Yes but wasn't much and Internet good and especially since we are in a very small village in the middle of nowhere

If you don't want "True" the first TOT fibre 2U is 390+VAT At 20/10 Mbps it's easily fast enough

Ooh, now! Two options I like.

Does this rollout to sticks(ish) areas, STWW?

You will have to check with TOT but I'm 9 km from the nearest town 50 km from Udon in a village where our new house number was 114 so probably less than 400 inhabitants so a bit more than sticks than sticks(ish)

FWIW I have streaming music virtually all day and video calls are perfect in the morning but get a bit blocky in the evening due to the kids playing online games.

So it will depend on your destination and if you try to run it through a VPN whatever service you get will make no difference, the VPN, unless commercial, will be slow.

We are in the sticks and had to find 5 other people who also wanted Internet, took us a day going round the neighbours. We had Internet installed 2 weeks later after they ran cable about 10 km

I had a major hassle with True. We live out in the boonies and had few options so we Used True. I seemed to work fairly well so we went post paid. After about a year and a half it started going down fairly often. Finally it quit completely. Many calls to True accomplished nothing. They insisted it was my equipment. I then went to the True dealer and was told that True was working fine. I tried to tell the moron that I was aware that it was working in their office but 6 kilometers away it didn't work at my home. I told him to cancel the post paid account. I admit that I got quite excited when the moron said it couldn't be canceled in that office even though that's where the wife signed up. My wife grabbed me but the arm, pulled me outside and told me that she would take care of it. Since an AIS SIM card worked fine, there was no problem with my equipment. She had to drive fifty kilometers to a big shop and had to pay an extra month to cancel the account. I promptly cut three True SIM cards in half and threw them away. AIS may not be that great either but at least I always had a connection. I now have TOT fiber and am VERY happy with it. Never again will I ever use True.

If you read through the hundreds of pages of comments about internet in Thailand.....Udon and elsewhere......I'm pretty sure you'll find that what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another. I swear by TOT fiber..........even able to use a TV located more than 60meters from my TOT router.....netflix/youtube......never an interruption. TOT works for me.....but others have had problems....with TOT or 3BB or True or CAT.
My nearest expat neighbor runs TOT off the same main line that I do.....but his speeds are considerably slower. I suspect he's got computer problems that he's not aware of.......but thinks it's a TOT problem

My 3BB out in the rice paddies:-
631.30 Baht per month - No data limit.
Installation including Wifi Modem and about 100 meters of cable to the fibre optic interface - On special at the time = 300 Baht

See attachment for speed (which is extremely reliable). About 40 Mbps download and 11 Mbps upload.
