Thailand's top mobile operator AIS is gearing up to launch what it says will be the country's fastest fiber broadband services.
The operator aims to attract 300,000 users to its fiber service this year, increasing to 2 million by 2019, the Bangkok Post reported.
The operator first entered the fiber broadband fray in April and has already been shaking up the market. The company currently has around 200,000 subscribers to its existing fiber services, a roughly 2% share of the total market.
Now the company aims to disrupt the market further, with plans to offer an entry-level 20Mbps service for 590 baht ($17) per month, comparable to the prices of ADSL broadband services.
AIS will also offer 50Mbps services for 888 baht per month and 100Mbps services for 1,888 baht per month. All packages will include free WiFi routers, free AIS internet TV and free installation.
With the new packages AIS has increased its target monthly fiber net additions to 45,000, up from a previous target of 30,000-35,000.
