eyes4thais Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Because I've been a naughty boy and grounded, i thought i would download some movies, the hard part here is thinking of any good films so help please any suggestions. Anyway Only film i could think of was 1917. Went on Pirate Bay found it and downloaded it through a torrent. It can vary with download time depending on No of seeders. After a bit of fannying around i went onto files to see if it had started. not only started but finished in about 5mins at top quality. Next day I asked hotel boss an Indian Guy, was his internet fibre, he said no its 5G. I cant even get 5G in my home town Newport Pagnell. Before my flight was cancelled I was stay at the Royal Suits LK Soi Baukow, Although I got it a good Price, I was paying for the breakfast that I did not want, so decided to move to the above. I'm paying 550b a night (I've now gone monthly so paying even less.) and i cant knock it, no lift but i'm on first floor. Good water pressure and piping hot, good staff and balcony overlooking road. nice foyer with pool table, And now i find out it got 5G. Unless someone is going to burst my bubble and tell me they do not have 5G in Pattaya. Is 5G better than Fibre and whats the difference?
forcebwithu Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Thailand doesn't have a 5G network yet. The 5G in the hotel is 5G WiFi which is shorthand for 5Ghz WiFi. It's a faster connection with greater range, but the speed will still be bound by whatever plan they have with their ISP. Edited April 17, 2020 by forcebwithu I was wrong about greater range. 2.4Ghz has longer range 2 1
dcfc2007 Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 I was hoping I'd be seeing a photo of @tommy dee with a bottle of lighter fluid being chased down Buakhao by the BiB.
eyes4thais Posted April 16, 2020 Author Posted April 16, 2020 OK not what i thought, but it still fast
KWA Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 You're not using the 5GHz mentioned by forcebwithu but 2.4GHz so quite reasonable. Off topic, but was your hotel formerly "LK on 19" and is now an OYO hotel? I'm nervous about anything OYO.

But this one is OK, I am more than happy here. the Royal I was paying 1250b a night and I Prefer this place. 1
thegrogmonster Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 What speed are the fibre internet modems running at these days? On our company WAN network we have a lot of 1G and 10G fibre links.

Lirchenfeld Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 There is a difference between G and G. 2.4G and 5G indicate the frequency (gigahertz) of which the wireless signal is transmitted. Other G can indicate 1000 Mbit per second, the bandwidth of the signal, either wireless or wired. Whoever decided to shorten both terms (GigaHertz/GHz and GigaBits per second/GMbps) to simply G, ought to be castrated with a unsharp piece of broken copper and then force fed his own genitals.

jersey Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 In the terms 3G, 4G, 4GLTE, and 5G, the "G" is for Generation.
