Problems With Phone Lines

[fat_bald_farang]

as the forum rudely locked my thread i will post it again and let you know our findings and what solutions we found.

hi all

just a question about phone lines. we have recently moved offices. the lines we used at the old office were tt&t and tot. we used the tt&t line for our internet connection which was absolutely fantastic and like lightning. we used t-net as our isp and never had any problems - super fast super reliable.

we have now moved about 3 km away to a condo and bought 2 tt&t lines at great expense 13,000 and 10,000, as we knew the old tt&t line were really good and tot not so fast.

now we have 2 new direct lines that are totally unpredectable, sometimes it says 52k and it's like a snail, it logs on at all different speeds?

we bought webnet isp package as a reserve and tried that as it was always the fastest at our old office but expensive, that's why we used t-net because it was cheap. well on our new lines webnet is so slow it logged on at 19k today.

any suggestions would be great. we have already config the xp bandwidth to no reserve. thanks for that one!

but we really need help now, why is tt&t gone so slow?

well it's true be careful how far from the exchange you are, that turned out to be our problem.

we looked at adsl - tt&t offer it but it is hugley exspensive.

tot offer it for 1000 bht for installation and 1000 bht a month rental - pretty good eh?

whats the catch? it's the cost of the isp - depending on speed it could cost you an extra 5000bht a month so be careful.

isdn

isdn is not offered by tt&t.

however it is offered by tot - if you want it and are buying a phone line from another person becareful which one you buy.

the cost of isdn from tot - the rental and charges are the same as a standard phone - great eh?

whats the catch - again the isp's can be exspensive and some of them don't support isdn. loxinfo offers deals but it will cost you almost as much as adsl.

at present we are using isdn with asia net with just a dial up card 35 hours 200 bht.

the connection is full isdn and we use a phone through the connection as well. we bought the number from a local company and we had the system up and running the next day. don't forget you need an NT box and a modem - if you want to use a phone buy a cheap NT box, otherwise you will pay more for the NT box than the modem it self, a modem with 2 phone lines.

hope this helps.
