High Speed Broadband In Puket?

[nemo38]

On another section of this forum someone said that Puket was under consideration to become a 'technological village' as it was close to India where a high speed internet connection could run from there to Singapore.

What is the situation with Internet connections in Puket today? Is there a submarine cable to India giving everyone lightning fast connections?

I was told the IT center is going into Chang mai or is already kind of there. But as for a real network, well it took 40 years to build an airport. Then it only got done because enough payoffs were made to make it happen. I am sure it will get held to the same ransom.

It depends on what you call highspeed up to 1mb on sat. and in puket I would think you can get ADSL account. may be alittle cheaper. For the IT center I heard one person say in other forum he would do a download at the school because he had 8mb, that would be nice and $$$
