New To Thailand

[xerostar]

I have just moved from Oz.

Now situated in Bo Yang, near Sawang Arom, Uthai Thani.

I have a temporary connection via a mobile phone (True Move Thailand)

But the connection is far too slow to be practical.

We are within visual sight of a phone tower - about 500 Metres away (if that helps?)

I need to get a high speed connection - if possible.

Can somebody please explain my options (if I have any) in plain English.

Also a step-by-step list of how to go about it and who to see.

I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with all the terminology.

You need to contact TOT (phone company) and see if you can have ADSL line installed at you location. Its a service that runs over a normal wire telephone line.

Another option thru TOT is IPStar Satellite. Have seen written many negaitve reports about this service but some people are very happy with service. I believe expensive for what you get.

I use AIS for mobile phone service along with EDGE service. The service has improved so much over the last several months I have been very happy. Speed varies throughout the day depending on system load but a few months back I would get 12-18KB download speeds but for several months now I see 20-28KB download speeds. These speeds are during light loading of the phone system. Just yesterday I downloaded a 68MB file in 45 minutes. I've never seen it worse than a 56k dial up service unless system crashes.
