DTAC Happy Tourist SIM

[lifestyleyou]

Hi all,

 

Looking at options for SIM cards with data bring the priority. Have a 4G phone so figured I'd look at 4G capable networks. Found the Happy Tourist SIMs at DTAC. Specifically the 599baht 15 day plan with 4GB of data.

 

What I was curious about was the availability of 4G in Pattaya on DTAC's network, it's reliability and speed, that kind of jazz.

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

HI,

 

I have the biggest plan for the Happy Tourist SIM from DTAC and iPhone 5 with latest FW.

 

In hotel room (around Soi 10/beach road) I get 3G connection most of the times.

Outside at pool I just checked 4G is working.

 

However, the speeds are not that good one would expect:

           down (MBit/s)      up (MBit/s)

3G:     ~0.8 .. 4.4            ~0.8 .. 1.2

4G        2.9 .. 6.4            ~0.5 .. 2.2

 

Just did around 5 times a speed test on both after noon for 3G and 4G in the afternoon..

 

It seems a lot of people sharing the available bandwidth.

 

Don't know if AIS would be better, I think AIS has similar offering.

Thanks for the reply, those speeds aren't great but they are not too bad either.
