Lotusbluete Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 what about phuket cable (the tv company) they offer 4mbps.. is it any good? Can't comment about Phuket cable, but we have a feed from Patong Cable and it seesm to work quite well. It's a CAT service and 2 types of service are offered, I think 4 Megs and something like 12 Megs. We have the 4 Megs service, costs about 500 baht/month. what about stability and pings? Sorry, never got back to you. Trouble is that Patong Cable's Internet service has been crap these last 4 days. 3 days ago they said is was CAT's fault. This morning no service, I phoned and magically service came back 10 minutes later, but slooow. Technicians came to house 30 minutes ago, plugs in his PC and declares service OK. I say wait a minute, connect with my PC, make a speed test which cannot complete as speed too slow to even measure. Told the cable guys I was cancelling the service if they could not bring back the 4 Megs promised. Sigh sigh.. they seem all to be just as bad. Hallo Living in Kata, as I am about to sign up for PA Cable's Standard Service I would like to know whether it is back to "normal"? As I am just checking my e-Mails and some occasional internet surfing their offer of 4 Mb/512kb seems to be quite reasonable at THB 499. Especially as you don't need a telephone line. Your feedback would be appreciated. P.S. I am a bit surprised that in Kata you have Patong Cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patong cable Internet service seems to have been working to specification the last few times I checked. When I'm over in Patong today I'll make a speed check and copy here. We have some business properties in Patong where we supply a variety of internet services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitalchromakey Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Speed all well and good, if you are a regular surfer like me, 4Mb is plenty. I have 3BB, never had a problem until a few days ago. I figure it must be the internet as I have tried everything on the computer to correct it... I can seem to connect to any website I want to except bbc.co.uk, and I also cannot access my yahoo mailbox. Everything else is just fine. Not your computer PB - It was 3BB problem that started with the BBC; gradually was getting worse to also include Yahoo and the B..... Post (DNS/IP Address issue I think) - was only on the lower speed 3BB plans and lasted about 5 days, they fixed it Saturday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
