khunsanuk Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Hi, Does anybody have some more info on this: http://www.asiamedia.ucla.edu/article.asp?parentid=7023 Had a look at the TOT site, but couldn't find anything on this topic.

Straycat Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Hm. That sounds pretty good. And only six hundred baht per month for 512 kbps transfer is quite an attracive offer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lembeh Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Some one was saying to me recently that that deal only applied to surfing sites *within thailand* (about as much use as a one legged man in an arse kicking competition). -j- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
think_too_mut Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Intra-Thai only. See below (bolding letters are mine): CS Loxinfo offers new unlimited deal Karnjana Karnjanatawe CS Loxinfo has heeded the government's push for cheaper broadband Internet access with a package of 20 hours for 400 baht per month as well as an unlimited deal for 600 baht per month that is restricted to domestic web sites . Earlier, TelecomAsia also introduced an unlimited domestic Internet package for 550 baht per month. CS Loxinfo president Dr Tachpong Hotrabhavananda said the service was launched following the government's policy to push low-cost broadband Internet access. The company teamed up with Advanced Datanetwork Communications (ADC), a Shin Group subsidiary, to build a 2.5GB broadband IP backbone network. "Our goal is to reduce the bottlenecks in broadband service here. The network is connected to our data centre as well as the domestic exchange of CAT Telecom," he said. ADC will invest around 200 million baht in the new nationwide network, according to CS Loxinfo deputy managing director Anant Kaewruamvongs. The technology can also be upgraded to 10Gbps. "We can differentiate ourselves from other providers in that we do not offer only low-cost ADSL service, but we have built a gigabit ring around the country," he said, adding that the network can support various applications including video streaming. CS Loxinfo has divided its low-cost broadband offerings into four packages. The first is called B1 and offers unlimited hours for domestic service only. The monthly charge is 600 baht for a 256/128 Kbps connection. B2 provides unlimited domestic access and 30 hours of access to international web sites for 800 baht. B3 provides 20 hours of access to both domestic and international web sites at a cost of 400 baht. B4 provides access to all web sites with unlimited hour of usage at two price levels: 3,600 baht for 256/128 Kbps and 6,500 baht for 512/256 Kbps. All prices are excluding VAT, an entrance fee of 1,500 baht and an ADSL modem (around 4,900 baht). The services are available to those with a TOT fixed line in some areas of Bangkok and 13 big cities. (Details at http://www.adc.co.th.) By April, the service is expected to cover all of Bangkok. Prices for ADSL service up-country will be set soon. CS Loxinfo expects to add around 30,000 subscribers this year. Meanwhile, the ISP will be listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand around April this year. Some 125 million shares will be sold. The capital raised will be spent on business expansion including services such as e-commerce, entertainment, and e-learning, said Mr Anant. Bangkok Post, 28. January 2004.

Guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Everything listed was useless garbage except for this: CS LoxInfo B4 provides access to all web sites with unlimited hour of usage at two price levels: 3,600 baht for 256/128 Kbps... While not cheap, it would mark the first significant drop in "real" ADSL in 3 years. I checked their web site and it doesn't list these packages though! It has 256/128 unlimited for 11,000 baht per month (the true cost of entry level ADSL in LOS). The other thing is I am very skeptical about the "B4" package fine print; hidden costs, bandwidth limits, peak hour usage, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted February 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Hi, I too figured it was inside Thailand only, but my friend (who told me) says that it would be international as well. Had hoped someone here might have the definitive answer, but guess not (the above article only mentiones Loxinfo / TA). Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beleive TA will be following suit in a few months. This is the year for broadband. FINALLY. they want 1 million uses this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
