Internet in Thailand
Internet in Thailand
By the rapid development of the Internet, it can with providers to develop their networks are not driving fast enough to quickly come glaring shortages. Lack of data transmission rates to surf the web then a torture so it is helpful to draw on recommendations from friends and acquaintances. The price is therefore not necessarily the primary criterion in the choice of provider. Pleasant is now possible from most Internet providers, hours, without sign a contract. So you can avoid testing or in case of problems quickly once. Wednesday, December 23, 2009
Welcome And Visitor Supplies
IInzwischen exists almost everywhere in Thailand the opportunity fast ADSL internet access to receive. In this case the customer an existing telephone line via a special switch (splitter) out. This switch directs the one hand, traffic to the PC, on the other hand, the telephone traffic the telephone. Telephone and data work independently of each other. So while surfing the Internet, problems simultaneously a phone call or a fax transmission. Because the data connection is not about the technology of the telephone network, no connection charges drop of a phone call, as usual with an analogue modem. The line length of the telephone line has a big influence on the possible data rate. The maximum line length for ADSL operation was estimated at about 5.5 km. In remote areas, this restriction will make use of an ADSL sometimes impossible. With increasing distance from the telephone exchange takes the possible data transfer rate continuously. Internet providers often offer different tariffs with the same transmission rates at which differ apparently only in the price. The difference lies mostly in the so-called Contention Ratio. This technical term expresses how much load the provider of ADSL technology by simultaneous multiple use. So, for example a content ratio of 50, that 50 customers have to share the bandwidth. At peak times, they will lead quickly to bottlenecks, leading to an agonizingly slow page construction.
Content Ratio 10 = excellent to good to Content Ratio Content Ratio 30 = 50 = fair to poor (Subject to demand) is
Unfortunately, this value listed in the brochures hardly anywhere. It would probably just too daunting for the customer. On Demand CS Loxinfo has informed me the values for its ADSL tariffs (Booth 17 July 2005):
Basic DSL 256/128 for 990 Baht = Content Ratio 50
DSL 256/128 Advance for 1500 Baht = Content Ratio 30 DSL Pro 256/128 for 4500 are 10 Baht = Content Ratio Business guests are special rates with a content ratio of 1, although these are accordingly expensive ..

you there with the providers To examine whether their ADSL connection area is technically possible.
The Thai CAT also offers a phone independent of an ADSL connection with the name "Hi Net Broadband Internet". The data rate is estimated at up to 2 / 1 Mbps. In the international Internet traffic, this rate will continue to undermine. In areas where the existing telephone companies have range problems in setting up ADSL connections, it can offer the CAT, however, are often very helpful, since the CAT, the lines of their own exchanges provides. With any luck, this is then closer.

ISDN in Thailand
is In the city of many larger cities now have the opportunity to receive ISDN lines. With ISDN it is a special telephone line, the special telephone equipment and telephone equipment needed. Each ISDN line has 2 B channels that can be used simultaneously. Here, for example, one channel for telephone operation and the other channel is used simultaneously for data operation. Likewise, even twice a phone, or even twice a traffic possible. The data transfer rate of 64 kbit faster than a modem connection. Compared to the possible speed ADSL is still very modest. In addition, the technical requirements more expensive than ADSL. For companies that want to develop an ISDN PBX, ISDN in many areas, however, very useful. Possible extension to the terminal devices, etc. The private man, however, ADSL is expected to be preferred.
satellite Internet IPSTAR
Outside the urban areas is almost nowhere ADSL possible. Whom the modem connection is too slow, the switch has the option to the satellite Internet service ipStar. This service uses satellite links for both incoming and outgoing traffic. So it's no extra phone line needed. Pleasant, is that no dial-in is no longer necessary. It is thus 24 hours online, the Internet can therefore use any time soon.
I myself used ipStar between July 2004 and September 2005. was after applying for the service a week later to install the satellite antenna and ipStar box. It quickly became apparent that a permanent and reliable data rate seemed to be not just the strength of this service. The surfing was unfortunately subjective not faster than the modem. In contrast, downloads and uploads have an extreme difference was noticeable. Now and then I had short faults of a few minutes. For my online habits, this was not so tragic, I was able to continue my activities at a later date. People on the other hand, the online trading in the stock market, certainly more likely to have problems. After all, it was compared to the usual modem connection already a step forward. I am surprised that the ipStar box was very warm. For a tropical, hot country like Thailand, I could not imagine that this long without any negative consequences. As I feared, a few months later, a total failure of ipStar box. After an exchange ipStar functioned as usual. The Hotline staff was very friendly, but hesitated a long time until they finally make the exchange but did. In August 2005, the ipStar box also identified one more time in your service. The hotline was unfortunately not this time to adjust Moving weiterzuhelfen me. When, after multiple email and phone communication was no improvement in view, I was infuriated after three weeks and quit. In summary, I can say to me that the idea of an internet connection via satellite is convincing, but the implementation, at least in my case, the lack of effort by staff has failed. The fact that my internet connection within three weeks was not repaired, I think an inexcusable maladministration.

wireless broadband connection GPRS There is now also possible to surf the Internet, if no telephone line is available. This mobile phone technology in the GPRS mode is used. GPRS involves the construction of several compounds simultaneously, a relatively high data transfer rate. According to the provider of this technology is almost three times as fast as its a normal modem (up to 153 kbps). In Germany, carried out experiments in practice have shown a value of 60-70 kbps. Of hardware, a GPRS modem or mobile phone with GPRS capability is needed. Most newer phones (from about 5,000 baht) have mastered GPRS. To connect to the laptop or PC IrDA (infrared port), Bluetooth or a data cable. In my personal experience, one should only original data cable of the mobile phone manufacturer to use. I also after several days of experimenting with a data cable of a third party without success. The original cable solved the problem within minutes.
In my occasional travels, I use the internet with my laptop using GPRS on my Nokia phone. My One2call rate did not even have to be upgraded in any way. The Internet minutes will cost me at this rate 1 Baht / minute. Since I already during such trips only sporadically use the Internet to answer my emails, I did without special cheaper tariffs so far.

Wireless broadband EDGE
Enhanced GPRS variant with a theoretical link rate of 384 kbps. In practice, values are achieved from 150-200 kbps. EDGE is an effective interim solution to the installation of 3G. Of hardware, a GPRS / EDGE modem or mobile phone with EDGE capability is needed. Many newer phones have mastered EDGE. To connect to the laptop or PC IrDA (infrared port), Bluetooth or a data cable. In my personal experience, one should only use original data cable of the mobile phone manufacturer. Third-party data cables often cause problems, unfortunately.

WiFi hot spots
Modern notebooks are usually integrated components in order to use the internet in wireless networking. It can of course also standard desktop PC's easily converted subsequently.

A solution similar to the WiFi hot spots, but with a much more range (max. 50 km). In computer magazines, it was reported that the computer chip giant Intel in collaboration with the provinces of Nakhon Ratchasima in True, Chiang Mai and Roi Et planning experimental setups of this technique. Speculation about a real-operation should therefore be premature at present.
cable TV network
was finally recognized by Thai TV cable network providers, that its very good infrastructure for the provision of Internet connections is. Thus, since mid-2007 signed by Sophon Cable Pattaya for such offer. Banglamung Cable has even taken the first Internet connections in operation. A splitter splits the TV cable between the TV and the so-called Lan Adapter Cable. This adapter then allows the PC to communicate with the Internet.
