I am currently on Dial-Up which is very slow. The only internet that I know of is a private company here but they cant figure out why they're equipment is failing. It's been 3 months and my patience is running thin. Des anone know of any other alternatives? The only other choice I have is Wild Blue which is a bit of a rip off for the speeds.

Look into HughesNet. Better package than WildBlue.

That's if you can't get local ISP like DSL, cable or wireless.

'Course of you want dial-up there are many national ISPs that offer local numbers, NetZero is one and you can find more here: http://www.thelist.com/misc/usa/

slow internet.....gimme a brake......thailand

I am in Isan, Thailand, in a city of about 30,000, the only choice here is (so-called adsl)....no cable. They are using the old copper wires that were old 50 yrs ago.....they have no back-ups.....I know cuz they go down at least once a day, usually about 4 pm....often at any time.....never a dnld spd of above 150kb/s.....usually about 8kb/s. I need a few pointers and arguments I can use with the chamber of commerce, and questions I can use to show we need cable or sat or SOMEthing here.......I realize I am a farang (foreigner) here, but the locals just accept poor service, and I'd like some advice on what to hit them with.....we pay a good buck for poor service, and I'm thinking why have a new , fast cmptr....when it crawls ( if I'm lucky). I would appreciate any advice on this. Any where else in Thailand internet is quite fast......here, there are not too many tourists, and no Thais that care. Any ideas?
