  1. Now next question, can I buy a BULLION adls router as unit, if I want to use the laptop upstairs ( WIFI ) instead?

    ...do I need specials files / driver from TRUE ?

    ...what is the modem I need for LAN and wireless , if both can be accomplish in one time ?

    If you were not "dead set" on the Bullion, you could buy a device that is, in my opinion, far superior, like the LinkSys ADSL Modem Wireless Router (WAG54G). It provides both modem and wireless router functions. No drivers required!

    Hi Rice King

    Today I went to Pata IT , I show them the print link you give me :

    They do not have the ( WAG54G ) but they have the one showing in the picture .

    They ask same price as the link mentioned 3800 Baht .

    I am still not sure if the link price is for the ( WAG54G ) or the one picture showing !

    Anyway I did not get it , as the box was open , and I could not come back tomorrow and get money back refund .

    If you can clarified this point for me .

  2. Hello David,

    The advice was “never buy any Modem/Router from a True shop” I probably had to extend that also to the advice they give you.

    To connect a modem bought from True shop regardless which brand name you need to use your computer to “dial” (PPPoE) the True ADSL connection. Normally a ADSL router is capable to do this them self, just by entering the setup.

    As my previous advice the D-link DSL-2640T router has a setup wizard which makes it very easy to get online, you only need to know your user name and password.

    The original Billion 5200S works without problems with Windows Vista, the only problem is that True changed the firmware. Which takes away about 50% of the functionality of the router, and making it basically not more then a simple Ethernet router.

    Trying to install the Billion 5200S following the Billion manual will surely fail, your best chance to get online is to call True support and follow the steps they suggest.

    Richard, i am looking a a new router / modem , a member sugest me LINKSys ADSL Modem Wireless Router ( WAG54G ) i download the pdf manual , it have 84 pages .... and going to see it ( modem ) the next few day

    Do you think i will have problem to conect to my existing TRUE account with it ?

    my USB modem TRUE give me 3-4 years ago ( TERA ) sometime crash and true make me feel stupid when i ring them , and I do not want to pass by them to buy a new modem ..

    advice form you will be welcome .

    thank

  3. Rice King , when i need to do the setup , create a new connection / conect to internet / set up my connection manually / will i have to choose 1/ connect using a broadband that requires a user name and password OR connect using a broadband connection that is always on ?

    thk

  4. Does anyone know how much it'll cost to get a 2nd decoder box for UBC?

    Ideally i'll want another card (with a gold sub @ B1500 p/m) and box only, no installation or dish/cable etc - can i go to a shop, show the particulars of my existing account and walk away with what i need?

    i ask because ultimatly i wont be using it in Thailand - and buying UBC here is a one off up front payment - i'd rather pay via CC or DD in Thailand.

    possible ?

    I just ring my friend , he is bit busy . but i know he bough a box for his room and it is link to the main UBC box in the house, he is able to watch ubc programs and change chanels as he want !

    when he is back in bangkok i could ask him more information , he did not pass by TRUE and are not paying extra fees, the draw back it is link by cable.

    thank you , i bookmark the page, the TRUE service man , did write DLINK ( perhaps the same ) in the list of modem good to buy, the connection is throgh a usb or LAN ( like telephone socket , but bigger ) ?

    thank

  6. I had True installed but, because of a technical situation (I had a Mac), the Zylux modem would not work. I bought a router and all is well. I still have the modem, power adapter, cables, and instruction manual. For the price of a beer, they're all yours. I'm currently living in Shanghai, and I'll be in BKK 7/5-15. I'm living in the CBD, not far from the Chongnonsi Skytrain station. Cheers!

    thank backflip, i am more looking for a bullion and answers to my question .

  7. I have a 3-4 years old modem ( TERA ) for TRUE connection, 10 % of the time I put on the computer I get a blue screen , the prob is from glausb.sys ( who are from this modem and true ) and sometime my computer freeze when I surf !

    Anyway I ring True, told the person my two problems, she told me now they give BULLION or ZYXEL to customers.

