Cost of laying Fiber per mile in Thailand

[frostfire 1,279]

I dont suppose there is anyone out there that happens to know the median price per mile for laying Fiber in Thailand?

 

Hypothetically here... If I wanted to pay to have a fiber path from my house to the nearest Class 1 pipe, anyone have any clue of the costs?

 

In America the median is 75k per mile, and it can be anywhere from 3500 per mile (if you own the land and its a strait run) to upward of 3 million per mile for downtown new york.

 

Currently I am in the middle of the city, but am looking to build a house a bit out from the city... probably south of Pattaya somewhere... and will need a good internet connection, no matter the cost... but need to have a good idea of what that cost will be when I go looking for land. Again, this is all hypothetical at the moment, but am curious... so I thru it out there :)

 

 

Frosty (and yes, I already have emails out to the major ISPs, but they are all idiots... need a address before they can give a median quote).

They're probably wondering what a mile is, never mind a class 1 pipe.

No worries that won't stop CheshireTom from replying especially when he's clueless. If cost isn't a consideration what about a satellite hook up with a company based in BKK or S'pore?

Commercially available Sat uplinks are way too slow... and the type that would handle the speed I want would be way too expensive, assuming I could even get access to them. To be honest, I dont know all that much about wide stream sat bands (I know the technology, not the market).

 

I do know that the US Military uses such things... I read once they have a 333mb/s sat uplink supporting the war in Iraq, but I am sure that damn thing is costing a good percentage of our funding for that stupid enterprise.

 

The problem with Sat communications is the small delay in transmission... your response time would be ok for development work, say... or internet browsing... but if your a gamer, the 1000+ ping times would just SUCK. heh.

The only serious fibre has been laid by oil companies, especially in the Northeast - and they don't give costs easily. The CAT Telecom has put out a couple of contracts which didn't come to much, but they're so corrupt it would be difficult to judge costs according to their contract.

 

2.15 billion for 9,000 kilometres last month.

On the other hand, I can give you a fairly good cost estimate for cost of laying pipe, per inch, in Pattaya.

Frosty, will you adopt me? You obviously have more money than you know what to do with.
