HarryHacker Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 ....the tech boys will help you for sure, however if you want to 'call home' using the internet then you got to use Skype for sure! The others will fill you in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rio666uk Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 i think it depends where in North East you are... near a town or out in the sticks...???? you will obviously need a fairly fast connection if you intend to go down the VoIP telephone route - are you able to find out what adsl services and coverage are available to your location... i guess not otherwise you wouldnt have posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 In most locations you do not just order up a phone line as there are none available. So you have to either wait years or buy from someone else. And unless you are in a city area you are probably not going to be able to use for more the 56k modem speeds (even if they claim adsl) as all providers are highly oversubscribed and the international lines are very highly priced. Although you might be able to get more speed with business type plans it is by no mean for sure. You will probably have to use satellite which some report good and others report bad - luck of the draw and who sets it up I guess. I believe VOIP without licence is illegal under Thai law. All in all not a simple question but if you read back you should find prices and links that you can check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plus+ Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 With a dial up, using skype is a headache - there's at least five second delay. You can't talk to people with a five second dealy. It's like being on the Moon. Webcam is another one. I understand that True Adsl doesn't allow webcams. Welcome to the IT hub of Asia. Clowns they are. ######ing clowns.
