Me Indy ..(think I've pointed that out already, yeah??)

Phils Pattaya figs do look saddening considering it's Premier.

^Devil, if you can stay awake ...try your online game between 1.30am and 9.30 ...and report back as to how its like.

The more I think about this ...I am inclined to feel that: YES, they are 'flicking the switch' at 9.30am to 'garbage setting' but I reckon for Indy users only. They could be doing this as a 'temporary fix' as they probably had a 'post-rush' of new users signing up for the new 3MB indy introduced beginning April, and others like me who were bumped up from 2MB to 3MB,which overloaded their existing infrastructure; a 'quick fix' but not long term solution. Furthermore, this 'overload' has not protected the Premier users completely and thus has had an impact on some but not others. Thus, these '2 weeks it fixed Maxnet answers' maybe true if they now realise they must update.

"It's just my opinion and not based on comp teccy stuff ..just plain logic"

Some other observations for the teccy's: I get 4 start IP's 112,114,117,222.

April 1st to early May, could only access Int. sites ok on 222 ...thus router restarts until I got lucky. Why was that? Then briefly, this condition changed to being 117 ...Mmm.

Early may to June 19th ... can use all Ip's but seemed to be better on 117 and 222, but no major probs day or night.

June 20th (My Maxexcrement D-day) to now: Well as you've read and the IP's 112,114,117, 222 don't appear to be any different and all apply to the 'flicking the switch' rule.

Right now (and I've restarted the router over 30 times) can only get 112 and it's hopeless. But this could be a 'positive sign' that an engineer/s are doing something right now ..Waiting with baited breath once again.

Oh well, just to keep San Francisco happy ...here's another smashing result not so long ago.

If I'm awake at 1.30am ..I'll try San Fran again and let's see what the 'ping' is. (if I'm awake)

Come on teccy's put yer cents worth in and anyone with some new Maxnet answer dates and excuses. YYY

^ Thx again Webfact and thanks for the assurance of the test that it is ok.

Lol pulled an all-nighter and played on my fave site in Vegas ... From around 1.40am: No disconnections, spot on connectivity, untill exactly 9.32 AM. No router restarts, no nothing ....aaahh the bliss of it.

I dunno, it just seems like 'someone' is flicking a switch @1.30am then again at 9.30am, giving us poor customers 8 hours of what the internet should be and then 16 hours of garbage.

I'm saying this as it is so strangely consistent with these times, time and time again. Can't just be coincidence that the 'traffic' suddenly picks up at 9.30am everyday even on a government holiday as today, can it???

So again, forget the fixes at mo' unless someone has a 'magic fix' for 2/3 of the day when we are all awake.

Please post here, if you have had similar to this ....would be nice to know that i'm not just ma..ma...ma...maaaaad !

Well, here we are at 1.30 Am plus, the magic cut off point of 'too many users on line'. I have made no changes to my comp, settings, IP address, or basically anything else you can think of.

Total connectivity and no probs ...super downloads, P2P across the world fine, facebook fine, google fine, hotmail fine, thaivisa fine, well EVERYTHING FINE .... just fine, fine, and urr fine.

Theory 1: too many subscribers to maxnet and thus 'off peak' is fine.

Theory 2: Somebody is flicking a switch at 1.30, but that would be conspiracy theory/paranoia.

Int. gateway broken? BS. BS, and some more BS.

Nope, Nope, Nope ... Use some logic here ...what does it all tell you you you ?

So, everybody, including myself, stop messing around with your comp. and accept that we are in the process of being 'shafted' and there is nothing you you you can do other than tell our beloved provider that you you you ain't gonnee pay da bill.

To put it in polite terms: Eff em !! that's as polite as I feel.

Non - peak time. Mmm ...well close to it anyhowz

San fran ...whoooah get on !!! Ooooh sexy ping and DL UL from around the world !!!

But there was me getting excited in my 'off peak' moment. Bye bye LA

But hey ..errr. washington is on the up err ..any good ???

Boom boom!! What a mixed bag ... compare this to two'ish hours ago ...and B4 you say it ..yes, i'm on the same IP address and have not done nothing to comp.

Come on you max people ..sort it please please, with sugar on top.... let's have those San Fran lastest 24/7 eh !!

^ Thx Webfact, your the man! I finally did the 'linequality' thing (have to sign up 1st to use so sry for delay). But WF and others, I'm sorry I'm no teccy and thus cannot interpret the data that well. Please look at my result on the following link and please anyone give your opinion on this.

http://www.dslreports.com/linequality/nil/2538986 (if yer canny click on it ..copy and paste ..sorry!)

