Does anyone have any specific information where I can buy a cable modem in Pattaya, I will have a look in Tukom tomorrow but if someone has purchased before and knows who stocks them here it would be appreciated.

Got mine from TOT when I signed up for their Internet service.

My cable modem came "free" along with the monthly service. Why would you want to buy one ? Will TOT reduce your monthly charge because you own the equipment?

Yes, you are all mostly correct, however buying your own modem means:

1. You are not committed to a contract term with TOT

2. You can purchase a wireless modem at around 1000 baht and then "share" your connection costs etc.

3. You can purchase a more powerful modem (speed) with better technology

D-link have an office on 3rd floor of dot.com and there are many suppliers there.

Cable modem?

AFAIK only 2 companies supply internet through cable, supernet and BTV, and they both use their own , non standard equipment.
