ravip Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 We intend to change to AIS Fibre. According to their website ONLY the speeds are mentioned >>> http://www.ais.co.th/fibre/en/package_homebroadband.html Does that mean the capacity is unlimited? Is there a fair user policy where the speed is throttled after a certain usage? Where can you find these details? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shady86 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Speed depends on peak usage and bandwidth availability. So far I'm quite happy with my 75/10 package. I can get max speed for local servers most of the time and TV box streaming works well. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I'm fairly sure that they have a published FUP, but I can't find it on-line with a quick search, nor in the materials on hand as a result of several installations. You may have to ask for it from AIS. It would obviously be subject to change. I haven't seen any indications of FUP controls but imagine these might kick in extreme conditions?

KhunBENQ Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Never heard or read about FUP on "fixed line" connections. (different for mobile of course) I am on ToT fiber and use 200 GB/month or more per month. (mainly from streaming TV in HD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaiMaai Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 This is quoted on AIS's information page although a little difficult to find. It appears that there is a fair use policy set according to NBTC policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I'm pretty sure that the NBTC Fair Use Policy is probably more along the lines of "net-neutrality"? But I still think AIS does have to have a published FUP even though it might be very vague, and not reference exact figures? And since it subject to change, I'm not sure what the OP is looking for in terms of guaranteed service levels? For that sort of thing you'd have to move into a more business-oriented package.

Jackie66 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 In short yes it is good :) I am happy with it. Been using it since it came out in my old condo and moved to a new place and been using it here for 6 months and no issues. Don't know how much BW i am using monthly but with 2 kids streaming videos all the time and me sometimes downloading 5+GB files i am sure it ads up.

ardsong Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) You're lucky guys, have no glassfibre here within the wide horizon. Have to continue with ADSL probably for a long time. Edited May 25, 2017 by ardsong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToT has different packages. I have 50/20 Mbit/s for about 800 Baht. And it does NOT charge for data volume (real flat). I thought this was clear already. 200 GB in a few days?? A good quality TV stream is about 1 GB per hour. What I refer to as "good quality" is a 720p. I am not aware about UHD which is unrealistic in Thailand anyway. "200 GB or more": well that's a guess/estimate. I don't have a counter/log running and of course it can vary heavily. For comparison; FUP tariffs in Germany start at 75 GB and go up to 300 GB (last time I checked). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli42 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 AIS fiber optic is better and more reliable than the connection we had from True. That's not saying much, True was a joke. AIS fiber optic is not going to give you the speed or reliability/consistency of a 50mb connection in the US or Canada. It worked very well for the first 3 months after it was set up. Not so good now but acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Been on AIS Fibre now for 2 months, cheapest package 599 baht , I'm very happy with it, its very stable compared with 3BB, in my area Pattaya Naklua. .

ravip Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Thank you very much for all the information provided. I posed the question as I was wondering which package to choose. As I am not really a very heavy user, I do stream a couple of movies on and off. Now, I could start low and go up if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muratremix Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 just to clarify tot does not charge anything over 200gb fup. isp could and would throttle you to the hell, if necessary, especially during prime time. but there is no overcharge in fixed line internet.

sniffdog Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 4k unrealistic in Thailand? Netflix UHD is perfect on 3bb 200/50.

DividendGuy Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Hands down AIS Fibre is the best option.Over the years I have used some of the other big companies( sorry, but I don't want to mention names) and their services were crap and I had other problems . In my opinion, AIS is the only way to go and I have had no problems with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randell Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Yes ravip that would be the way to go . I personally changed from TOT but not fiber an ADSL but was never delivered what was paid for. AIS Fiber came through my small village and many including myself switched. Very happy with service and consistency of signal. I have the lowest pakage at 20 /10. But it is always there. I am doing the same thing as other have suggested go small and find out your needs and upgrade when necessary. all the best Randell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
