Looks like the ping is from true or 3bb "hidden" proxy in bkk. Impossible ping times for any connection over that distance other than local servers.

As I said above there is always an issue with speedtest.net - as shown with their ping tests

Is there any simple way to fix this? My vista laptop is now excruciatingly slow. Reinstalling everything is painful.

CCleaner has been around for years and solves these issues. A must for all windows users. You can download it here

Sure wish I could get your speeds. Tonight my TOT 4Mb package is pulling down about one-twentieth of what you are getting to Sydney. For me, many of the international website have been very slow for the last few days...I expect TOT servers are overloaded by current events.

if what you are after is not time critical then do your surfing in Thai off peak hours, makes a huge difference here

A ping this faster to Australia just don't seem possible...maybe 3BB has figured out how to exceed the speed of light...then again, maybe Speedtest is just giving an inaccurate/false reading.

I think speedtest.net always has issues with its ping times

works fine here.

Here too

PS: What media group is TAN part of?

http://tannetwork.tv/tan/ ASTV - contary to many posts on here there are many Thai networks on many satellites other than Truvisions.

The TAN Network on the NSS 6 satellite has all the news of the red shirts in English as normal.

We do not use BBC 4 but we use the BBC FiveLive feeds (F1 Podcasts) on our web site here and it is working perfectly.

Stanley Cup matches ...

DTSV have started today, on screen TV adverts saying the C Band service will cease on 31st MAY 2010.

Now that is interesting. I am getting DSTV in China but not using a smart card and I dont have a monthly subscription, just a one off payment and I have seen no such adverts on screen here, I wonder if its your supplier who is inserting the messages

It was an advert from DSTV on DSTV SS5 during the F1 practise, so yes as DSTV is my provider it was done by them not by someone else. I have also seen it on the Universal channel today.

Nothing wrong with the links, but certainly some of the ISP's

True right now is one of the best to the rest of the world, as this example below shows.

PS: and a biggy, you must ensure your VPN provider has the UPlink bandwidth too (over 4mbs), else it is all a moot point.

Pacnet http://th.pacnet.com/contact-us/ is hard to go past. We used them for a few years but with ISDN rather than leased lines to our offices in the Richmond Towers.

Looks like only available in the UK, at least that is the message.

Please re-read what the OP posted. Looks like the link to London today is like a whores drawes ..

Hey , what is pas 8 satellite?

I think astro also hv golf channels right?

PAS 8 or Panamasat 8 is the very old name for Intelsat 8 or IS8 at 166 east.

Yes both Astro and True Visions carry this channel.

BBC iPlayer

True 16mb no buffereing as long as the stream is over 4mbs

Have you had recent experience of rejection if the HSBC Bank Letter is not dated the same day as your Application?

I ask because it's a long, long way from my home to the Bank and then to go to Chaeng Wattana Office.

Been the same for the last two years with HSBC accounts, and while I was there this month they were sending others away as their letters were all dated yesterday.

DTSV have started today, on screen TV adverts saying the C Band service will cease on 31st MAY 2010.

go to www.livetv4ever.com 150baht a month SS 1-7 plus others HD quality

Until it goes ..

Please note that the HSBC does not have Bank Books. One can only present copies of 3 months Bank Statements plus a Bank Letter confirming the current balance. I believe the Bank Letter must not be more than 7 days old.

It must be dated the same day as your visit to immigration.

This is important or they will send you away. Also take 4 months of HSBC statements to be safe as they want to see a full months statement not the part month that HSBC sometimes provides.

I use gmail via the iGoogle desktop and it works perfect and not had any of the issues mentioned above. Open this link in your browser and see how you get on http://www.google.com/ig Just use your gmail account details to login.

Hope it helps.

Worked first time. Thanks

Question. Channel 111 is Sports HD - should i be able to get this through a dreambox, or would i need a special box from true ?

True ? We are talking DSTV in this thread, but to answer your question no, as True have paired their card to their set top box for HD and a matter of time before they do the rest.

Just done a rescan, found 12 new channels, and 4 new radio, now everything is working again

did not change any frequencies

Only the symbolic rate changed, so that is why you do not change the frequency.

As said above, they are still all there DSTV just changed it settings yesterday .. and there is how to get them all back on this link

I just got this (the Google Thai to English translation)
