Cat-cdma

[BlackRussian]

I read a lot of positive reports about that in the north of Thailand. What about Samui? I have to use FiWi from IT Center now, it is quite expensive and very slow (I suppose not because of their quality but because I have only one bar of signal strength in my place. Slightly increased it with special directional antenna with signal booster but not dramatically). And my landlord does not want to setup TAT ADSL for some weird reason.

Thanks for your opinions.

WiFi from ITC-Samui cost's 15baht per hour (expensive?)

if you go to an internet-shop you have to pay between 60-120baht per hour

about what speed do you dream (need) ....256kbit, 512kbit, 1024kbit, 2048kbit.....?

For more help to you, some hardware-infos more are needed.

How you connect to ITC now? USB-Stick, internal WiFi-card, what type of antenna do you use?

Even less then 15. I pay 2900 baht for 400 hours so 1 hour is only 7.25 baht. But I prefer to have permanent connection.

I was living in Hua Hin before Samui and I had unlimited 1024kbit TOT ADSL for 1000 Baht/Mo. It was about honest 180-200 kbps to the West and it was enough for me to download streaming video etc.

I use external adapter "hField" with built in directional antenna with amplifier, you can easy find description of this device in Google. Or just believe me, it is very good I am just a bit far from the nearest hotspot. Thank you for the links and questions!

do you use this one?

minimum receive power of -98 dBm that's very good to

looks great! but he have only 32mW power

but, do you understand this type of antenna?

It is a YAGI directional antenna....i hope you not used as show on the picture.

For the best signal-strength you have to put your antenna outside of your room/house

and adjust the antenna to the right position, same as a tv-antenna.

Check out for signal-strength with software who show you the network details.

best (my opinion) is this one

From your antenna you take a 5m usb-cable to connect your notebook.

If not enough cable.....no problem, u can extend the usb-cable up to 25meters!

Sometimes it's work with 10meters of cable without any problems.

If don't, just buy usb-extension-cable with a amplifier after 5meter.

One 5meter cable plus 4x 5meter cable with amplifier/booster, = 25meters

if you need more help, just pm me
