4G LTE available now in PP with Smart
I have cellcard on the phone and metfone on the ipad. Metfone is always slower whether in the city or on the outskirts, often really slow.
What's the difference between Cellcard's INET3 $5 plan and the XG $5 plan?

Strange, I've had the opposite results. Near BKK1. Cellcard speedtest.net terrible like 0,4 Mbps and Metfone is so-so at around 1-2 Mbps.ken svay wrote:I have cellcard on the phone and metfone on the ipad. Metfone is always slower whether in the city or on the outskirts, often really slow.

The XG plan gives you several free text and phone calls, also. The rates seem the same otherwise, so I switched. I don't make many calls, and mosts of my texts are in-network, so I'm not getting through a month on $6-$7. With INET3, I was spending around $10, so not a huge difference. The only possible downside I see to XG is substantially fewer "bonus minute" offers, so if you make a lot of on-network calls, INET might be the better way to go.mookuy wrote:What's the difference between Cellcard's INET3 $5 plan and the XG $5 plan?

For mobile internet speed the blockage used to be the bandwidth the company had going out of the country, now the blockage is the towers which are overloaded. This means you will usually get much lower speeds in high population areas as a single tower has too many people connected to it trying to use the internet at the same time.TristranandIsolde wrote:Strange, I've had the opposite results.

Once 4G is rolled out the towers will be able to handle a far higher load. Don't expect internet speeds to go up much more than what you see now on a good day (e.g. 5-6Mbps) but expect the speed to be much more consistent regardless of your location. Once 4G is in place the limiting factor will likely be the international bandwidth again. At the end of the day you can stream HD on 7Mbps, anything above that is just for showing off.
It's cyclical just like the balance between computer hardware and software in the 90s/00s, you have periods where the hardware is ahead of the software followed by periods where the software becomes more demanding and hardware needs to be upgraded.
Anyone managed to buy a 4G sim on it's own?
Anyone confirm it's LTE band 3 1800Mhz?
FWIW http://www.phnompenhpost.com/business/s ... 4g-network
Their CEO is quoted "Hundt said that in order to use the network, new Smart subscribers must either already have a 4G-capable device or purchase one at a local branch"
My Current phone (Nexus 4) isn't compatible so don't really want to get a cheap moto G 4G and have Smart airport booth refuse to sell me a sim

I looked at the just released huwawai 7 inch phablet today which has 4G. I live the other side of 271 and I can see four towers towards the city but on the other side there are no towers visible at all as far as the eye can see.