It does say 'pass' so I reckon it's ok?? but a bit confused as to the '???' ones with 100% loss and a 'maxnet' losing packets as well.

Please fill in the blanks for me .... Thanks You You You.

Yup neverdie, not the end of the world for sure. Anyone out there tried the Hutch Sticks? 999 baht a month? Any good?? I'm limited on my options of alternate providers here TY.

Uur ..okay its 'peakish time' now ...wow wicked upload (as usual)

But Bangkok .... that looks good eh! (spot on stuff)

But hey ...let's go to London, bit better than San fran, but ...don't look too impressive, does it?

And quickly back to the U.S. on the East coast ...wicked upload (as usual)

Finally, let's go the other way to down under ...Mmm, bit like London

So, there you have it ...16 days ago U.S. same servers were 1.5-2MB down, .20- .28 up, ping 250-280. This was ok and useable, Mmm, now it's not. Am I looking in the wrong direction or am I missing something here teccy's??

I just wanna use the WWW please Maxnet ...any chance? LOL

Oh sry ..I must edit and put this in ..and the winner is (drum roll) Las Vegas ! My best result yet LOL

My brother in law is manager of internet services in the north, he told that the problem is that the company managing of TT&T is in the process of being removed from it's responsibilities while the major shareholder wants to take over management of TT&T. This has now become a political struggle as the managing company does not want to leave it's role. This is causing a lot of insecurity among staff and problems in their corporate structure. So untill these problems are resolved things will not improve.

^Oh dear ! My '2 weeks' , Andyman's 'farmgate broken' and Plumski's '9th July it fix good' is looking more and more like a fob off to stop us ringing da 1103.

Strangely enough, my bill payment is due on the 11th and normally recieve this around the 2nd of month ....No bill has come, but then also ... I didn't sign the so called 'new contract'. Mmm I fear I will 'disappear' and so be it LOL.

Yep as Webfact has pointed out and I'll second that: 'Do they really care? Nope'. But at the moment, why should they, if all the staff members' worries are focussed on whether they have a job tomorrow or not?

Maxexcrement is in such a mess at the moment ...but yes, you and me 'the customer' suffers for this. As a result, I fear this garbage service is going to go on much much longer than our anticipated 'fob off' timelines.

P.S. Neverdie: Nowhere near as bad as you, but my Internet is only truely useable between @1.30 Am and 9.30 AM ...Mmm usually I'm in bed along with everyone else ..Thai and Faalaaaang ! ...Neverdie- Refuse to pay, I have !

Good luck all and your 1103 calls. Anyone else out there with a future date/excuse ??

Wow ..Eleven thousand !! Neverdie. I thought I had it bad LOL. I've had up to 2300MS recently.

I can only make a casual observation as well (very casual as is not always the case). On some repeated tests to U.S. servers e.g. san fran, Las vegas, I have at times noticed a correlation between of the 'higher the ping, the slower the DL UL is'; that is, it has also been proportional if you were to plot it.

But the other day I also had some bizzare results of medium DL UL with a ping of 40MS to San Fran ! Mmm ..a ping quicker than down the road to BKK of 42-50MS ....Mmm ..... One for you teccy's out there.

TY the Maxnet rant guy, Triple You, not triple Tea.

I think all the previous posters are right Galowgala about the BLUE BOOK.

But as one poster recently indicated too: why don't you try going down to the 'Amphur', preferably with your lawyer, and try to get her name removed from the blue book as she no longer lives there. I don't quite know the in's and out's of this, but it's worth a try and distances her further from any monetary challenge she may be able to launch.

Won't take you long and the answer will be yes or no ..try it, and good luck.

This is part of the wall outside my property. I know from your post that you are not after stainless, and you could just as easily bung in some iron there. The brown blocks are cheap to buy at 23 baht a piece (in bulk of course) and fill in easily between the columns. I reckon this wall would be reasonable in cost and I think it's attractive (personally, but each to their own). Yes I know it needs a coat of paint now (10 years ago was last time) ...october project LOL.

P.S. karsten, you 'lich falaaang' LOL ...nice house mind !

As to Phils post above:

Try this link: http://www.thaiglobaltel.com/?p=5027 doesn't look like a rumour, also Bangkok Post 12th May (business sec.).

So the '2 weeks' could be when its all wrapped up in the hands of Jasmine.

