AIS launches fibre broadband and IPTV services

telegeography.com | COMMSUPDATE | 28 Apr 2015

Thailand’s largest cellco by users Advanced Info Service (AIS) has commercially launched its residential fibre broadband service, ‘AIS Fibre’, offering connection speeds of up to 1Gbps via fibre-to-the-home (FTTH), with VDSL connections also available in selected areas, alongside its ‘Playbox’ IPTV set-top box service. The operator’s website says that users must sign up to a twelve-month contract for its new home packages which range from 15Mbps/5Mbps (down/upload) costing THB590 (USD18) per month, to 1Gbps/200Mbps priced at THB27,990.

Under an initial promotion the set-top box and IPTV setup fees are waived, while Playbox IPTV content packages offer more than 100 TV channels plus on-demand content.

Additionally, Playbox owners get a free limited trial subscription to new Asia-based movie/TV streaming service HooQ for at least the first month, with a six-month free period available on internet packages of 30Mbps (download) and above.
AIS fixed broadband network coverage is initially present in selected parts of seven provinces – Bangkok Metropolitan Area (BMA), Chiang Mai, Nakhon Ratchasima, Udon Thani, Khon Kaen, Phuket and Songkhla (Hat Yai) – passing 130,000 homes, 500 districts/villages and 700 multi-occupancy buildings at launch, according to the company. Having budgeted approximately THB1 billion in the project’s first year, a three-year investment budget of THB4.6 billion is expected to achieve one million homes passed and over 300,000 subscribers. AIS’ head of fixed broadband, Saran Phaloprakarn, said that the firm expects 100,000 subscribers this year.

** The 15/5 590THB package is exclusively for anyone living in a condominium

AIS Fibre Broadband - and the Packages / promotion

AIS iptv "PLAYBOX" device. Setup Guide / User Manual / Device Specifications

The promotion page only mentions that the box is currently only available as a bundled service with AIS Fiber Internet Service.

Customers with the transfer speed of 20/7 Mbps and over package will receive the AIS playbox FREE!

FREE! AIS PLAYBOX: activation fee value 2,500 Baht (and available to Fibre HOME subscribers only at this time, the Professional Package is excluded from this offer.)

FREE!! Media contents service up to 6 months. When the period of the free media content service is expires, the customer can subscribe to continue the service through the AIS PLAYBOX website, at the normal rate.

15/5 Mbps Package, get FREE HOOQ for 1 month
30/10 Mbps – 1 Gbps/200Mbps Package, get FREE HOOQ for 6 months

.... then the AIS PlayBox site DOES NOT MENTION the normal rate options anywhere.

Customers can access Hollywood movies and sporting events from company partners such as CTH.

So, maybe one can assume the iptv 100 channel service is bundled/inclusive in the price, and HooQ Trial Subscription and the CTH partner will have cost details later.

Oh, gotta love this from the Q/A

Q: Can AIS Airnet (Wireless Broadband) customers get the FREE AIS PLAYBOX promotion?
A: Of course. AIS Airnet customers have a right to receive the FREE AIS PLAYBOX once they change their service to AIS Fibre and select a package with a speed of 20Mbps/7 Mbps or higher.

Any new coverage areas since that 28 Apr 2015 web page? In particular, I'm wondering about Pattaya.

I've just got AIS with the free Playbox (no interesting channels on it as standard). My question is, is this an Android box? Can I somehow install Kodi or ilikehd on it to view UK players and on demand such as BBC iplayer, ITV, Film4 or any other catch-up channels? If so how can I do it?

This could be a media tech breakthrough for me :-)
