I think you cant you need a phone line to send the request of what you want to

download to receive them through the satellite. Check http://www.csloxinfo.com/broadband/index_en.asp for more details.

Correct,

the IPTV system uses a small ubc sized dish for downloading and a telephone line for uploading!

You also have the IPSTAR system which does not use a phoneline, but it has a bigger dish of about 1.2 meter diameter. Also is expensive at 3210 Baht/month, and capped at maximium 750 mb data traffic per month

awww, shucks.

it seems strange to me that i can order satellite service but can't get a standard phone line here.

by the way monty did you have troubles getting IPStar installed (assuming you have it)? I can not get any response from Lox Info, and I have called, emailed and faxed them.

No problems getting it installed, but I never dealt with Loxinfo directly...

They have local dealers around the country who handle the installation!

My dealer had it up and running within a week. Threw it out just recently because TT&T enabled ADSL on my phoneline
