DTAC full speed unlimited package 1999 baht

[BuffaloRescue]

Hi

Referring to http://www.dtac.co.th/en/postpaid/products/go-no-limit.html. their 1999 package. Says its full speed and unlimited.

 

Im considering this instead of paying in excess of 1000 a month for my optical line plus around 1000 a month for mobile package with true.

 

Im just wondering if anyone has tried this is it really unlimited? Torrents are allowed? Any catch?

 

I live in Chiang Mai

I am also interested in this DTAC package. I wonder, though, how much the actual speed is as compared to the advertised maximum speed of 10 Mbps and would be pleased to hear from somebody who uses this package.

[Maestro]

There is also the question what the b stands for in DTAC's Mbps. I am a bit confused about their various advertised maximum speeds.

 

Postpaid, unlimited, 10 Mbps max.

Postpaid, 3GB/month, 4G at 100Mbps max., 3G at 42 Mbps max.

Prepaid, 3.5GB/month, 100Mbps

 

Last time I was in Thailand I had a DTAC prepaid package for 3GB/month at maximum speed of 42Mbps. The highest speed I ever got was 4Mbit/s, but most of the time it was below 1.5Mbit/s. This made me wonder what DTAC's b in Mbps stood for.

Have to admit that I had the same issues with DTAC.  Never saw anything close to advertised speeds in Pattaya. TRUE similarly poor. AIS was the only one that offered good speeds, but even they were variable. Best actual download speed with AIS, around 22Mbps.  I would be lucky to get 2Mbps to 4Mbps from DTAC and TRUE. Fine for everyday mobile phone usage, but useless for the downloading of large files.

[JamJar]

'b' stands for bits. 'B' for bytes.

 

Download speeds with AIS would be between 1MB/s to 2MB/s.  DTAC and TRUE averaging around 250kB/s.

[Maestro]

For the lowest-cost data package I have with my Swiss carrier, Sunrise, the advertised maximum speed is "up to 100 Mbit/s". I went out onto the balcony just now for a speed test with an LTE connection (4G),  which shows average download of 57 Mbit/s, average upload 27 Mbit/s. I'm not complaining.

If the "b" is used consistently it clearly means bit.

42 Mbit/s is a technical limit for "3G HSPA+".

(highest rate possible with 3G)

 

Advertising these rates is typical marketing swindle.

Possible under theoretical/ideal conditions.

Some would say: sit under the antenna a 3 AM being the only user in your district.

Real world is completely different.

You share the cellular bandwidth with a whole of lot of other users. The weaker the signal the lower the max. rate and so on.

Other users: especially in city centers it becomes difficult to reach such high rates.

 

if they could provide 10 Mbit/s flat rate it would be a real good

offer.

IF!

Unless you are someone always on the move, I still suggest fiber at home and mobile 4g package. 50mbps is around 600b nowdays which is much more stable than 4g speeds here.

Personally, to avoid ambiguity, I prefer to see bit and byte written out fully, eg Mbit and Mbyte. For example, B can mean bel, as in decibel (dB). In physics, b is used for barn, a unit of area.

 

The  International Electrotechnical Commission (EIB) issued the international standard IEC 60027-2, available for download on their webstore for CHF 300.00 (THB 10,500), and this stiff price may be the reason why the symbols they recommend, eg MeB for megabyte (see System of International Units, note in the right margin on page 29 of the PDF document), are not commonly used.

And to add to the confusion with symbols, there comes somebody with the following:

If b is taken to mean bit, how can 50 millibits per second (a unit of speed) be equal to around 600 bits (a unit of information)?

Some mobile carriers use 4G as an indicator of speed but in my opinion this is not helpful.

 

Quote

...the International Telecommunications Union-Radio communications sector (ITU-R) specified a set of requirements for 4G standards, named the International Mobile Telecommunications Advanced (IMT-Advanced) specification, setting peak speed requirements for 4G service at 100 megabits per second (Mbit/s) for high mobility communication (such as from trains and cars) and 1 gigabit per second (Gbit/s) for low mobility communication (such as pedestrians and stationary users)

To make it simple 50Mb/s is roughly about 5Megabytes per sec. That is size of a picture take with 10Megapixel camera. AIS Fibre provides up to 100Mb/s about 999b per month.

Thank you for the clarification (but taking b to mean bit, 999b is an extremely low data volume per month)

Are you hoping to get the posters here to stick to Internationally agreed descriptors?

 

I rather imagine that people, especially those posting via Smartphones, will continue to take the path of least resistance.

Not at all. In fact, neither Mbit/s, which I personally prefer and which is generally used by continental European mobile service providers, eg Sunrise and Telekom (UK providers apparently prefer the oblique terms 2G, 3G, 4G, and double speed 4G), nor Mbps, to which I do not object and which appears to be used by US providers when they mention speed at all, not just 4G or 4G LTE, are internationally agreed units of measure for internet speed.

 

Internationally agreed descriptors can be found in the international standard IEC 60027-2 agreed upon by the International Electrotechnical Commission (EIB), which is not freely available but the unit MeB for Megabyte is mentioned in a marginal note in the International System of Units. I have never seen the EIB units used by any mobile service provider or anywhere else and personally I do not advocate their use on Thaivisa; Mbit/s and Mbps for megabit per second, and MB for megabyte and GB for gigabyte will do just fine.

 

In other words, I see Mbit/s and Mbps as synonyms, as long as it is understood that in this context b stands for bit, just like colour and color are synonyms. As regards the prefixes, M always means mega, k means kilo, m means milli, even in the non-metric parts of the world.

After VERY bad experiences using True, I bought a Dtac SIM card basically just to try it. I enabled the card for high speed Internet and found out that my area of Loei province had no high speed Internet. I now use AIS.  AIS also has its faults but at least I have coverage. Check your area for coverage before you decide on a provider.

hello,

 

All 1 year packages are here, but do we know what happens after 1 year ?

Can we just renew for 1 year ?

You can with AIS and Truemove H. Don't know about DTAC.

To get back on topic... I have purchased the Line mobile unlimited package (currently on offer at 749/999 bt) which apparently is the same as the DTAC package. It is fairly reliable but forget streaming movies. I live in a very rural area and perhaps speed will be better in cities - speed is usually 1.5 Mbps-7 Mbps dependent on time of day.

 

I have a true move H SIM on my mobile phone and use the DTAC/Line  SIM in a mobile wifi gadget at home. The speed on True is much faster and more reliable  than Line mobile.

 

Check coverage in your area and try each provider before you take the plunge would be my advice.

DTAC has offered Net No Limit for sometime at 199THB/week or 39THB/day which I sometimes use. I get about 11mbps all day download speeds, OK for IPTV streaming.

Of course it is all 'location permitting'. 

You can obtain an AIS 10 Mbps package for 535 baht per month. As to whether one can achieve the 10 Mbps in a particular location is another question.

 

In my current location, I can only achieve 2 to 4 Mbps with DTAC and around 15 Mbps with AIS. Though there is/was a problem with AIS in my area of late, so that went downhill too.

This in the middle of a busy city.

So buy a Truemove H package or try AIS. 

 

Truemove H has a 90 day 10 Mbps package for 1445.5 baht;  *900*8771#

Considerably less than you are paying now. 482 baht per month as opposed to 749.

 

AIS 10 Mbps 535 baht per month.