    Technician came today, I was hopping they will change my modem , but no ( only to new customers ) after hearing I will be charge for the service today, I told the service I am cancelling my account and will reapply as new costumer , anyway at the end , I did not be charge , but still need a new modem !

    The computer is new and have a large USB at the back ( LAN , I think )

    Please, if someone can direct me in the good way !

    If I get to Pantip and get a BULLION, do I need specials files / driver from TRUE ?

    I already download ( firware_true_5102s.zip )

    Now next question, can I buy a BULLION adls router as unit, if I want to use the laptop upstairs ( WIFI ) instead?

    When you look at :

    http://www.trueinternet.co.th/cus_hi_driver.htm

    what is the modem I need for LAN and wireless , if both can be accomplish in one time ?

    question three : Will it be better for me to cool down for few weeks and ask TRUE to came to install a new wireless modem , or they will charge me ( monthly extra for wireless and cost of unit more as Pantip ? )

    thank you for replying !

  8. :D

    If you are a regular purchaser of Drugs at Bangkok Hospitals careful where you go.

    I have purchased Reductil 10mg at BNH for B196 & at St Louis for B120.

    Also Cravit 500mg (antibiotic) at BNH for B168 & at Bumrungrad for B117.

    Can other members tell us of simular wide variations in their Drug costs? :o

    yes agree , and to buy at some chemists ( mainly if there are wholesale is half of the price )

    But what i am looking for is some hospitals have some very good doctors , then i do not mind to paid for a specialist 700 bahts , plus high cost for medicine! if you need to have some on regular basic , many place is cheaper , look at chemists in front of King hospital ( pinklaow ) or one place near Tawet market ( who is wholesale ) ! the price was much cheaper ( half price ) as what I paid in Bangkok hospital !

  9. I need a Urologist surgeon. I am not looking for a diagnostician. I am looking for a surgeon. I recognize that surgery is a skill and not all doctors are equals with a knife. Can you recommend someone?

    Thanks

    Please consider this person , he was refer to me from Christian hospital general doctor, my problem was when i have erection i have blood coming out my penis and pain.

    He pin point the problem and very easy to talk too.

  10. I done this exercise few time ago .

    Perhaps different countries have different rules ?

    I am talking about Australian dollars.

    Took AU dollars cash at the boot , I got 27.20 baht for 1 AU dollars

    Use my visa card to withdraw from ATM, they give me a TT rates 28.27 , but charge me 2.8 % fee

    Use my Amex to withdraw , the rates was less , but the charge was $ 1.25 ( comme to the same as visa )

    The best I find was sending Australian dollars to my bank account where I get the TT rates.

    If I have a second choice I will go for traveller cheques with high domination .

  11. You should have got one with your ADSL router / modem. Looks like an adaptor , plug your phone / fax & router into the ports on one side and a line to the phone socket on the other side. Looks like this.

    adslfil.jpg

    yes i got one of them , but my office phone allready on the phone line , i will get a double extention : one for the phone and one to plug to the computer dialup modem !

    the other problem i find , is if i a friend is using the computer on adsl , i can not make call from my phone upstair ( i can live with that ! )

  12. A friend of mine has been advised not to bother with a lawyer when they buy their condo. They have had the necessary steps written for them in great detail by someone who has bought and sold many himself. He says it is just a waste of time and money.

    Would anyone disagree....and why?

    Thankyou.

    I will not buy a condo without a lawer in my own country !

  13. So this guy claims he put an expensive ring in a bag instead of wearing it !!!! The Germans still claim that the Mercedes Benz is the best car in the world, so that say everything about the ring story.

    So what is the best car in the world then?

    Yugo, of course.

    cute !!! but i still go for the lotus !

    Oh what a blunder i made ... i was all the time meaning for the LEXUS ... mind going

  14. As no budget has been stated, and "cheap" is entirely relative I will say :

    Charter one of the Manohra boats, http://www.manohracruises.com/d_private.php , add some traditional thai musicians for ambience.

    speaking about river and relatively cheap ( use too ) is a boat ride , order the food from the restaurant before living and you have few hours on the river ! she will not be able to escape !

    ask for more info , i think many people know the name .
