samtam Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I subscribe to True Online with a 30 Mbps. With local sites using testmy.net I get about 18-20 Mbps. With international sites (e.g. UK) for Android streaming it can vary enormously, depending on the time of day. As I generally watch TV at night, the last couple of nights it has only been 1.5-2 Mbps, which obviously negatively impacts on the stream. Do others suffer from the same low speeds and poor streaming with True? Any other better high speed providers for streaming that can be recommended?

shady86 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 20Mbps is quite slow for local sites. You should call true to check your lineSent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samtam Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Yes, I have spoken to True several times and await their response, which is not very forthcoming. I understand international downloads will not be as fast as Bangkok ones, but when Bangkok only produces 18-20 Mbps instead of the 30 Mbps I'm supposed to get, I think there's a problem.

KhunBENQ Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 What does True's own test configuration show for Thailand: http://speedtest.trueinternet.co.th/ This is the only value they will discuss about. Complaining about international speeds might end in nowhere land. I am on ToT fiber and the True test shows this: Download Speed: 47393 kbps (5924.1 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 24580 kbps (3072.5 KB/sec transfer rate) The ToT speed test shows about the same numbers. If you don't get about 30000 kbps on this test you can complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samtam Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Your link gives me: 'This text is replaced by the Flash movie." and this one is blank. I have just had a call from True and I tested using Ookla and download was 32 Mbps for Bangkok. 19 Mpbs for Dallas, TX. So there's an improvement to last night's tests, but I think maybe night time is worse because of more usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samtam Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 What are you supposed to get from 3BB? Do you have 1) fibre cable, 2) fibre optic cable, 3) ADSL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7000gods Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Its Fibre to the ground floor reception.Distribution is on 54MB/S wireless routers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samtam Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 I use fibre, so this could be a good replacement for True, as you seem to get good speeds, albeit variable. What do you pay per month for that package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7000gods Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 It is included in my condo rental.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coops Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Our AIS fibre on the 100/10 package, tests at 100+\- and 10 to 11 up, so as specified to a Bangkok server using Ookla... A google fibre test from my ipad gave a very decent speed to Atlanta, USA of 51.8 / 9.6. I'd be giving True a call about it... as we did before when we were on True... but happily ditched them for AIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something for another thread Both work for me. Depends on browser/settings. Guess you have Chrome and/or some "net nanny" SW? Simply killing Adobe Flash is not the final solution.
