Presently using a true move 3 g dongle, we seem to be on the edge of their service area and the connection keeps dropping which is hassle when trying to send e mails
TOT offer a satellite system --any reports/advice would be appreciated

I had a mate in the sticks who made an amplifier for it himself from a Metal Dustbin lid. He got the instructions on youtube. Saved him a bundle apparently.
A friend of mine just had TOT round and they fitted a system. He has a Nano-staition on a Long pole on his roof.I think He's gone for 590 a month package and they charged him about 6000+ Baht to fit the system.
The hardest thing is getting them to come round !!!!

The satellite is aledgedly a 1mps link. It's been discussed and the consensus of people who have it is that it's not very good.
I asked tot and even they said it was crap. It's not their service, they are just a reseller I believe of the ipstar service.
Have you checked if wi net is available?
Yes is ipstar. I believe Sabang has it and works ok for him. A bit pricey but when in the sticks sometimes no choice.Originally Posted by Necron99
^ you are mistaking satellite with WiNet which is a local broadcast wifi.
I am building near Sang Ka in Surin. Any idea what the monthly and installation cost is?Originally Posted by Norton
There is a lot of people in the UK watch television through something very similar ,,,,its called SKYOriginally Posted by pseudolus
I suppose in time a good network will be set up , whoever gets a top system up and running will be onto a good earner
oh yeah nidge. we have internet where I live n most people here are gobsmacked that someone would pay even 500bt a month for this internet thingy. For what I'm asked .
it's not in the sticks cos there isn't enough farang out there but I know you boys are trying.!
will not put up wiv the "Nanny state" so don't push it on me.
Not cheap. Installation is if I recal about 20k.

I use a 3g mobile wi fi from CatTelecom. If you're within about 9km from nearest tower should work for you. Check at local office. 631 per month. Can't recall price of modem but around 1,000 baht.Originally Posted by Humbert
Not sure about ipStar installation cost. Monthly rates range from 1,500 to 8,900 per month depending on speed you want.Originally Posted by Humbert

I must have the same system as you ,my modem cost me 3700 baht cos its 21.6 mbs ,its got a little adapter on the side which plugs into the cable which goes to my antenna out side which I used for my old CDMA service ,the speeds OK and much better than the old CDMA, I am 12 kms from the nearest tower that.s why I had to pay more, my mate is sat very close to it and does not need an antenna or the expensive modem I think his cost him 1300 baht
I'm pretty dumb about these things. You use 3g mobile wi fi for your home PC? I thought 3g was for mobile phones only.Originally Posted by Norton
^ nope 3g is 3 g.
I use an old Samsung galaxy phone and share my internet via wifi to my laptop n desktop .
hang it up high where the signal is good and away I go.
Yep. It's a wee wireless modem about the size of a ciggy lighter. Plugs into usb port. Talks on internet via a local mobile phone tower. Mine never drops out but can be slow when the local tower is overloaded. Works fine for near all most folks use. Steaming vids are jerky but all else good. Go to your local CatTelecom office. They can get you all sorted.Originally Posted by Humbert
If you telephone 2322 in Bangkok they will furnish you with the number of your nearest CAT office ,if its any use the telephone number in Buriram is 044 612114 , the guy there speaks decent English.
Freudian slip there.Originally Posted by Norton
Yeah ^ that was what I was implying
