khunsanuk Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Hi, Hmm, *very* mixed experiences there and the last post (about the long queue and TA not planning any upgrades) has me a bit worried though. Still have 2-3 months on my 1-year package with MWeb, so I guess I can wait a bit longer before deciding. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 I have been using TRUE adsl since April with nothing but good results. Circuit was out one afternoon for a few hours but that was the only outage and speed was always above the 256/128 I paid for but at 14 baht per hour was not viable for full time use. This service was upgraded to full time international service at double the speed on July 1 and so far so good. My current connect speed is 577 and downloads average a little over 60kbps anytime I do enough to measure. As speed on MWeb was between 3-5kbps feel it is a real big improvement. Cost is now 750 baht per month total. Yes, you also have full use of phone line and can even use for 56k dialup if you like. Only 1 filter/splitter is supplied so if you have multi phones you will need to buy more or run direct to your computer and from splitter to your phones (which I do - one filter for 4 extension lines).

whosyourdaddy Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Dont wait too long. Deal may end. As a good friend says. -"Those who hestitate, masturbate " But I guess he has never been to thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 The sooner the better if this weekend is any indication. Speeds were way down and erratic. Some tests to US were under 100k for 512 service. Today running around 300k. Major lines were switched to CAT control recently so it may be adjusting phase. Or it may be oversubscribed already. But at any rate it beats dial up by a long margin and with full time service and not tying up phone line consider 750 baht well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Yeah, guess you have a point there. I'm paying ~600 for Internet now, plus ~400-500 for my phoneline. ADSL 1024 would work out to be likely even slightly cheaper. Sanuk!

khunsanuk Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Hi, Well, signed up last night for the 1024/512 deal. Will let you know. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expat Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Khun Sanuk, Which package did you go for? True or TOT? Sorry, I've read the thread 3 times now, but I'm not sure which you chose (though I think you went with True). Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Hi, True, the one mentioned in the original post. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hi, Well, installed the modem without any problems this afternoon and received a phonecall from True around 7pm with my login details. Obviously went to try it out immediately. Unfortunately I had restarted my machine in the meantime, and windows now utterly refuses to recognize the modem Spend 2 hrs trying to fix the problem, but no luck. Running the setup with the modem results in a screen telling me to plug in the modem, which of course *is* plugged in. Windows recognizes a new device, but refuses to accept that it is a modem. It keeps insisting that it is unknown and that it cannot install because "The installation failed because a function driver was not specified for this device instance." I am completely lost Sanuk!

Guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 That error message usually means an NT 4 legacy driver was installed on a Win2k/XP system. Try forcing it to use a different driver; use device manager and let windows scan the cd-rom for drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
