Business Internet Recommendations

[Valjean]

What do people recommend for business Internet service? I need fixed IP address and some service level agreement - for instance limits on how much the line is shared. Don't want to go as far as leased line but happy to pay 5K-10K a month if the service, speed and features were right. Of couse happy to pay less also :-) Location central Bangkok

Talking to True but for one of their business packages it's not clear that fixed IP = public fixed IP. It might just be within the True network for office to office VPN type applications.

Recommendations anyone?

My work pays about 40K baht for a dedicated 1MB connection through INET. They give us about 20 fixed IP addresses to use. It is reasonably fast and reliable (much better than a consumer ADSL connection but still pretty lousy considering the cost).

The fine print of their 'service agreement' (cough cough) is pathetic. If they can squeeze a single packet through the connection then it is defined as 'working'. We spent about two months negotiating before they gave us the 'right' to cancel the contract if the speed or service was crap. Eventually they caved in. Give them hel_l.

I'm still not sure if CAT can pull lines in Bangkok, it's a try anyway.

If possible, their LitePaq seems to be what you need.

Fixed public IP address, at your price level you'd get up to 4 Mbps/1Mbps, or if upload is important (does give pretty good VPN connections) you can go for the 2Mbps/2Mbps G.SHDSL connection.

The Premium connections are already pretty good and stable speedwise, so I'd reckon the LitePaq should perform even better. Cat has heaps of international bandwidth after lots of the other ISP's started to create their own international gateways...
