I noticed a topic about broadband speeds in Pattaya in another thread and wondered if anyone had any info about East Pattaya, I'm planning to move there in the next few months and trying to find the best & most reliable provider.

FYI - if you use wifi rather than plugging into the router (which I do) you get this result; 

 

 

 

Slow internet in Thailand? PLug it in to the box.

LOL There should only be about a 30% improvement. Better move that router away from your leaky microwave oven.

Shouldn't see that much of a speed difference between the router and WiFi. Wonder if someone else is tapping into your WiFi and sucking up bandwidth?

Is that using a fiber optic or asdl connection?

Not trying to be a dick here but if you are a few months out from living here, is internet speed really your biggest concern?

 

That being said, I use 3BB and am happy with it;

Not my biggest concern no, but I will be there over Chinese New Year, will finish the paperwork and pick up the keys then and will be back and forth a few times before moving permently in a few months time so wanted to find the best one so I can sort it then.

Dedicated fibre line on Cicso Router. 

 

There is no one else on it, and it is not next to a microwave etc. I had the True people out several times about it, but then realised that is makes no difference. Highest I got it off of cable was 25mb 

 

Quite happy to turn wifi off though and use a cable;  my balls start to burn if they get any where near a device soaking up wifi lol

The TRUE CISCO router has a really bad WIFI.

 

When I was using the 3BB WIFI router, my speed was 12-13mbps (>30mbps when I was plugging directly to the ethernet cable).

 

If you want to have the ethernet speed on WIFI, you'll have to purchase a good WIFI router as this one (1999 bahts):

Then you'll have to configure the ASUS WIFI routeur as an "Access Point".

 

Another advantage of this routeur is that it has a large range: I can go in my garden, more than 50 meters from my routeur, and I still have > 30mpbs speed on WIFI. And when you are living in the darkside, you have a garden so it's really usefull !
