Before ordering service, confirm that the provider serves the exact unit, the owner and building permit the proposed cable route, and the written offer identifies the access technology, equipment, fees, minimum term, billing and cancellation rules. At handover, record serial numbers and test the wired and Wi-Fi connection under stated conditions.
Which provider and service are actually being ordered?
- the legal company named in the contract and invoice;
- the exact service address and unit;
- the access technology available at the property;
- the plan, speed description and included services;
- the official sales, installation and support channels.
Verify the provider's identity and the final contract rather than relying only on a building poster, reseller message or verbal promotion.
Who must approve access and installation?
- the property owner or authorized landlord;
- the condominium juristic office or community management;
- security or technician-registration staff;
- any party controlling risers, poles, ducts or shared equipment rooms.
Confirm working hours, drilling restrictions, lift or loading access, cable routes and restoration duties. The broader Thai condo living guide explains why building procedures and the private lease must be read together.
What should the installation scope show?
- entry point and route to the unit;
- new or existing fibre, copper or other building cabling;
- wall, ceiling, cabinet or façade work;
- power outlets and equipment mounting locations;
- who repairs penetrations, paint or common-property damage;
- what work is excluded or separately charged.
Photograph the route before and after installation and require approval before a technician changes the agreed path or performs extra property work.
Which equipment should be recorded?
- optical network terminal, modem or gateway;
- router, mesh units and power supplies;
- set-top boxes, telephone adapters or bundled devices;
- model and serial numbers;
- whether each item is purchased, rented or loaned;
- replacement and return charges.
How should performance be tested at handover?
- Confirm the service is activated on the correct account.
- Test a wired connection where the supplied equipment permits it.
- Test Wi-Fi in the rooms that matter for normal use.
- Record the device, connection method, date and test conditions.
- Check video calls, streaming or work systems important to the occupant.
- Record any dead zones or follow-up work before signing acceptance.
An advertised maximum is not a guarantee for every device or room. Wired access, router placement, building materials and local interference can materially affect the observed result.
Which contract and billing terms should be isolated?
- installation and activation charges;
- monthly service and tax;
- promotion period and later price;
- minimum term and early-cancellation consequences;
- equipment deposit, rental and non-return charges;
- move, suspension and final-bill procedure.
Keep the signed offer, full terms, installation order and first bill together so each charge can be traced to a written agreement.
How should account and privacy controls be set?
- use the correct account-holder identity and contact details;
- change default router and application credentials;
- limit access to account documents and personal identifiers;
- record authorized users and billing contacts;
- return or erase provider equipment according to the contract;
- remove former occupants from apps, Wi-Fi and support accounts.
How should outages or service disputes be documented?
- Record the date, time, account and affected services.
- Check power, equipment indicators and building-wide conditions safely.
- Contact the provider through an official support channel.
- Keep ticket numbers, messages and technician findings.
- Repeat tests under comparable conditions after repair.
- Escalate unresolved billing or service issues through the applicable process.
What should happen at move-out or account closure?
- confirm the final service date and billing cutoff;
- return loaned equipment and obtain a receipt;
- record serial numbers and equipment condition;
- settle or dispute the final invoice in writing;
- remove payment methods and authorized users;
- confirm whether the physical line remains for the next occupant.

Approve the route and contract before installation.
Make the property access, equipment ownership, complete fees and handover test part of the written order instead of resolving them after drilling begins.
Find relocation and property supportFrequently asked questions
Should a tenant order internet before receiving landlord or building approval?
No. Confirm the owner, juristic office or community procedure first, especially when installation requires drilling, shared risers, façade access, technician registration or equipment in common property.
Does an advertised maximum speed guarantee the speed inside the unit?
No. The delivered service can depend on the access technology, building cabling, router, Wi-Fi conditions, device capability, congestion and contract terms. Test the installed connection and record the conditions.
Who owns the router or optical network equipment?
The contract and handover record should identify which equipment is rented, loaned or purchased, its serial numbers, replacement cost and return procedure.
Can the provider charge an installation or early-cancellation fee?
Charges depend on the written offer and contract. Obtain the complete fee schedule, minimum-term conditions, promotion clawbacks, equipment-return duties and cancellation procedure before accepting service.
What should be done when service performance is disputed?
Record the account, dates, outages and repeatable test conditions, contact the provider through its official support channel, preserve reference numbers and escalate through the applicable consumer or telecommunications process when unresolved.
