Any 4G in NE?

Sure. Dtac is one.

At least they advertise.

I would not bother too much about "3G+" or "4G" in terms of speed.

Real world speeds are far from the advertised values in most cases (specially for overseas connections).

Fibre Optic is rolling out in many cities too.

I believe most city centers have it now. My phone (TrueMove) was reporting 4G in Khon Kaen, but a speedtest revealed that it in reality was not any better than 3G.

No surprise.

Those excessive numbers of 42 MBit/s and higher are of theoretical value.

You have to be alone on the world to reach these numbers.

The more mobile populated the areas are, the more difficult it becomes.

I just got TOT Fiber Optics installed 2 days ago and I'm Kap Choeng.

They barely have 4G in Bangkok. Thailand missed the opportunity to upgrade to 4G a few years back. All of the political infighting and inability to issue the licenses early enough, set them forever behind the curve. Laos has better 4G than Thailand, from what I hear. The 4G here is spotty and slower than in most other countries.

Saw some Fiber glass windows at TOT in Sisaket just recently. Coincidence?

Recently, I upgraded to 3G in Fang - 150km from CNX.

My understanding is that 4G is some time away.

Difference between 3G & ??? - I have no idea.

I do not have an interest in having the latest & greatest so much so that I bought a True mobile (mandatory) - B699!

My reasoning for the upgrade - True advised that the old technology has being phased out.

Apparently, other parts of NE have 4G already.

Thanks for the replies all, I get it... 4G is here just probably very patchy it sounds like... in truemove store they said there is no 4G up here in NE Thailand yet a friend of mine says he gets 4G in some areas and one girl in the shop said yes against everyone else...

The weird thing is... in Bangkok I get shockingly bad 3G reception on all my phones and networks... yet out here in the sticks (Sarakham - Village) I get full 3G plus its very stable... obviously buildings etc affect this.

Out of interest what speeds do you get? I am getting 5mb in a village 20km our of Sarakham which isn't bad, quite stable too.

Cheers all

Was getting 3-4 in the center of Khon Kaen, compared to 15-20 at my home in Lad Prao, and 30-40 downtown at Silom.

I see, I have positioned my phone in a certain spot, when its sat there I can get 15mb speeds now, just means I cant move my phone lol

Check the following link, it appears there is no 4G at this point in time:

Why the demand for 4G? What am I missing?

I have 3G - all is fine.

So true (not TRUE ).

Its a hype always believing to have the fastest.

I can only repeat what I have written above.

Try to find the real numbers.

Don't we always want the newest and best things?

Were you looking for a boat?

Very Interesting . Was there an installation fee ? What are the download and upload speeds ? Do they guarantee a minimum speed ? Finally what is the monthly payment ? How is the service and have you noticed an improvement over your previous connection ?

Thanks in advance

I think most of the service is 2G or 1.5G

I believe you mean 2.5G. EDGE is 2.5G
