May 24, 201214 yr The boyfriend got an early birthday present this year, a new IPad 3. He loves it. Since I want him to always have Internet, we carried it to MBK today to get a sim card and get it set up. The sim card cost 150 baht. We choose True as we were told their data and Internet speeds were great. You get free 70MB of data before you have to pay. We tested the speed and it was 10MB download speed which really did surprise me. Several other tests today were from 3MB to 10MB. It worked like a charm. All he needs is access to his email, facebook, games, etc so this was perfect. I don't expect the speeds to be the same when we test in Pattaya or his home, but I'll let you know. I am amazed at how much the speed of all Internet is improving in Thailand. When I first came here years ago, the speed was so slow I often had to change hotels. Not only has this changed, but their 3G phone networks seem vastly improved. The plan we will get costs 799 baht per month for unlimited Internet, Data, etc. We have not signed up yet as we are still getting the free 70MB. If anyone knows of other plans that are faster, better, cheaper please let me know.
May 28, 201214 yr Unlimited...........what I am a bit puzzled about is the 3Gb limit. After a 3Gb download the speed drops to 364kbs, at least that's the case with eg AIS 3G If unlimited is really unlimited it's a bargain! Check before you buy.
