Jdiddy Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Just rented a house in Chiang mai for 6 months, is it possible to get a 6 month fixed line internet deal? I don't mind if I have to pay the whole 6 months in advance, I'm not after fast download, 5mbit would be fine so I guess I could get on a cheap plan and just pay the whole 12 Months if thats the only way. Wireless/mobile internet is not an option as I'm after a low latency reliable connection Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taotoo Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Not sure, but a couple of years ago I got 3BB ADSL and paid 6 months up front (due to being foreign), and a 12 month contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casualbiker Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 They generally are 12 month contracts BUT you can move contract to a different house.. also using 3bb as an example it's only 612b Inc tax per month for 10mb service. Usually the connection fees are waived but it does depend on the office / shop you buy it from.

Jdiddy Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Thanks guys, went to the shopfront in pantip plaza near night bazaar and signed up, paid them for 6 months, contract is 12 Months with a 6xxx cancellation fee, seeing as 6 months only costs about 37xx I'll just pay the next 6 months and give the service to a good friend here if they need it then I'll be back here in June 2015 and continue the contract at the next house I rent Nice staff who speak decent english, no installation fee or any bullshit, I recommend them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krasung liver Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 was using 3g dtac air card 49 baht a day. spoke to local internet shop about 5 kilometres away who suggested a radio receiver. so erected an 18 meter mast with guy cables in back garden with a receiver on the top ( cost 10000 baht for receiver and mast ) now have unlimited broadband for 300 baht per month. paid for 1 year 4000 baht 400 for him to install it. have a password and just login. may pay to talk to local internet/games shop and see what they can do.

krasung liver Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 PS must be fast connection as man in the internet shop offered to pay for the mast and receiver and give me free internet if he could charge people in the village to connect to said mast. I did not take up his offer as I did not want my internet slowed down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiddy Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 ^thats a decent setup, other people using it would be fine as long as the local cellular tower had enough capacity to service them, but your right, keep it for yourself Wired internet is for me though, don't have to to deal with local congestion and lag spikes when I do online gaming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
