A heads up for those that do the same:

For the last 10+ years I have paid my 3BB internet for the whole year in advance in return for 8% discount. Better than money in the bank.

Today I went to pay my annual bill, but was told," Sorry. Now 3BB have joined with AIS, no more 8% discount offered. ☹️

No, or hardly any competition removes competitiveness.

Told the same last month.

No free gift now either!

Now received SMS and Email that my 3bbmail email address will be discontinued on 27th April.

I have had this address for longer than I care to remember and it's causing a problem finding a new one and notifying everyone esp. Banks and Government Depts.

Also found out that none of the Thai internet providers or phone providers now offer a private email address.

Gmail,Yahoo,Hotmail ???? even Proton mail supposedly has a free option.

Mergers or buy outs like this are never any good for customers. Removes competition and the service quality deteriorates.

I learn't this over 20 years ago in the UK so opened a web mail address I have been using since then........

In another thread someone mentioned the peril of using an ISP address. As you say it is a PITA so don't delay and get it changed before they cut the access completely.

who cares?
been paying 631 baht/month for years

never knew i could have a BBB email, have had a gmail, proton and hotmail emails since i gave up my loxinfo email decades ago

Thanks for the hint.

I will take measure and switch to. a cheaper plan.

What do I need 1000 Mbit/s for in the real world.

I have been paying monthly for a while after 3BB stopped my 12 month paid service after 10 months ! Better in a way i don't have to shell out 9000 at once.

Thanks all for the advice.

zzzzz Ah! Loxinfo - that brings back some memories.

Now have a Proton, Hotmail and Gmail addresses ready for the next upset.

Just getting family, friends and especially banks and Govt Depts to acknowledge the change;

some are easier than others.

Yahoo not available in Thailand.

.mail.com no longer available in Thailand.

Forget Hotmail. If you ever have to recover your account, it never get recovered.

Gmail no problem, Proton don't know as I never needed to recover, but guess that will be fine as well.

Is 631 baht killing the bank?

True is more expensive for an even lower speed.

Can you open new Hotmail accounts? I thought they were all outlook.com now?

As to recovery if you set up the recovery code why not........

Myself, and quite a few others I know, have tried to recover hotmail accounts.

The procedure is simply ridiculous, where MS asks you to remember x amount of emails you have received or sent, including subject/date/ other recipients included and more.

The last one a friend tried to recover could answer all the questions, because he still had access to his inbox through outlook.

Each time he got the answer that it was not correct.

After going through the same procedure probably 10 times over a timespan of several days, because you can try only a few times every 24 hours, he gave up.

I had a similar experience with my Hotmail address and the verification questions they kept asking, which resulted in me scrapping that address.

Same here after my Hotmail account had been hacked by someone purporting to flog viagra in my name. It appeared to me that, even if I did succeed in answering all of MS's verification questions correctly, there was no guarantee that I would not be faced with another similar hacking incident at some point in the future.
