Fiber: Ezecom then Online
Wireless: Smart @Home if you have coverage, else Metfone home thingy
Backup: Tether an Android device using a normal SIM and a decent data plan like Smart StreamOn8
Ezecom is superb when it works - but Ezecom doesn't control roadworks, it became such a pain in 2011/12 that I gave up & went wireless. I use a combination of Smart @Home which I connect my tv to and general WiFi. Then I also have my laptops connected to an Android phone as above; Android you can set to not drop the connection like iPhone. I've used it for streaming for the TV also, works fine except peak traffic hours (7-9pm).

Re: Internet company that works best?
I had metfone fiber to my house in kep, free modem, free installation
paid 6 months in advance @$18/month and 1 month free + got 2 gigs/month mobile internet free and 2 free sim cards
20 mbs up an down which was plenty fast enough for streaming using android box, skype whatsapp video calls and downloading movies /shows
very very few had fiber to their homes in Kep as most use mobile internet, so check how many are on the same line where ur installing

Ezecom used to me great, then 2021 happened - everything is ruined. My office is using ezecom. Having outages atleast 2 times per month
Maybe SINET?

Re: Internet company that works best?
Have had ezecom for a few months now. Personally wouldnt recommend, they've been pretty shit. In speed and service
Used to have metfone and mekongnet before that. Both better but I was drawn in by the ridiculously cheap price. My fault I suppose
After the 12 months I signed up for I will probably move back to either mekongnet or metfone
Smart at home is no good for me as 4g a little slow where I live
Edit: I do think this is very dependent on where you live, so maybe ask neighbours and see if they're happy

Re: Internet company that works best?
The speed and stability depends on the area where you live. In most places Ezecom and Sinet are usually the best ones but they are also the most expensive ones. Many businesses, grade a office and condo buildings use these too.
But as you can see already from this thread, people have not been happy with those either sometimes. Best way to get good internet is to ask people in your neighbourhood what they are using. Or go nearby coffee shop and test their wifi and check what provider they are using. https://www.speedtest.net/ should be able to tell the ISP name.

My neighbors use Metfone. 60.000r per month. Pretty reliable. 3 days down in the last 6 months, but that might be because of late payment.
Re: Internet company that works best?
Thanks all for helpful tips ! Gonna sign up next week for one of the companies suggested
