TOT vs 3BB Fiber Optics Internet

[TomU]

I know this thread is old, but I need some information. I will move to Thailand around June – July 2015. The city I will be in is Hat-Yai. I was there the last half of December to the first half of January. I tested internet speed using a Dish Anywhere app on my iPhone and was able to watch most live US TV programs in HD via a 3BB 10 Mbps DSL modem and an 802.11N wireless router. Some programs (like Green Bay Packers playoff games) had a lot interruptions. My question is whether these interruptions will disappear if I upgrade to 20 Mbps fiber optics. Any thought?

If you want your internet to work well, give the installer 1000 Baht and promise him another 1000 after it's hooked up and working well. After multiple call outs to 3BB, and internet so slow I couldn't watch a Youtube video I finally did that, he was there most of the day and the internet has been great ever since. In the end, he was very happy and I was very happy and he even gave me his name and personal cell phone number and said to call him if I have any problems. It was well worth it to save the frustration.
