As I don't have any or tried any of the quoted providers apart from Netfix it really isn't of any relevance to me I tried Netflix and found it to be rubish for me. 

Pray tell what do you watch that's not rubbish?

Netflix in any country is in my opinion is rubish not worth the money

Netflix has more than 44 million subscribers in 41 countries. 24% of the UK like their rubbish.   Netflix is far ahead of competitors such as Amazon’s Prime Instant Video or Sky’s Now TV, and is continuing to grow faster than the other services.  https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/mar/22/netflix-amazon-sky-uk-subscribers-streaming

I thought over here in Thailand they had caught all the VPN users on there Netfix so you can now only get Thailand netflix??

No problem using a VPN in Thailand.  But Truevisions has a lot of TV shows with Thai subtitles and the wife likes that.  Hook the internet to the box and you get the tv guide and it does a lot of stuff.  I use Truevisions, Netflix and Kodi most of the time.

Since it is now legal where is Uber operating?  I registered with my Facebook account and got an SMS confirmation.  Don't know how to find out if it is in my area.  I don't want to order a Taxi right now just want to find out if it is in this area. Never mind I found the uber site for cities.

I never got over it.  I had to come back.  I used to try and figure out why.  I never was able to.  I stopped worrying about it.

we had the maxwell wisdom alarm system firred through out the house,with an alarm that can be heard a mile away,also its conected to a phone,home and mobile as soon as it goes off.

a cctv was fitted to a property near us,now they wish they never installed it,unless you are glued to the monitor all day its not much use if  a thief was to cover their face.

When I like it is when I'm out at the mall and I want to hang around some more or eat a long dinner.  I have an alarm but it's nice to check the house and dogs to make sure everything is OK and I have a leisurely dinner.  I can also watch my wife when I'm not home.

Do you get 40 hours backup from them?

 

And they are sealed-lead acid, not necessarily deep-cycle.

 

 

A couple of hours which is enough time for me to do something about any intruder.  I'm notified if the power goes out and I call my stand by SAS team.  I use 4 UPS's, at 400baht a battery not much expense every two or three years.

very irregular but due to a special protection board which switches off a brown-out phase it happens for a few minutes and up to 2 or more hours. if only the phase goes to which PCs or TVs are connected we won't even realise that the inverters took over because switching time is less than 20ms. we realise it when also one of the phases are off and an aircon or two stop working. i am referring to Thailand.

 

in Florida it was different. thunderstorm with high winds = power off 2-5 hours total power cut. immediately obvious because only single phase connection and central airconditioning. unlike Thailand we had only our PCs connected.

 

deep cycle batteries which are recommended for UPS are dàmn expensive in Thailand.

About 400 baht

I have 4 ups units that cost 3000 baht each.  With a little knowledge you can replace the batteries for 400 baht instead of the whole thing.

I have numerous camera all mounted behind the tinted windows of my house looking out over my yrard and front and rear gates with auto flood lights illuminating those area's at night.Iit records to my computer using iSpy.

 

Cams, PC and modem/router are all on a large UPS, obviously at night if the power goes out my security lights dont work rendering my cams useless.

Cams don't have IR?  Even the cheap VStar ones have IR and work at night.

I'd be curious to know how the value of the website has changed since the change in ownership and format, measured by the number of hits and views.

I heard a number of posters have banned Thai Visa.  Someone finally realized how the cow ate the cabbage.
