lapd Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) What is 4G like in Pattaya? I know TrueMove has it running but I only had a 3g phone to test a few months ago. 3G which wasn't nearly as good as AIS 3G both in coverage and average speeds at different times of day. I am talking 2100Mhz 3g not 900Mhz 3G which is very slow. DTAC may also have some 4G signals in Pattaya by now. AIS hasn't even started still doing trials and waiting for the next bandwidth auction so they are way behind.

fredlk Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) I was in Pattaya / Jomtien yesterday and received (Dtac) 4g all the time I was there. Seemed to be excellent but then again I have no complaints about my 3G with Dtac. Edited January 27, 2015 by fredlk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bender92 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'm using an aircard on my laptop with True. 3G is great, I'm in the center of town. When I upgraded my aircard software to 4G, I only got 1 bar, so I went back to 3G, 4 bars most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidenai Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 In Cha Am and Hua Hin I reach Truemove 4G/ LTE speeds from 20 to 35 Mbps download and 20 to 25 Mbps upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Search of Space Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 AIS 3G in Pattaya is sparodic, sometimes nothing and sometimes excellent, eg video skype calls to the UK etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithcresswell Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I live in East Pattaya using True, 4G varies through the day. I've just done a speed test and got 16mb down and 19mb up which is much slower than normal. The best I've had here was last month when I got 64mb down 18mb up.

wump Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) I got True 3G at about 19mbit down in Pattaya. Shouldn't 4G be a lot faster? How come you guys are reporting only like 20-25mbit? Edited January 28, 2015 by wump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brasilouro Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I have had 4G for the last few months it's the same download but better up load speed so to be honest no better than 3G as I am not interested in uploading anything 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapd Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Those are some great speeds. Consistency would be my biggest concern. I found the 3g speeds could vary widely depending on location and time of day. I would be concerned the same thing might happen to 4G as more and more people get 4G phones.

How come you guys are reporting only like 20-25mbit? It's only as fast as the telco wants it to be. I think 4G gives the telco more bandwidth but whether they choose to pass that along in the form of more speed per connection or to increase their capacity to handle more connections is up to them.

I have Dtac 3G in an aircard in Nongplalai, very close to the highway, and the best I've ever measured was like 2,5 mb down. Most of the time it's half of that. True same same, and AIS I'm happy if I get 3G at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
