kriswillems Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) I would like to know why some of the hotels I stay at in Thailand have such fast internet connections. How do they do it ? And it comes free with the room. One Hotel we stay at in Phetchabhun is unbelievable, you can download a 700 mb movie in minutes. True via DOCSIS or FTTH offers very fast connections. It just depends on how much you pay. Edited December 26, 2014 by kriswillems 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangFerang Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Ok. Good news. Let's see if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceKadet Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 In Thailand? Like in the whole country of Thailand, from Chiang Rai and Sakon Nakhon all the way down to Satun and Narathiwat? Or is he as usual confusing the city of Bangkok with the country of Thailand. Would be nice if they would be able to deploy cable/fiber to the boonies first, or even decent 3G coverage before they take on this WiFi project. Only a month ago, I finally got connected to TOT WiMAXX. Wired connection might come next century... And I live in the more civilized part of the county...

Pib Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Are there 130,000 shopping malls in Thailand? If so, that's probably where they will put the 130,000 free Wifi hotspots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipperylobster Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Probably a long log in procedure, with advertisements...and then a time limit of 20 minutes or so. System would get overloaded quickly, otherwise. That is what I am thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xircal Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Too risky, assuming it won't be encrypted: http://www.onguardonline.gov/articles/0014-tips-using-public-wi-fi-networks#assume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaiChai Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Also taking about rolling out 4G next year while 3G is still having it's problems. All about the continuation of the populist policies under the guise of returning happiness to the populace. In other news Asia Pacific Telecom yesterday announced the advent of 5G in 3 years time. The rollout of 3g in Thailand is remarkable. In such a short period of time even rural Thailand has pretty good 3g. Its pretty cheap too. Why get broadband at 600 baht per month when you can have pay as you go 3g? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonsalviz Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 As bad as the internet is Thailand, it should be free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkerry Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 It would have been available sooner but it will take until April for all the government monitoring software running discreetly in the background to beinstalled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noitom Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> will we be able to get the daily mail on it? And don't forget free removal of cataracts and pressed down prices of "popular" household items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
