monty Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 They bloody did it again! No internet this morning, checked phonelines and all three numbers I have are dead silent. Contacted TT&T and was informed the main cable has been cut and stolen. Second time in about 2 years time here! Just hope they repair it a bit faster then last time, took over a week back then!!! Serious problem for me, most my bookings are phoned in, and most of my guests do need the internet access! Currently using a laptop with a Sierra Wireless Edge aircard as a back-up....

Mobi Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I wonder what had happened. I had a call on one of my landlines last night at about 9.30 p.m. and this morning I kept trying to send a fax, before realising that both my lines were dead. I reported them, but wasn't told about the theft of cable - but she did sound a bit amused about my predicament. It's times like these when ipstar comes into it's own, Monty. BTW I was trying to fax a site survey request to JSat to install a new satellite TV system. Never mind - sent it by email instead,via ipstar.

soundman Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Seven times this year in Kabinburi. Out for a day or two each time. Everbody says it is the TOT staff doing it. Copper at 270B per kilo is the culprit. Soundman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 Wow, they were fast this time, 2 out of three lines are already working, luckily the ADSL line is one of them 16 hours flat after the line was cut we are on-line again. Amazing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artisan Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Not only phone cables but also the copper conducting networks of lightning protection systems are fair game. On my condo, we lost all the down-conductor network on the roof but the air terminals were left so that we wouldn't notice for a while.!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 It must be happening all over, as it happened in the village where i live in Sakon Nakhon last month. Line out for 1 week, first time in 4 years so not too bad. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing... nothing amazing...they coiled up the cable, sold it back to TOT and re-installed it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been lucky Monty if it's only happened twice in 2 years. At our side of the lake near soi Siam Country Club it's been 3 times in just over a month. The first time, last month, they actually told us the cable had been stolen but then it happened again last week and same this week. Each time took a least 2 days to reconnect. The new cable hasn't improved the ADSL connection though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
