sceadugenga Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 TOT are offering an internet deal that includes TV channels so I signed up yesterday. I've included the brochure... at the second attempt... as it's not on the TOT website, you have to go into the office or the shop at Central. Apparently you can watch the channels on your other devices as well. Waiting for the tech to come now, the box is an extra 69B a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Oh, the price is the same as I pay for an internet connection now, 590B + tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldBattles Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 If there any good channels the extra 69 Baht per month should be work it. I know one guy who signed up for the program but it was around 600 baht per month and he cancelled it. He said it was mostly Thai programs.

sceadugenga Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 I'll give it a try anyway because I have mainly Thai programs now. Easy enough to cancel, just take the box back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwentyBaht Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Anyone wanting to test IPTV streaming can install VLC Player on their computer. And go here; http://www.tvonlinestreams.com/ Copy and paste the URL stream into VLC Player. And, wait a few seconds. And, here: http://www.vlc.eu.pn/ Sometimes, TOT IPTV test streams are listed.

worgeordie Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Is this IPTV service only available to new TOT subscribers, or can anyone with TOT service get it at same price ? regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) They came out and set the box up today, the system seems ok and you retain whatever connection you all ready have, it just takes up one of your HDMI things on the TV. I've had other problems all day so I haven't really felt like checking it out, my neighbour thinks I never got the speed upgrade that's supposed to come with it but I've left that for tomorrow as well. Sorry worgeordie, just saw your query, no, I'm a long term customer. Edited August 14, 2013 by sceadugenga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldBattles Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Keep us posted about the TOT box. I was told by another friend that he could not use his because his internet speed was not fast enough. It was not fast enough because like me TOT can't deliver a faster speed. However, for domestic broadcast TOT speed should be acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I'm interested but a bit confused...the brochure says the box is 150 baht per month with 500 baht deposit ( which I think further down they say is waived ) and a 12 month contract. On top of that you need an internet package of at least 6-7 Mbps so 590 baht with that you get the free package of channels ( what channels ? ) Channel package S is 290 baht extra and package M is 580 baht extra ( again what channels ) If you have the TOT fiber 2U internet then channel package S is free and package M is 290 The IPTV service shares the bandwidth with normal internet use ? ..so one or other could be slowed down. How to use the service on other devices ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 I need to get it up and running, I can't get any English language channels at all at the moment and the set up is very slow. I'm going to ring them later and see if they increased the internet speed which I thought was part of the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 I just rang the TOT Internet English language number... 1100... waited no time at all and was told my speed was only half the 10mb I am entitled to. The techs are being contacted as I speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hi Sceadugenga, When you find time and when you have it running ok,please give a report as I am interested in this product. I am a bit confused, did you already have TOT broadband,? and you got this package for free ?, except box rental, How long do you get it for free ? I have had TOT 2GB , 4GB 6GB and now they upgraded to 10GBs , it has not been so good, lost connection when it rained !, just about unusable when the school kids got out and started playing games, BUT for the last 3 weeks it has been very good,can stream all evening with no buffering and even in the storms lately has stayed connected, so TOT must have improved something, so for now I will be staying with them. Thanks regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldBattles Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 If you don't believe me that TOT sucks 6 km outside of Chiang Rai city except for the Rajabhat area please prove to me. I am talking about uploading from the international gateway. Nothing ever changes just the sales pitch and the suckers that buy into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Well I live 20kms south of the city. I had the most basic TOT internet available when we had the land line put on. I had the TOT satellite before that and it was more expensive with connection problems. What I have now is fine, on a good day I can pull down a 1gb file in a couple of hours... wink wink nudge nudge... My neighbour told me about the IPTV deal that was the same price as what I was paying now, 590B a month plus tax. I went into the TOT office on the Thoeng road and told them to sign me up. They wanted to give me the box then and there but I said send out a tech please and he came yesterday. There's definitely teething problems with it but I will persevere, the only extra charge is the rental of the box at 59B. I'm going in tomorrow to ask them where all the English language channels are, my neighbour insists he has them for no extra cost.

apetley Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Before anyone tries any TOT package I would advise them to ask neighbours if they have the same and what they think. We asked at our local office about this package and they were happy to install next day. It was fortunate that wifey met a friend in the office who deals with the engineers and they advised that the phonelines in our village are so old and neglected that the service would be near useless. Refreshingly honest for a change so we decided not to proceed with the install.

sceadugenga Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 Good advice. Our land line connection to the village is relatively recent and I have a neighbour who constantly upbraids them if it slips below standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldBattles Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I have the same problem with TOT Internet at Doi Hang for 8 years. TOT would like to fix these problems but Bangkok will not send them the money. The money goes to the rice program so people in my village can stay drunk between rice plantings and harvesting.

Turkleton Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) I have a 10 Mbit Adsl-line from TOT already, so it's only 59 Baht/month for the box (basic package)? Edited August 18, 2013 by Turkleton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbour has just been offered a superior connection if he is prepared to supply a 10 meter (30 foot) tower that they can attach their bits too. There will be another charge as well, I think he said 20,000 but he gets three months trial before he pays it. I suppose if it's no good he can sell the tower to a bungy jumping enthusiast. Mind you, I find the current connection perfectly adequate for my needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonaldBattles Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 TOT has never offered me a tower. Maye their radio signal is not out this far. They did say that one day I might e able to get fiber ooptic cable. I am still waiting but don't expect to get much. Are all of the IP TV channels OK?

sceadugenga Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) They seem ok to me Don but it looks like you pay extra for English language channels. If you just want to try the basic system all it costs you is the first months rental on the box, 59B.

DonaldBattles Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Do you know how much extra you pay for the English language channels. Thai only is free from many sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 My information is that there are two plans available, 290B and 580B a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
