tt61 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I am currently renting a unit in VT5 Jomtien. Some True reps. were here selling internet connections to condo owners/rentees. I know it doesn't exist here, but perhaps in other condos/residences around Pattaya/Jomtien/Nakhlua. What I would like to see is a wi-fi connection that all residents of a condo can detect and connect to (subject to a subscription fee), saving individual internet subscriptions. For example here in VT5 this could be managed by the internet cafe in the basement or similar. To do this you need to mount external antenna amplifiers around the building to provide equal signal strength to all floors, and units. Do these solutions exist already anywhere in the region or do you think it is something residents would welcome? Advantages being minimal maintenance to the resident as all technical stuff is taken care of by the local wi-fi provider. Just an idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangsue Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 there is wi-fi available in my condo block in bkk. you just pay a monthly sub with the rent and they give you a username/password. i also pick-up a signal from 2 other condo blocks in the area (but cant log-in obviously). fairly common in bkk now i think.

monty Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Technically not so hard to do, unfortunately pretty much all condo managements won't let anything happen without pretty big backhanders or a decent share of revenue! Why you think so many condo's don't allow Sophon, or another cable provider in??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naka Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Many condo's in Pattaya have this service. 1,000 to 1,500 a month seems to be the going rate for a good high speed connection. I also know of places with free connections but normally these are a bit slow. Naka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also know of places with free connections but normally these are a bit slow. Naka. I really prefer my own individual solution, getting my direct phone line and an ADSL account (from TT&T). This has also the advantage, that I do not have to share the bandwith with our Condo Users, and not to forget after all the individual connection is kind of safer.
