Do you ever see the 3G icon / symbol in Bangkok?

[Spouse]

I'm using a 3G data plan from True on my Android phone but always just see the H or H+ icon.

The connection is pretty slow.

However, the other day I saw the 3G icon briefly. Does this mean I've not been connecting at a 3G speed?

I'm in Bangkok and usually around Sukhumvit areas.

Do you ever see the 3G sign?

Thanks.

H or H+ indicates HSDPA - this is faster than 3g.

That is good to know. Thanks.

all the "indicators" you see displayed just indicate the "link" speed, but unfortunately that's not the only thing that matters. It's possible to have a fast link but slow speeds, if the servers are throttling your data speed, for example. It's a "necessary but insufficient" thing - if your link is "H+" then you can get HSPA speeds, but whether you are is a different matter. If you have data allocation to spend on this, you might want to run a speed test to get an indication/estimation of what kind of real speed you're getting. Ookla Speedtest (www.speedtest.net) is one that's commonly used and available for both iPhone and Android)