Mmm, the plot thickens

LOL ...thx for your help Webfact ..your the man! Yup the 'two weeks' could be a fob off (I think they are sick of me ranting at them LOL)

Andyman: told 'int. gateway broken', Mmm someone must have dropped it, should be renamed 'int. rusty farmgate'. But hey, if that is the problem, the Maxnet answer, how is it I had no problems in the wee hours of the night (1.45-3.00 Am)??? Mmm.

Neverdie: Don't pay them, even if you think its cheap, we are all paying for a 'promised' 24/7 service which is not the case. I'm not and if they cut me off ..so be it ...I've had enough of the 'Maxexcrement experience'.

Good luck to all and your 1103 calls.

The land office moves oh so slowly. From the above post: I then take it that the land must already be Nor Sor Saam Kor, that is: an ariel photograph must be in hand to define the boundaries of the land. If this is not the case, then that is maybe why it is so drawn out.

A small example of Land office dealings: My friend had 2 Chanotes for two pieces of land adjacent to eachother. In order to get approval from the bank for a loan to build, the bank insisted that the land had 1 Chanote only.

Friend goes to land office to do this ....Yes sir, about 45 days ....or today for 5000 baht. He choose the latter option in order to get the bank's approval.

Yup money works with them and maybe you'll have to up the ante/ as Bojo said: band together.

Good luck with the LO.

Yes Webfact, I have also tried a 'system restore' back to 14th June (before latest round of probs) when it was good. This made no difference so undone this.

I've also tried last week switching off firewall (only for 30 mins thou as its a bit scary eh) and made no difference.

However, Webfact ...after watching the telly last night, I fired up the comp around 1.45 Am to 3.00 AM and was like lightening and downloading super quick etc.

The Engineers also checked my comp and router and plugged in their own comp and router here last Wednesday and they had the same results : No good too !

Right now, no good again.

So, It must just come down to traffic, oversubscription, or deliberate manipulation. I tend to feel though that their infrastructure is unable to cope with the amount of users, and thus 'will be fixed' ...they keep mumbling on about 'lines' and 'systems'.

Like I said before, they know they have a problem and "IN 2 WEEKS" it will be fixed, Mmm LOL LOL LOL

Just out of interest for Webfact: When the engineer did his 'teamviewer' remote thing last Sunday for an hour, most of his activity was punching in alternate DNS's ... may lead you to think therein lies the problem or they know that is the problem ..err or not. ??

I'm no teccy but I suppose I have learnt a bit this year through the need to ....waiting with bated breath once more.

Well, I have waited 9 or so hours too for a reply from my local branch manager to talk about the bill this month ...you guessed it ...no call back lol.

Also tried 'Webfacts' tip of dnsadvantage.com again for 3 hours tonight and no difference for me, but for others: try it as some say it has improved their lot. Change DNS to 156.154.70.1 and 156.154.71.1

P.S. Only 2 mins to log in to ThaiVisa and 3 page refreshers to add a reply. Mmm. Time to watch the telly and give up on this LOL.

Okay ... Yes a lot of users have encountered problems with Maxnet of late, whether they are indy or premier customers.

I have had numerous connectivity issues for 14 days (coincidentally since a local link went down 9.25 PM Sat 20th June). Slow loads inside and outside Thailand, cannot find page, line drops and disconnections etc.

I have had 3 engineer visits and one remote enginneer online (teamviewer), 9 X 1103 phone calls ...still the same.

Plumski in 'Maxnet DNS' thread (post 37) was told on 1st July that the internet would be fixed on 9th July.

I was told by a woman from the Phetchaburi branch (032 440013) at 12.46 today: "mii banhaa tuk tuk thii, ja gare banhaa ik song sapdaa"

^{_{"There is a problem everywhere and the internet will be fixed in 2 weeks."}}

So there's your answer, it seems we are all running around in circles of late and so there are probably no fixes that we can do ourselves if our beloved internet provider is buggered and knows it too.

My reply and should be yours too: I am refusing to pay them this month. Their service... is well... in a word 'excrement' .

Anybody else been told this or another 'future date' ?? LOL

"Dumbfalang: It's true that port 25 is blocked. I am able to use a couple of SMTP servers from the USA on my Indy account by using different port numbers. You just need to find out what port number your SMTP server supports and you're good "

Mmm, I'm Dummeereer ...I'll give this a go too as big probs to US at mo'. But any info how to do this ...thx if someone out there can give the teccy info for this.

