(May 23, 2016) AIS, underlining its leadership in digital network quality and service provision in Thailand, is taking broadband internet to a new level. Today, it introduces “Dorm Net by AIS Fibre”, a new business model of pre-paid high-speed broadband internet. The first of its kind in Thailand, the service is designed specifically to meet the lifestyle needs of students staying in dormitories near their campuses.

The distinctive strength of the service is its full-capacity high speed at affordable prices starting from 15/5 Mbps for only 500 baht per 30 days. As well, cash top-ups can be made via every One-2-Call! channel. Such easy access to the internet, a window to information and self-learning, is a tremendous benefit for students and young people.

AIS today also affirms that its AIS Fibre broadband internet service is on schedule to cover all of Bangkok and 24 other provinces by the end of 2016. Since its launch in April 2015, AIS Fibre has been expanding its coverage areas at a record pace. As the first and only provider of 100% fibre-optic technology in Thailand, AIS Fibre continues to invest to ensure the best technology to its customers, while creating a digital infrastructure featuring high-quality signal transmission with stability and maximum capacity.

Mr. Saran Phaloprakarn, Senior Vice President - Fixed Broadband Business Management of Advanced Info Service PCL., said: “The introduction of AIS Fibre in April 2015 gave us the opportunity to study and deeply understand the needs of broadband internet users. The lifestyles and living arrangements of each customer group are different, and existing broadband services may not quite respond to the needs of each one. For example, students staying in dormitories near their campuses are not permanent tenants: some return home during school breaks while some may have to move to other places.”

“Accordingly, AIS has introduced its innovative Dorm Net service offering pre-paid high-speed broadband internet, the first of its kind in Thailand. Designed specifically to help students in dormitories access the internet conveniently, it represents great value for money.”

Customers can choose pay-per-use high-speed internet services at the most attractive cost-saving rates in the market, starting from 15/5 Mbps for only 500 baht per 30 days.

Every package comes with free! installation and equipment, with no down-payment or annual contract required. Customers can top up cash in amounts based on their real usage. Application is easy and cash top-ups can be made through every One-2-Call! channel. In addition, customers can enjoy a one-day free trial to ensure they are receiving a full-capacity, high-speed signal.

The 100% fibre-optic internet covers all each individual room with full-capacity high speed. Users don’t have to share bandwidth with adjacent rooms. Apart from creating a new experience for users, the service can help students save money while enjoying the best quality high-speed internet network.

“AIS Fibre Dorm Net is now available in 20 dormitories with a total of 4,704 units near universities in Bangkok and surrounding areas including Rangsit, Salaya, Ngam Wong Wan, etc. We plan to expand the service to cover 900 buildings by the end of 2016,” said Mr. Saran.

“The main objective of Dorm Net is to give students and young people better internet access so they can navigate the digital world full of information beneficial to their studies. As well, it creates a business opportunity for our partners, the dorm owners, who can upgrade their properties to digital dormitories with high-speed internet infrastructure in individual rooms. This will appeal to young tenants’ desire to be connected at all times.”

Customers interested in AIS Fibre’s pre-paid service can call 1185 for more information.

Discussing the AIS Fibre working plan for 2016, Mr. Saran said: “We aim to expand our network to cover every area of Bangkok, inner and outer parts alike. As well, our network will cover Bangkok’s surrounding provinces and 24 others across the country by the end of 2016 as planned.

“In terms of our customer base, we plan to increase the total to around 400,000, with an emphasis on quality in every aspect of our service with the best 100% fibre-optic technology. Customers can be assured of AIS’s high-standard after-sales service and affordable prices, which are the best value in the market. AIS Fibre is also the only provider offering free installation and free equipment in addition to a ‘no down payment’ promotion for every package. As well, we offer a 10% discount to current AIS customers.”
