Regarding bandwidth, I have a CDMA mifi router with a local telecom that works anywhere in Thailand except Bangkok (3G deployment in Thailand is a long and sordid tale). I get about half a megabit up and down anywhere that has a cell tower, which is just enough for voice skype and doing server administration on my linode slice over ssh. It even works in Laos as long as you are close to the Mekong. :)
- drinian 16y agoYeah, when I was in Thailand last year 3G deployment hadn't really started as the government hadn't issued licenses yet. Glad to hear that's changed. Have they instituted bandwidth caps? That was the nice thing about the 2G connections; I could run a solid 50 kilobytes per second whenever I wanted off of a DTAC Happy SIM, buy a week of service at a time, and not worry about running out.
- pault 16y agoI pay 800 baht a month for unlimited bandwidth with CAT. The government still hasn't gotten the licensing issues sorted out, which is why CDMA is still the only game in town. Meanwhile the rest of the world is rolling out 4G. Amazing Thailand...
