Applying for a new landline number (and ADSL) is painful and lengthy process. You need around 1 week to "verify" the channel and another 1 week for the signal. The only other access seems to be connecting via GPRS/EDGE (since there is no 3G network in Thailand yet).
The cheapest GPRS package is from True Move. It's 250 baht/month with unlimited access (compared with 999 from AIS and 900 from DTAC). The signal quality is not so good (sometimes inaccessible) but it's the most affordable solution anyway. I can't afford 900 baht a month jsut for mobile internet access.
