True visions -- new fibre cable??????

[Patanawet]

I have had True visions Gold package (since it was called UBC).
Recently a Thai message onscreen which as far as I can make out was to replace my aged fibre cable.
No cost apparently.
Two engineers arrived (no English  -- 'my bad' as they say).
When I returned, new thinner cable and new decoder box. AND behind the TV an extra large box doing what I know not.

Post a picture. I am sure someone on here will have the same.

We just got True fibre. Very thin wire, no box. Goes straight to the router.

 

Your "big box" may be from the old coaxial cable system? We had that, no longer in use.

 

We had to pay 1000 B CASH for work.

 

PS. Internet is good.

The thinner cable is easy to explain, it is a fibre cable and what you had before was a coax, the fibre is about 1/10 the thickness.

The “wire” is actually a fibre cable. It usually requires a TMU between it and the router but it is possible that the TMU is incorporated into the router.

This is what is in a typical TMU with the exterior steel wire supported cable being terminated and an interior cable being spliced on to it then going to the router.
