS so I could get 3G in Chiang Mai.

However, I kept my DTAC SIM and phone also. Today I discovered that I can make a 3G speed connection using my DTAC SIM!

Can anyone else connect at 3G speeds using DTAC in Chiang Mai right now? Is it officially on here?

P.S. I am out near the mountains and the connection was full bars.

Been using it off and on between EDGE/GSM and 3G for the past two weeks on a D-Link aircard for internet.

Seems fine. I use it to watch Youtube, but theres a 1g data limit on my unlimited monthly plan for 399 baht, then it reverts to EDGE/GSM.

1g goes by quick, so only use it when necessary.

it does not revert to edge. it goes down to a Max speed of 387kbs (which is about double or even triple edge speeds )

No it doesn't it just stops working completely. Then i have to revert to EDGE.

really! I would check that out with Dtac customer service because it's not supposed to do that.

I've had it since Dec 31...DTAC 3G with a DTAC aircard operating on 850 MHz.

As mentioned before on other threads, yeah way faster than AIS 3G.

See this recent thread:

for further clarification on the subject.

The 399 baht/1 month/1 GB unlimited DTAC/Happy plan is supposed to have the "maximum speed limited to 384 Kbps" once the 1 GB threshold is passed. There no mention of a guarantee of 384 Kbps. In theory this 384 Kbps would be delivered on the 3G transport and not the 2G/GSM Data/EDGE platform).

So now there is DTAC/Happy, AIS-One-2-Call, TrueMove H/Cat My and even TOT/MVNOs
