태국 수치가 뜻하는 것

중요한 숫자는 두 개인데, 모든 판매사가 인용하는 건 그중 하나뿐입니다. 일반적인 속도는 52 Mbps입니다. 상태가 좋을 때가 어느 정도인지 알려주는 숫자입니다.

읽을 값어치가 있는 건 10분위, 14 Mbps 쪽입니다. 역 위 기지국이 가득 차고 주변 사람들이 모두 같은 전파에 붙어 있는, 하루 중 아래쪽 10퍼센트일 때의 속도입니다. 중앙값이 높고 바닥이 낮은 나라는 정작 필요한 그 순간까지만 훌륭하게 작동하는 나라입니다.

영상 통화나 테더링이 꼭 필요한 여행이라면 일반 속도가 아니라 혼잡 시 수치를 기준으로 계획하세요.

태국에서 망이 붐빌 때 벌어지는 일

혼잡은 고장이 아니라 화요일 저녁입니다. 문제는 그때 eSIM이 무엇을 할 수 있느냐인데, 대부분의 여행용 eSIM은 할 수 있는 게 없습니다. 나라마다 도매 계약 하나, 망 하나, 길에 선 채로 다른 회사 eSIM을 한 장 더 사는 것 말고는 빠져나갈 방법이 없습니다.

여기서 Orbislo 트래픽은 AIS 및 TrueMove를 지납니다. 지금 쓰는 망이 나빠지면 여행 도중이라도, 요청하지 않아도 다른 망으로 옮깁니다. 그 순간에 방해하는 대신 옮기고 나서 알려드립니다.

• AIS: Advanced Info Service reported 47.1 million mobile subscribers at the end of the second quarter of 2026, of whom 19.7 million were 5G users, 1.2 million more than in the first quarter.
• AIS: In its 2025 results AIS said its 5G network covered more than 95 percent of Thailand's population, and it reported a 50 percent market share. New SIM activations on its network go through liveness detection backed by AI identity checks.
• True: True Corporation in its current form dates from 1 March 2023, when dtac and True completed their amalgamation under the True name. The combined company began trading on the Stock Exchange of Thailand on 3 March 2023.
• True: True reported 48.6 million mobile subscribers at the end of the second quarter of 2026 after adding 479,000 in the quarter, and 19.3 million 5G subscribers.
• NT: National Telecom, the state operator, was formed on 7 January 2021 by merging CAT Telecom and TOT. It is wholly owned by the Finance Ministry and inherited more than 25,000 towers, spectrum and undersea cables from the two companies.

• In July 2025 the NBTC board told AIS and True to submit clear plans to wind up their 2G and 3G networks by the third quarter of 2026, with 2G expected to close first and 3G after it.
• The regulator counted fewer than 3 million SIM cards still using 2G and 3G. Its stated reason for closing them is fraud, since fake base stations exploit weaknesses in the two older systems to send scam text messages.
• Since 30 June 2025 the NBTC no longer allows the import, type approval or certification of devices that support only 2G or 3G, so a handset without 4G is being phased out of the Thai market.

• Thailand auctioned 5G spectrum in the 700 MHz, 2600 MHz and 26 GHz bands on 16 February 2020, raising around 100 billion baht. Five bidders took part: AIS through AWN, True Move H, dtac, CAT Telecom and TOT.
• AIS, through its subsidiary AWN, won 23 of the 49 licences: one in 700 MHz, ten in 2600 MHz and twelve in 26 GHz. True Move H won 17, nine of them in 2600 MHz, and none in 700 MHz.
• CAT Telecom secured both remaining 700 MHz licences, TOT took four 26 GHz licences and dtac two. The 19 licences in 2600 MHz sold for a combined 37.43 billion baht.
• A further spectrum auction on 29 June 2025 covered the 850, 1500, 2100 and 2300 MHz bands, and the NBTC board certified the results on 6 July 2025 by five votes to one with one abstention.
• AIS, through AWN, won three 2100 MHz blocks at 1965 to 1980 MHz paired with 2155 to 2170 MHz for about 14.85 billion baht. True Move H won seven 2300 MHz blocks for about 21.77 billion baht and four 1500 MHz blocks for about 4.65 billion.

• In October 2025 the NBTC asked its licensees to limit signal radius near the borders so that Thai signals do not leak into neighbouring countries where scammers can use them. Signal close to land borders can therefore be deliberately limited.
