"signing Up" For A Data Plan

Recommended Posts

The responses to my post about Phone Network Upgrades S Pattaya were enlightening, but it may have petered out and I have one more issue important to me.

 

Please note that I want to upgrade my internet SIM to 3g / 3.5g , not my phone. The process may be the same thing, but I don't know as I don't have a smart phone.

 

Responses mentioned "signing up" for a data plan, filling out forms and being "billed." Does this mean that to get an upgrade I have to show a passport or some ID and register the account with my real name? I was never happy with my real name and much prefer something more elegant like John Smith, J. Doe or M. Mouse. Is that possible?

 

Thank you very much.

For DTAC Happy SIM's you can upgrade your speeds to 3G using following link, just send the phone code.

By the way, all recent phones are running 3G (except the 10USD ones). Smart phones are just offering more smart stuff to do with 3G (like watching porn videos online).

So..I'm giving True a try, I bought a TrueMove H 3G+ SIM. I bought a minimal amount of download to test it. It runs pretty well. Can watch youtube music with a little interruption for buffering. Did Speedtest and it seems slow, but I'm spoiled considering what I get at home with Comcast. In this part of Pattaya with True I'm getting 133ms Ping / 1.65 Mbps download / .35 Mbps upload. The connection says "HSDPA" and under that in another area "52000" - what does that 52000 mean, if anything?

 

Thanks for the help.
