Thread: Why should I pay?

Yeah me too. Been waiting for the Fiber TV to come out to my area so I don't have to deal with the satellite TV when it rains. Had to pay my last contract out (that I quit paying because pissed me off) before they would install the new one

Ive got 3BB 200/50 Fiber internet and True Fiber TV with 300/100 Internet and Platinum Package at the same time right now. When I get home in a few days I'm gonna do some comparisons to see if there is any real difference between the 2 providers and the high speed fiber lines.

Im hopeful that True is somehow better and can hold up while watching TV + Streaming like fuk + rain. But... Its TrueVisions. We'll see.

I'd be asking True why I'm having to pay...

You should know by now that Thais don't like to confront each other with trivial matters such as asking for directions, refunds or where the bum gums are located.

Or, if the direct approach doesn't work, throw a Gandhi at them.
Don't care for the way they do business, don't do business with 'em.

Or.....to save hardship and angst, go along with their nominal requests and policies.
As one will never convince Thais, and especially corporate-themed Thais, that their business practices are daft and unreasonable.

To the OP:

You should pay because you are in need of a service.

Have you read the fine print?

And to that end I would expect a very reasonable, professionally measured, mature and heartfelt-human response.

We have them as well.
Consistent service and follow up without charge.

Which is what I've always gotten when I've called True. Could you describe your experiences ringing up True?

It all depends. If the OP is unreasonably far out, it's an arguably reasonable request.
From other accounts, it seems they don't charge, presumably if you're within a certain area.

I'd rather keep those discussions confidential since they contain offers of infidelity and other indecent proposals.

But, I do remember when taking street food to Immigration officials (in Bkk) wasn't considered to be aberrant behavior.
You?

I'd agree if it was part of his contract...I'm sure a True representative would be happy to confirm the terms......

Prag You should pay because you want to be a thaiophile when it suits you.

If you want to be Thai play by the

My nearest agent/ engineer was about 38km away. He was okay. Used to ask the missus for 100 Baht for petrol. No problem. But mysteriously he stopped answering calls about a month ago. Something amiss as he seemed shifty in my book.

I wouldn't want to be Thai if it was a choice of that or being boiled alive.

Guilty.

My real question is:

you may want to check that package being offered - it might be too neutered to be worth it

ask about fibre - you can get all the television over it

I don't have a cable.

So, I was in a hotel and browsing the shit that idiots pay for cable TV and came across "Reuters" channel. The "programme" was literally a bunch of Japanese with umbrellas waiting in front of some hospital. That went on for about an hour. I actually took a video of this on my phone because I couldn't believe my fucking eyes. After this programming was finished, it was another hour of so watching Japanese workers carrying boxes in a warehouse.

I mean, WTF!
