lassebasse Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Sure. Dtac is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bino Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khwaibah Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Fibre Optic is rolling out in many cities too. I just got TOT Fiber Optics installed 2 days ago and I'm Kap Choeng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fang37 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanhull Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 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. 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. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandalf12 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Check the following link, it appears there is no 4G at this point in time: http://maps.mobileworldlive.com/network.php?cid=123&cname=Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fang37 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Why the demand for 4G? What am I missing? I have 3G - all is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superal Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Fibre Optic is rolling out in many cities too. I just got TOT Fiber Optics installed 2 days ago and I'm Kap Choeng. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retarius Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I think most of the service is 2G or 1.5G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaanUSA Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I think most of the service is 2G or 1.5G I believe you mean 2.5G. EDGE is 2.5G https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Data_Rates_for_GSM_Evolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
