I just realised that while I was actually getting unlimited data for 600B on my AIS package last year, what I bought at the airport for 850B is in fact not unlimited, but rather limited GB after which you are cruising along at 400kb/s

Are there any really unlimited packages left in Thailand on prepaid? Dtac? True? Or is the 25Gb 6Mb/s package as good as it gets these days?

EDIT:

For those interested in coverage, here is a great tool. [[members only])

Seems like DTAC, True Move and AIS cover most of the country, but AIS has significantly better coverage of "4G+"

There's a new service just like Line Mobile
***************
they're using the AIS network.

Just one package though 200 THB for 110GB internet at 4Mbps and unlimited afterwards at 384kbps. 200min 200sms free. Also free AIS Super Wifi too.

I picked up a 110GB/mo max speed from AIS last month for 250b. It was one of their hot deals in the shop @ Maya. Worth checking if they still have it.

Line Mobile

Truly unlimited full speed data as well as calls for 999 per month (50%off promotion for 12 months) with free SMS and use Line messenger with no data charges.

It's a virtual network and operates on DTAC's network so the service is as good as dtac.

in the city and anywhere I go around the country. Never had speed issues. I always get 4G+

In the city? It’s a bit patchy for me and quite sluggish at work, further out it’s hopeless. Shame as very cheap but AIS just gave me 400 mins and 28gb for 444.

I get 20+Mbps all the time. I don't use voicemail so it's good enough deal for me.

Line is so slow. I went with them from AIS and it’s night and day in comparison. Line also don’t support voicemail with no plans to include it. I’m heading to AIS as soon as the rain eases off.
