thaitero Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) What you recommend internetprovider For VT 1 ? I have heard some good reviews about 3BB so i visited their salesoffice at Big C extra.. When they heard i want internet to VT 1 they told i should go to 3BB thepparasit office ( near night market) There older lady at 3BB thepparasit office told me that they can do internet in VT 1 but what i understood they have some problems with line and connection in that building. They reccommend i should ask other residents first what they think.. I did not quite understand what was the problem. Something about TOT owning boxes??? For example at VT 2 3BB lady said no problems. So what you think is the best for VT 1 A? What about sophon cable..Is that good there?

vtjforyou Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 TOT seems better than 3BB at VT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 If you can get Sophon BB over "fibre-to-the-home" in that building then I would go for it. I find it works very well and I get the full 4Mbs I have subscribed to, especially since they replaced some dodgy old cable in my ceiling. Quite reasonable by Thai standards at under 8000B/year. Buy your own wifi router in Tukcom for 2/5ths of the price Sophon want for one. The office near Tukcom should be able to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaitero Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) I live here and have used TOT for three years and it works good for 599baht month How is the speed outside of Thailand? reliability, Minimum contract time? Sophon is one option also i am going to ask if it is possible. I have that in another building.. What about wifitime you can buy from poolhouse (condomanagment)? Anyone use that? Is that TOT-connection also? Edited May 22, 2012 by thaitero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the wifi here 3 years ago and was not good and also expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaitero Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) O.k thanks for the info.. I will check first what is the provider behind "poolwifi".. because i think main provider should be something else what is behind poolwifi so the poolwifi can be used as a backup plan when the main provider is down.

Buy your own wifi router in Tukcom for 2/5ths of the price Sophon want for one. The office near Tukcom should be able to tell you. I too would recommend Sophon fiber, but on the monthly contract, having previously researched this, it appeared the people who signed up to longer term contracts were not getting the best customer support, where as the monthly suscribers appeared to be getting better as they are in a better position to cancel the contract which obviously Sophon dont want, I can now testify that with the 4 outages I have had in 9 months they have fixed straight away, two they could do remotely but two required an engineer to visit, they were here within a couple of hours of me contacting them. The main disadvantage is having to go to the shop every month to pay my monthly subscription, they wont let me set up a DD and although the keep promsing to send out email reminders they never do.

Darrel Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I'm on the yearly sub and they came out for the one service call I requested within a couple of hours as you say. They also spent several hours at my place and changed/adjusted lots of bits and pieces before finding the real cause of the problem, but at no point did they show signs of wanting to leave before it was sorted. So based on that I would say it probably makes no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaitero Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) Today i visited sophon office.. "no can do" they said so it seems if you want something else than TOT, options are very limited.. I visited also TOT office today.. Lady there took my name and address and said i should come back on sunday. I did not understand why i could not make instant deal when i was there today. Maby there was some misunderstanding.. Well she gave me some brochure (a scan attached with this post) so i quess should chooce something from that brochure and go back on sunday..

Darrel Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Those prices look low enough but presumably the "free installation of fixed line + number" means an ongoing commitment to pay the line rental on top of the ADSL charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyumcr Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I just paid my TOT on line and the price has dropped here at View Talay 1. For over a year I have been paying 599 baht a month and now latest is 417 baht for same. My download speed (Speedtest.com) is 6.33. Very reasonable and has been very good connection. I do not pay anything extra for telephone line or ADSL, only 417 month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaitero Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Today i picked up my wifi-modem from TOT office. Modem was less than 1000 baht. No deposit or advancemoney was asked for internet. Condo-office was also needed to contact. They wanted 1500 baht for installion or something like that. They told internet should be working within a week..Let see how it it works.. I Forgot to ask autodebit form for a bank. Anyone know if banks have TOT autodebitforms without need for another visit in ToT office..? Poolwifi is using CAT as a internet provider so i quess that is one option also to ask your own line from CAT.
