Hi

Once again I`m having internet problems where I`m staying, had to resort to using an old(ish) dongle/air card, not really adequate.

I simply do not understand speeds etc., here is what I`m getting(apparently) with that dongle/aircard:

Sent
Volume 1.0 K bytes.
Max rate 5.3 K bytes.
Average rate 160 bps.

Received
Volume 241 bytes.
Max rate 1.9 K bytes
Average rate 24 bps.

That means nothing to me.

AIS claim with their new 3G service 42 Mbps.

Would that be significantly better?

How good is the new 3G mobile service?

If I buy a 3 G dongle would it work with all networks?True mobile is supposed to be fairly good but would like the ability to change provider if necessary.

I pay 500 baht a month for my current pathetic service, I`d happily pay more for a decent fast reliable connection, 1000-1500 baht wouldn`t be a problem.

I don`t think True will do a package where I am but need to find out about that, 3 BBB are very poor in my area.

What do I look for?

Thanks.
