Internet Businesses

Note: Beware of cheap Internet access. Slow connections are common. Some of "the best deals" which offer a lot of on-line time for a little bit of money do not work well. You may have a fast 56 kbps modem connection, but the Internet service provider (ISP) may be overloaded and the connection may seem slow, sometimes very slow. Other problems occur, too.

To date, my best experience has been with Internet Thailand, especially their "Gold" service. My second best experiences have been with Loxinfo, KSC and CS Internet. My experience with a few others has not been consistent -- sometimes good, sometimes poor.
