OpenNet is a surprisingly good deal.Jacobincambodia wrote:Can you do a speedtest? I'd love to see the results. I hear pretty mixed reviews about OpenNet. They offer such cheap packages, so it's hard for me to believe it's reliable, stable and "get your paid-for speed" internet. But I'm open!
Most people I've talked to about it, including me, have gotten faster speeds than they paid for.

I was paying at least $30 a month for a 128Kbps unlimited connection in Phnom Penh back in 2010.
I'd pick a movie to download and it would be ready to watch the following evening.
It was actually faster to go to Sorya Shopping Center and buy the bootleg DVD's. I'll tell my grandkids this story...

And now I get about 40Mbps at home for free here in Saudi. And there are so many Pirate Bay mirrors online these days that I don't even need to use a VPN.

Re: LTE in Phnom Penh
Both Digi and OpenNet openly market their double/tripple speeds at night.
Digi does sometimes open up on torrents for me during the day, but every night at 11pm until 7am my Digi tripple in speed.

Maybe, Garry Crabtree has an idea of prices in PP at the time.

Re: LTE in Phnom Penh
Not sure what the exact price was but I didn't think it was that much.
At the time there was quite a few internet cafes especially near the riverfront so I think competition keep the prices down.
I do remember trying to make an international call from one once and it was something like 5$ a minute. That was for a VOIP which was quite new at the time, but still cheaper than the normal landlines.

Actually, I once got thrown out of an internet café and the owner had the cheek to call me a thief.
Bong, I was only browsing.
