Abstract
This research is a quantitative study conducted using the Speedtest application installed on 5G smartphones. The objectives are: 1) to examine the quality of internet services provided through mobile networks in key tourist areas of Phetchabun Province, 2) to compare the quality of internet services across different areas surrounding major tourist attractions, and 3) to compare the quality of internet services provided by the main mobile network operators in these key tourist areas, utilizing descriptive statistics (mean values) and analytical statistics (p-values derived from ANOVA and t-tests) to analyze the data.
The results of the study showed that: 1) From the evaluation of the quality of internet services,
it was found that from the field test with the Speedtest application in the area of major tourist attractions in Phetchabun Province. The best download and upload speeds were measured at Wat Pha Son Kaew, with an average of 120.4 Mbps and 29.6 Mbps respectively. It was found that the speed of downloading data between most major tourist attractions ,there was a statistically significant difference (p-value < 0.001) and 4) The results of the service quality comparison study showed that in most cases, the internet speed of
the two service providers was either downloaded or uploaded. There was a statistically significant difference (p-value < 0.001).
