Talk:Internet in Thailand

Tabulating Data
We need to start tabulating the data, especially those on the ISPs. (Paveet (talk) 19:05, 2 June 2009 (UTC))

Uninet
Could start work on a new UniNet section talking about the government funded national internet network for universities. It is quite extensive and fast, and a new generation was launched very recently. (Paveet (talk) 19:49, 2 June 2009 (UTC))

Maxnet/True price/speed war
Could someone also start talking about the speed war between Maxnet and True? Now we're reaching 10Mbps and 16Mbps of standard speed already. Panonl07 (talk) 02:32, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Started. It's not much at the moment and could do with some rewording, citations and expansion. Paveet (talk) 16:52, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. Should we start mentioning the availability of the MVNOs utilizing TOT 3G? Like iMobile3Gx and 365... Panonl07 (talk) 08:56, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

History
I somehow doubt that it was TOT that started the unlimited broadband game in 2002 as the article currently states. If memory serves right, it was True. I will try to find sources/evidence to back this claim.Paveet (talk) 16:52, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Also, it is worth mentioning the beginning of unlimited 56kbps days, when TelecomAsia (now True) came up with ClickTA which disconnects every 2 hours (so they could get 3 Baht / call fees every 2 hours).. Paveet (talk) 16:52, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Out of date
Suspect much of this is out of date, e.g.:

1. "Broadband Internet is readily available in major cities and towns, including Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, and Phuket, but is still to be sought after in smaller villages and in the countryside."

I had ADSL in a small town in the middle of nowhere back in 2005.

2. "As the statistics have shown, the majority of Internet users in Thailand still rely on dial-up access."

I suspect the majority of them rely on 3G. Also suspect ADSL is more common than dial-up nowadays. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.4.249.120 (talk) 17:56, 10 May 2015 (UTC)



I have to agree. This has only gotten worse now in 2018. I don't know anyone who still uses dial up internet. In fact, hardly anyone has landline telephones anymore. Those that still exist are primarily used by long-established larger businesses whose customers rely on the old phone numbers for contact, and maybe for internal use as cheaper than mobile phones. Most of the countryside has been on DSL. Even in the villages where DSL is not available use satellite dishes provided by True. But that is going out as True and others reach the villages with wired broadband service. Fiber by AIS and True are starting to make progress as well. This applies to PC usage. Thais who rely on phones or tablets for internet, and don't have a computer or router in the home, will rely on 3G and increasingly 4G.Jkolak (talk) 12:48, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
