Popular Post Crossy Posted September 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2023 Any particular reason you need Starlink here, mobile data coverage is pretty good (EDIT - almost) everywhere. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post simon43 Posted September 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2023 Starlink needs the approval the the regulatory body in each country before it can offer service (it also needs regional uplink/downlink stations and internet backbone infrastructure since (like GSM in a moving cat), it must pass your signal on from satellite to satellite seamlessly (since each satellite is in low earth orbit and is only 'visible' to your fixed location for about 15 minutes as it passes overhead). You think Thailand will say yes? Fat chance! The same goes for Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar etc etc. There is very little reason for these countries to approve Starlink. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essex boys Posted September 11, 2023 Author Share Posted September 11, 2023 @Crossy I’m with true and they had to run a cable using the existing electric poles from the main road down our soi to the house, I reckon that’s about a quarter mile, I get pretty good speed but the network often flashes up an ‘ unstable network ‘ message so things like our cctv will sometimes not ‘playback’ because there’s a delay in the signal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are having network stability issues, I would talk to your provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardsong Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 a quick view at the startlink website did not show me whether available in Thailand but an estimated cost of €65/mo {2210 baht/month} with a one-time hardware cost of €450 { baht 15.300} no thanks as I have a reliable fast glassfibre contract for 1 GB/s for about a quarter of this cost without one time costs! but than, I am happy to live in a rural village in the North of Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satcommlee Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 It won't happen, if at all for a very long time due to regulatory constraints foreign satellites cannot generally be used in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeptic7 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Friend of mine just got it in USA. Spent over $800USD and it SUCKS. He is so disappointed. There's also no customer service and no one to talk to. Says it's all online and you're on your own. He's just gonna dump it, eat the loss and go back cable Internet/WiFi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobile data coverage is excellent almost everywhere in Thailand at a reasonable price. Knocks the spots off European service providers. And fast fibre is available even in the boonies and has been for several years. Anyway I'm biased against anything that has a whiff of musk about it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confuscious Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I've read somewhere today that Elon Musk blocked Starling out of fear for intruders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hat here that I will eat if that happens ???? The Starlink website map generally indicates when they have enough satellites in orbit such that they pass over the region in sufficient numbers to provide continuous internet service (typically 15 minutes for each pass). I don't think that map includes data about whether the country's regulatory authorities has agreed to allow the service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago I remember the big hooha about the awful internet service in Thailand when compared to neighboring countries. The reason given was that Laos and Cambodia put their development out to tender internationaly. They were happy with foreign investment and tech. Thailand decided they'd go it alone. They got left behind. You might want to season that hat of yours and pre heat the oven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand coverage for mobile and fixed line fibre is a lot better than many countries in the world.
