BKKrichard Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I will be moving into Hang Dong within a few week, what are the best landline/router internet options available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCor Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 You'll either need to ask neighbors what Internet providers are providing local-to-them service, or go to the provider website and look for a "Check Coverage". Most providers are offering Fibre these days, but it's not available in ALL areas. While there's still DSL, one would hope it's short-hop ~50mbps VDSL.

noise Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Rich Cor was correct but I would add to take your possible new address into the different ISPs offices and have them check what is available. The same provider will have different capabilities in different parts of the city. I had my provider change me from DSL to cable, but they said fiber is not allowed in our development (don't know why not). I have a 200MB/50MB program.

I have a 1,000/100 fibre service (which only seems to be @ 500/100) for 631bht/month. Pretty reliable, When my rabbit ate through the fibre cable a few weeks back, they had it fixed next morning at no charge.

BKKrichard Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Thanks all for the replies, much appreciated! 3BB It is indeed, called them 3 days later all was installed, works well. Only thing that was missing is the TV for the Boss. For 49BHT monthly with LOOX TV, you got the most essential Thai TV channels with Mono29 both Thai and English, which is a nice bonus. Netflix will fill up the remaining entertainment gaps I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just point your browser, tablet or phone here : http://cloudtv.3bb.co.th/tvonline/ You can also cast to your TV from there if you want.

dingdongrb Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I don't understand why anyone pays anything to watch TV. I stream all movies (yes even current releases), any TV series basically known to man, and any live sporting event, all for free using the Internet. I can even get those live PPV sporting events at no cost. No dongles, no set-top boxes, no special wiring..... just simple Internet browsing to search within many sites that are available for FREE!

I do remember television before cable and the internet , their was hardly any live sport , sometimes had snooker or cycling or cricket and highlights of football matches the next day and very few football games were even televised with the occasional live match . The films were usually a few years old before they made in onto the TV screens , films were released in the cinema , then put on sale via videos and then finally aired on television a few years after being released in cinemas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall having 3 channels on TV (and perhaps a few UHF) and there were live sports nearly every weekend. And back then boxing events were live well before the thugs started making millions with PPV events. I recall seeing events like the 'Thrilla in Manila' as well as many others without having to pay a <deleted> cent. Maybe a few of you need to go police The Night Bazaar area and down at Pat Pong (BKK) as well other places and report all the bootleg DVDs sales...LOL...LOL...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
