I'm currently using TRUE Hi Speed and have been satisfied with the service from the installation process to the consistency of the connection. Do to a job change I will have to relocate to a condo serviced by TOT and therefore have to order TOT ADSL (http://www.tot.co.th/broadband/isdn/adsl.html).

I've also heard that dwellings with a TOT line can use Pacific Net DSL (http://www2.pacific.net.th/pContent.asp?sLang=EN&sMenuID=030618020837&sMeh=030618020837&nLevel=5).

If anyone has experience with TOT or Pacific Net ADSL I would appreciate any advice you can give me on:

1. Signing Up/Service

2. Speeds

Thanks

When I signed up with TOT in Dec 2004 there was minimum of fuss.

No minimum contract either, just 1000 baht a month for 1024/256Kb.

I have still not had a bill for the service.

Speed has settled down and is good until 5 pm, then it drops off dramatically, almost to dial up speed.

Morning e-mail downloads are running at 880Kb/s

I have the TOT 'goldcyber' package (via pacific) installed a few weeks ago..

Its 1024/256 yet I have never got more than about 200 Kbps (often don to 50 kbps).. The installation was a nightmare, TOT clueless, etc.. Its broadband and its cheap but thats all I could say for it.. Its approx the same speed feeling as I had out of a 128 line with JI-net.. I am considering paying another 1500 for a real ISP at 512/256 speeds for videoconferencing..

My buddy has the Hinet package on TT&T... billed as being 2MBit for again 1k.. installation again a nightmare.. after a week of working full time every day explaining and diagnosing where the problem lay in the TT&T / CAT system chain they finally found what I had been telling them, the line was fine.. From the CAT network uplink it was fine.. the issue was TT&T CAT connection after a week of denial they found that the modem installed at (you guessed it) the TT&T CAT connection for that line was faulty..

That said since his installation he gets solid 600 - 1mb actual international speeds and recently macafee reported a 1.4 MBit speed on his line !!!! Oddly enough you can no longer sign up to HiNet here on Phuket I am told ???

I have experience with 4 TOT installs using CS Lox / JI-Net / GoldCyber (I get roped into helping lots of locals) but only this one HiNET TT&T line.. It blows all the others out the water for the price but you cant get it anymore here ?!?!?! TiT !!

Thanks for the information! I'm moving next week and plan to order service right away, so I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks,

Jaycee
