True/TOT mifi wongle with unlimited internet? not capped to 5gb

[ryanhull]

Hi All,

I have moved into a new place and we do not have any phone lines installed,

I am looking to buy a mifi dongle and wondering if they sell them that are unlimited? I do not want capped as I will be streaming the tv so 5gb would be gone quickly,

Does anyone know of these and the prices they are?

Cheers

Ryan

p.s I have called truemove and spoke to them, I do not see the point in the dongles/mifi cards as I may aswell use my android wifi tethering option?

My guess is what your asking is not available but I am hoping I am wrong. In the past we had CAT or Hutch CDMA unlimited broadband but since 3G has arrived we are all capped now. Progress? Unless there's a wifi signal near you'll have to get a fixed line for uncapped unlimited.

I heard that it is unlimited however you drop to a lower speed after 5gb, not sure how true this is thou!

[Digitalbanana]

Correct, there's unlimited but not uncapped and your 3G/4G speeds drop back to 384kbps or less depending on plan. If it dropped back to 2mbps I might be happier, but as is watching streaming TV becomes impossible after your cap throttles you back.

Can you describe 'your place' a little bit. We know "we do not have any phone lines installed", but CAN you get ADSL or Cable BroadBand installed, or is there a reason?

Also, are their any major WiFi Hotspot Access Point nearby, like within 500-750m, from AIS, DTAC, TRUE, CAT, TOT or 3BB ?

I once lived in a 6-month rental and didn't want to sign a 1-year, so I put a USB WiFi stick (with antenna) on a loooonngg USB extension cable so it could be placed outside a window where I could receive the ฿99/mo 3BB 10Mbps Unlimited Internet WiFi Hotspot signal.

While this only works for ONE DEVICE per account, I did find a way to share it via my Laptop when necessary. Otherwise I just paid for several accounts and could stay somewhat connected while a traveled (WiFi Hotspots, unfortunately, are not almost everywhere like a mobile 3G/4G data connection).
