Domestic vs. International Bandwidth: Navigating Thailand’s Network Landscape

Quick Summary (TL;DR)

Thailand’s internet is unique: Domestic (Local) bandwidth is exceptionally fast and cheap, while International (Inter) bandwidth is the premium bottleneck. IC-MyHost provides a massive 450 Gbps Local / 200 Gbps Inter backbone at CAT-IDC, ensuring your global applications never face a slowdown.

Understanding the "Split Bandwidth" Model in Thailand

If you are hosting a Thailand Dedicated Server, you will notice two types of bandwidth. Understanding the difference is crucial for enterprises serving global markets.

1. Domestic Bandwidth (Local Network)

This refers to data traveling within Thailand. Thanks to the National Internet Exchange (NIX), local speeds are blazing fast. This is perfect for local e-commerce, streaming to Thai users, and internal corporate apps.

2. International Bandwidth (IIG)

This is the data leaving Thailand to the rest of the world (USA, Europe, Singapore). Since Thailand is a peninsula-based hub, this bandwidth relies on undersea cables. For enterprises with overseas branches, International Bandwidth is the most critical spec to watch.
