Mobile data plans in Vietnam are equally cheap if not cheaper...

we as customers will know sooner or later...

but can our awareness improve msian telcos plans ?

unlikely...

Our telco Mobile postpaid plans are competitive priced, and with the fierce competition, downtrend in price is expected to continue. Only in home fibre prices and plans that we still have a lot of catching up to do.

There are public figures always try to mislead the people that we’re the best when we’re not. When people are better informed and educated, their voice become louder and indirect pressure can make a difference, perhaps not immediate, but eventually changes will come.

Super WiFi Account with upto 650Mbps/100Mbps.This can only be made possible and this cheap when fixed FTTH is cheaply and widely available in your country to offload mobile traffic.Something which Malaysia is behind other countries by many years.

Also it seems Thais are culturally more honest and responsible unlike Malaysians who love abusing lines with terrabytes of usage every month or is it really so?

I also suspect that all these cases and examples of people claiming they are using hundreds of GBs of data in just 1-2 days or total average of over 1TB downloads per month might be done by own insider telco staffs to accuse Malaysians in general that we love hogging their infrastructure and justify FUP quotas to protect their revenues.All these when we know that most Malaysians would need to spend more than 8 hours from morning till evenings toiling at work?

You see in general Thais have higher number of citizens living below middle class income group and higher number people under poverty. Given that fixed lines require long contracts, many would opt for mobile plans without contracts or even share unlimited public wifi accounts on the cheap for 99baht with their own rogue APs. So aren't their mobile data traffic has way higher utilization than Malaysia considering they have much bigger population?How come they have so many ISPs and spent so much on pulling fibre everywhere yet many of their telcos are still operational today?

We only have TM in Malaysia which monopolizes a big chunk of Malaysia's fixed line marketshare.
Thailand has more than 5 fixed line players which offer nationwide fixed fibre services in most major cities and towns. They have TOT, CAT Telecom, True Online Cable, 3BB, AIS, CS Loxinfo, and KSC all with their own built fibre network for last mile.

Their after quota depletion speed is 10Mbps while Malaysian's standard is still 512kbps(0.5Mbps)?

Could it be that our Malaysian telcos are INTENTIONALLY not upgrading their equipment to create a false situation of congestion and all this blame of line abuses are none other than SELF-INFLICTING done by their own insider staffs stereotyping and blaming Malaysians of always hogging their lines?

10 mbps vs 521 kbps...i wanna laugh liao🤣🤣🤣

Our unlimited plans speed only max 6Mbps which is even slower than people's FUP slowdown speed by almost half.

This is bad lol....some plan are 3x lower than people's FUP 😂😂😂

But based on this Bangkok Post article, once FUP of 50GB is hit, speed will slowdown to 512kbps, not 10Mbps.

The said Thailand unlimited data plan by AIS can be found here - www.gomo.th

What you really get is 50GB of mobile data at 10Mbps of maximum speed, after that you can continue to use the internet at 512kbps. Phone call is 100 minutes only under this plan.

Well, that makes Hotlink Prepaid Unlimited quite competitive actually.

I think Digi might not join the prepaid war. If they do join with the package of RM35 based on RM28 plan unlimited Youtube and Social Media + unlimited call, I think they might win. What sdo you say?

.
Another user-problem, posting wrong information about "superior" Thai celco with throttled speed of 10Mbps after 50GB usage. Again, not a celco-problem.
.

Oh please not this again. Please do not bring your agenda here. The user posted wrong information because the ad was in Thai Language. He’s been corrected. Correct information has been posted. Life goes on. People cannot leave bad feedbacks about U Mobile. Whatever issues people have with U Mobile are all the fault of the users. Yes. We all get that now. Come here and taint this thread you can go for a long holiday.

And the war continues...

HUP35 :

Based on the OC Workbench site, the earlier post is correct.
https://en.ocworkbench.com/singtel-launches...gomo-under-ais/



50GB with full MAX attainable speed with 4G thereafter UNLIMITED usage at 10Mbps.
MAX Speed is mentioned on the side of the 50GB.

This is a tourists plan to lure foreigners back to Thailand for holiday.

How is it competitive? Public WiFi hotspots with 1Gbps WAN connections are widely available in cities and major towns across Thailand.

If you're lucky and the WiFi signals cover where you live(apartments) and the office complex/building, you won't even need to subscribe FTTH fixed line at home. The free Super WiFi will offload all your mobile data entirely.

I've lived in Thailand 3-4 years back for a short period of time before. Back then they already have 30Mbps FTTH line widely to power up hotspots AP in 7 Eleven Outlets and common areas in apartment buildings. If you live in a service apartment, these public WiFi APs are installed near the lobby and common areas.

Some of the caretaker staffs will tell me that they just pay for the 99baht($9.90) unlimited pass every month for their entire monthly internet use. The extreme ones will even use the pass, buy a wireless router configure it to ISP client mode and use it as a fixed modem sharing the WiFi connection to other devices.

Similar to the Penang Free WiFi, Terragraph covered areas and WiFi Selangorku. Their WiFi is however powered by 500M/1000M FTTH connection which is WAYYY better than our hotspots.

Yes. It seems you are correct. In the FAQ page on the website, it says 10Mbps speed once FUP of 50GB is hit.

In this case, this really is a very good plan!


This is not a tourist plan though. It’s meant for Thais and can be ordered online. And it looks like a postpaid service, which means foreigners cannot sign up for this service unless ones have a residency status.


Competitive assuming the Bangkok Post article was correct that speed will slowdown to 512kbps after 50GB FUP is hit considering the 50GB FUP enforced by Hotlink is the most complained thing in Hotlink Prepaid Unlimited thread. You think way too much already.

Wtf we talk about thai sim card?

Actually i like digi offer more

Obviously maxis has shown its influencing power to really destruct the current market.

rm30++ range of unlimited plan at capped speed is not new. only maxis managed to change the game.

Me too, no speed cap data for unlimited social media and Youtube. Watch this video



Summary from video.

1. Lighting Sim Business Model - Allow customer to choose prepaid number ( 100k numbers range) cost RM2/sim (dealer price ?)
2. 30 days high speed internet pack most affordable in the market.
3. All high speed internet plan for 30 days starts from RM15 (3GB + unlimited social media)
3. Enjoy HD content without speed caps.
4. No more reload and subscribe when purchase a new sim pack
5. Low commitment and fast activation time.
6. RM28/30 days plan ( 6GB data+ Unlimited Youtube + Unlimited social media) or ( 4Gb data + Unlimited call)
7. Sim card that always stay active with single validity. (30 days)
8. Affordable internet boosters ( top up RM3 extra internet can last to 30 days)
9. Flat rate for call RM 0.10/min and SMS RM0.10/sms

I wonder if there is any hidden agenda as like Hotlink prepaid unlimited..
