it's mostly due to the peering with people like Microsoft, Google, etc.

Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone has done this and it works? I've successfully set it up on a Linksys PAP2 and on x-lite (SIP softphone), but I can't get it to register properly on a Nokia E71. I've briefly read about Nokia sip-client problems before about being behind a NAT router.

Thanks

It's not DNS, I've had this too on CAT and it's very annoying.. so for now my firewall's routing table makes 64.223.x.x go through True

What this country lacks is the proper age-based rating systems which are properly enforced. As with everything, it is always a knee jerk reaction: oh ban it, take it off the shelf, etc.. there has been so many cases like this now but no one has really thought much about how to prevent this kind of thing happening again in the future.

I cant imagine it not being legal now given there are so many Thai providers out there, some providing very competitive rates too. Even CAT is offering VoIP themselves through CAT2Call which provides you a Bangkok based 02-1xx-xxxx DID number, for 200 baht a month which can be used as credits for outgoing calls.

I've got it a few days back at MBK, totally love it. Except I've always had problems with Nokia build quality, I have some chrome peeling off at the bottom of it already, and I use the supplied pouch all the time.

TOT continuing it's defacto censorship of YouTube...

..and with no clear message like with the www.veoh.com.

Sorry,

The web site you are accessing has been blocked by the requested of The Communication Authority of Thailand.

You should look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veoh

Availability in Parts of the World. They decided to cut off everyone but people in 33 countries in the world.

Is your modem/router ADSL or ADSL2+

Do you have tinted films on the windows of your car?

I am on dtac's 140MB for 399 Baht a month if I recall correctly.

Ever thought about the possibility of a federalised Thailand, or a breakaway into two countries?

You can't justify a violent crackdown by saying the protest is blocking traffic. If the government is really going to use that as an excuse, then I must say the government is very ... I don't know what word to use to describe that.

And Samak's hot temper attitude isn't helping this even a single bit. I vote he should go back to the kitchen

And you would take Samak's word for it that he's pulling out of the constitution amendment idea? The only reason they pulled it out is to try and make PAD's demonstration seem illegitimate.

The PAD is not (seriously) dumb to believe Samak's/PPP =>hence Thaksin's words for things.

Sorry double post.

(Seems the problem isn't with Thai internet though, I'm posting from outside).

Hmm so that's all time machine is, just storing versions of files on a seperate directory each time. I honeslty thought it'd be something smarter than that... I guess it's another marketing thing that got me thinking that.

So instead of being protected, I had to do a full re-install of Leopard and programs, it's good that I rely on Microsoft Active directory as file server...

Typical mac, it looks nice, it feels nice, but it in practice it's useless

Microsoft Active Directory file server, heh if you want it put it that way. It's a windows server shared folder on a server which is part of an active directory (domain). I quite like the MS server stuff too

By the way, HSDPA is not a GSM standard but EDGE is. HSDPA and HSUPA will be rolled out on both AIS and DTAC to speed up PS throughput of data hungry subscribers (TV forumers?).

HSDPA is like an 'extension' to the original UMTS specification designed to replace GSM. HSUPA is yet another, which users will see higher uploads, it was designed because of the way users interact on the internet these days: share videos, upload photos, extensively blog, etc.

I'd be very surprised if HSUPA gets rolled out straight away in Thailand though.

Of course, as this is Thailand, the international standard for 3G is ignored and everyone who, in anticipation of this new technology, has already bought a "3G" phone is screwed - their phones won't work on AIS's system.

World standard for UMTS = 2.100 MHz W-CDMA.

Thailand: 900 MHz.

'nuff said.

Best regards......

I don't mean to defend anyone here, but this is what I think/know from my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong):

- AIS is rolling out UMTS on 900Mhz and DTAC on 850Mhz because of existing concession agreements. I see this is a very good inititive, otherwise when will we ever get 3g?

- Most of the cost in rolling out a mobile network is not to do with the equipment, but building up a cell site, e.g. supply it power, digging up grounds, etc. Equipment and antennas can be easily changed cheaply.

- 2100 isn't the 'world standard' but it's what is deployed in quite a few places in the world. UMTS is designed to be operated on many different bands as defined by 3GPP.

- Many operators, including those in the west are beginning to roll out 850 Mhz and 900Mhz bands because of the less number of cell sites needed (lower frequencies can cover a larger area: due to many reasons such as diffraction, moisure, etc). Telstra in Australia and Finland are good examples. I also read somewhere O2 are doing a test with 850Mhz.

On the error 404 in firefox, what does it say on the bottom of the page. Does it give a server signature of some kind, because an error 404 is usually a problem with dead links, but I wouldnt be too surprised if it was due to a misconfigured proxy.

I've never seen anything more than ~1.5mbps realistic speed out of 3, Vodafone and O2 since I've been using them here in the UK. The upload speeds being crap is a technology limitation and not a problem with the operators in Thailand. 3G has been rolled out by CAT only in provinces that Hutch has not covered. Hutch's network is a much slower network, so it depends where you'd be as to what service to use. Bangkok is covered by Hutch.

PS Hutch is 3, branded as Hutch in Thailand for reasons I cannot remember now.

I don't know if this is relevant but I use IE to surf Thai sites. Before everyone has a knee jerk reaction and say that it's because the Thai web designers don't code things properly, you'll find that firefox doesn't do proper Thai word wrapping out of the box. This is because unlike English, Thai does not have a space between each word and so word wrapping has to be done purely out of a dictionary. IE supported this a very long time ago. Being unable to wrap Thai words, this will cause layouting (be it tables, or purely css) to break down because a whole chunk of word would just mean the browser can't do anything but allow it to keep expanding horizontally, creating horizontal scroll bars, etc.

I've found an addon which I thought still wasnt too nice, but correct me if I'm wrong, but I think firefox 3 beta (it's still not very stable IMO) has built in Thai wrapping. The last time I used Firefox 3 a month ago, it kept crashing on me.

infact, a lot of newer phones these days have a ringer setting, loud, soft, off. hehe

Is there a little toggle switch that says 'tone-pulse' or something by the side of the phone which may have been pushed to pulse by mistake?

I did some IT consultancy over the summer, all the local customers rejected the idea of linux straight off and said, are you mad not using windows? To be totally frank though, I totally love active directory (domain system) in windows networks.

2107% increase in bandwidth over the past 5 years in Thailand you'd be surprised haha..

I think MICT is trying to stir up this feeling for parents that the internet is dangerous, etc.

I paid 2.50 pounds per MB in the UK on Vodafone for data because I did not sign up for a data package sometime last year. Well now vodafone has a nicer deal which 1 pound a day would give you 15 MB, but then its still 2 pound per MB afterward though.

Those are actually normal costs for data on the mobile phone if you dont have any packages.

DTAC sent me a bill for 3000 for data because I overused my 30MB package, which they divided into days for me (because I signed up in the middle of a billing cycle but didnot realise).. negotiated a bit and got that cut to 400:)
