Crossy Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 The Swampy figure is kbps, a simple mistake. Where do Changi and Incheon figure in the list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod reborn Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Maybe because almost no one uses the AOT wifi. You have to show your passport and write all your personal details in a book kept at the airport information counter which can be read by the public in order to be given a password. In exchange for revealing all your personal ID details to AOT, all of its workers and the general public, you are given one whole hour of free internet access. I suspect AOT, however, was aware its internet speed was being tested and rigged the result, as I've never been able to get this speed even with a fibre-optic T1 line in Thailand.

727Sky Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Last time I was there and needed internet for flight plan changes. I ended up going up stairs to a shop and paying per minute for a connect.. Been a couple of years ago. Most places, LIKE REAL LIVE AIRPORTS, I have been to have wifi access without any B.S. pass word, or connection charges.. Maybe the VIP lounges have all the WIFI perks, I dunno? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfill Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Looks like no-one bothered to check out Incheon airport in South Korea. Always get a very good and fast signal there whereas at Swampy its usually better to buy a SIM card and use the 3G, which doesn't drop out all the time.

Totally agree with you it's a right pain.... Hong Kong airport, you just switch on, Agree to the terms and that's it .... How easy is that....

I don't want to get off topic---but I dont know why you would want to show your passport and write all your personal details ---or even pay at some airports-------I don't do a lot of hacking---(because I'm a computer thicky)-- but most people know the 4 letters when added onto the URL address at the airport which gives you free access. to wi-fi.......... I mean even Google tells you........................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Can someone explain to a thicky like me how the hell can they get fast wi-fi at the airport but no where else in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonmarleesco Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Obviously somewhat faster than im-fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wotsdermatter Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 In March, I tried to use internet in the business class lounge. Could not even get online - absolutely nothing - so could not get details of connection in Toronto. Lost my flight and all because BKK does not have the fastest internet at the airport, or any connection at all outside of the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watcharacters Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Rubbish for sure. Just be sure you give your passport number when you ask for the WiFi password. I declined the whole operation and used my own WiFi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephbloggs Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Travelers do not need fastest Wi- Fi but better service and more smiles To the tourist and not being hostile! What are you talking about? Who is hostile to you in the airport? I fly very frequently and the check in people are not hostile, the security people are fine, the immigration people are fine, then when I get through and maybe get something to eat nobody is hostile to me there either. I even used an exchange booth and they just changed my money with no hostility. Who is hostile? And where does this hostility come from? I'd love to hear your story.

''as I've never been able to get this speed even with a fibre-optic T1 line in Thailand.'' You get what you pay for...I pay for a 40Mb connection and I get it (Well actually 45+). In the countryside I also have fibre optic but only pay for a 10Mb connection and that is what I get. (I use CAT and True) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