Have tried lots, ty to webfact also as did try the dnsadvantage thing but alas didn't 'seem' to make much difference. I may try again thou as it's getting desperate. Even the Maxexcrement engineers say its 'no good' when they came to my house twice this week, but they ..the 'engineers' LOL still cant fix it.

I will put my faith in the Thaivisa users to fix this problem for me over the entire MaxdogexcrementNet organisation.

Thanks for any help for me and the numerous others who seem to be having a lorra probs at mo'.

Scfi: Thanks for the link webfact. I can't get to it at the moment, guess what: page not found

Me too ..5 attempts LOL ....AKA 'the Maxexcrement experience'

Khongniam's figs

and just for you "youyouyou" Frisco:

don´t tell me this is bad !!!

Yep that is 'greate' farang Khongniam (ping 276), but there it is in a nutshell: 'CONSISTENCY' !!!. We are both checking with the same speedtest site on the same ISP provider ... why the big swings from one hour/day/week/month to another?? Therein lies the problem.

Today, as the maxnet engineers were at my house ...San fran 2032 ping DL 130 KBPS UL 20 KBPS ...engineers said 'may dii loey' ...they say they're coming tomorrow to 'change the lines and exchange' ..whatever that implies.

Up to You You You.

Me too ..I am on Indy thou ...int. access was fine up untill 9 or 10 days ago and just nosedived since .... no access or access after repeated attempts of 'internet cannot find' blue page. Also some Thai websites too suffering the same fate ... all has slowed considerably .... glad to know its not just me me me.

You You You.

LOL ..so that's why they came round my house about a week ago with a new contract! They gave me one that I said my wife could read and then promptly threw it in the bin. Mmm maybe that's why my connection the last 9 days has been 'excrement' LOL.

August 9th (my year is over yeeeah) and I'm switching, I think LoL, but the engineers (and I use the term engineers loosly) are coming to my house again tomorrow ...waiting with baited breath once more LOL.

Welcome to the 'maxecrement experience'.

November 30th 1987, arrival 2.30 AM. Flying back from Australia to UK with 8 days in BKK (one of those old Garuda deals and oh sdo slow, 33 hrs Sydney to BKK via every airport in between LOL).

Yes, late to arrive ....tuk tuk journey, no idea where I was going .."Take me to a cheap hotel" I asked the man. Fun ride from Don Muang to the hotel which was the Rose hotel (think its no more) at the end of the Patpongs (little did I know lol), but I remember how muggy if felt too. Once there, Mmm beer ...ended up in a small Soi opposite (the north end?) of Patpong 2 (I think) in a tiny bar and got accosted by ladies/boys/and lady boys. Oh mann I just got so drunk and went to bed in the daylight. I felt like I was in disney land or something like that.

It was a surreal introduction to Thailand, but in reflection just damned good backpacker timing LOL.

Sum of that 8 days .... Hot, polluted (BKK), lots of nice smiling people, lovely food, and a great Kings 60th Birthday celebration.

dam_n, I wanna start all over again LOL.

San Fran today

2 minutes later to BKK

And just for Khongniam ...Dussledorf ...bit better figs but slower ping

Up to You you you.

Yep Khongniam ..It Greate !! for Thailand ...the issue is anything else ...err WWW ... the 1st 'W' means 'World' and doesn't stand for Thailand Khongniam.

As to Veaser, SNR figs are always good according to Interface page. No, I don't think it is the phone line per se as speedcheck to Bangkok is consistent (less than 50 miles) figures 95% of time 2.6 MB down 0.38 MB up and ping @45 MS. (and was so when I checked San Fran last night)

I'm not a computer expert but I would be inclined to believe that traffic is being manipulated at BKK going out int. or their infrastructure is inadequate for the amount of users subscribed to it.

To point out again ...one week it's fine and the next bad, then good, then bad. This has certainly been the case for several months now ... there is no consistency with MaxdogexcrementNet.

Yes phone calls, E-mails, engineers and replies ....still the problems persist ...about 7 weeks of contract left ....YEEEAH !

P.S. My Thai wife Khongniam think it greate too (most of time) but she uses Mthai for cartoons and other Thai webs, because she's Thai ...however, I think most Farangs want some webs in English and most of them are inter. Happy Thai's, Sad Farangs.

Is the heat off Mr. Hippo? Passport back??

I see the last poster (Phatcharanan) pointed to a 4 week time delay with the 'court case' and 'deportation' of an individual.

Danged, hope all is well Mr. Hippo .... Good luck and keep us all updated ... what's the status at mo'?

Cheers, You You You.
