I have 150 television channels, many of which are in HD, and one free box is given for one TV location within the home. The internet is fiber optic in my village, and I get 15 megabytes of download and 5 megabytes of upload. The entire package is only 590 per month, and if one pays for 6 months in advance then a free month of service is given. That brings the price down to only 506 Baht per month for 7 months of service. For new users the installation is free, but there is a small deposit on the modem. There is NO contract, so the service is month to month unless you take advantage of the 6 month promotion. I have used their services for nearly 6 years and am totally satisfied. During those years I can count on one hand the number of interruptions in service that I have had, and once a phone call was made the problem was corrected right away. For me the 15/5 internet speed is lightning fast and I can't see why anyone would need anything faster than that, so why pay for it.

The line-up of sports and international stations is superb.

The main office number is 042 344 444

I haven't taken the time to peruse these sites to see if a channel line-up is available online, but you can pick up a brochure with that information at their main office not far from Central Plaza. I am attaching a location map here, and if you will double left click on the image it will enlarge for you. The store is indicated by the red dots. The link directly below is a street view of the shop off Google Maps:

Thanks for that! I am not a television watcher but this may be suitable for Mrs Tam. Since I will get my broadband from 3BB, I hope Homecable have a television-only option with 3 separate connections at the house that's similar to the 1800 baht/6 months service we had from TMN Cable down Pattaya way.

I have Udon Cable. It is dismissal for English language, but the wife and daughter love it. Four drops in the house and around 2000 baht per year. For me, I get all my English language media content via my internet feed.

That they do Tam, at about the same price you were paying in Patts. They come to your house and collect each month, and you can pay 3 months at a time and get a discount. Installation for 3 separate connections is free, then pay the modem deposit. However, better check with them first to make sure things haven't changed.
Colossians 2:8-10...See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ. For in HIM dwells all the fullness of the GODHEAD bodily; and you are complete in HIM, who is the head of all principality and power.
