(add +4 hours to graph time, because the graphing server is in another timezone).

 

Today was probably the worst day for TOT, CAT and AIS. And probably it has to do with so many new people on the island right now.

As I'm speaking, TOT, CAT and AIS international speeds are incredibly slow (100-500 kilobits per connection per second). Info from 3 separate TOT connections, 1 AIS and 1 CAT.

 

3BB is the best as usual. Info from 2 separate 3BB lines.

 

So basically, if you're still deciding on what Fiber Provider to go for - choose 3BB. 

It has shown stable results throughout the year and the international speeds are much faster than other providers.

 

Other providers (from good to bad).

2nd place - TOT.

3rd place - AIS and CAT.

As a technical doughnut I cannot understand why I get the ol' "You have insufficient bandwidth to stream this programme" on my latest 3BB line yet the line it replaced less than a fortnight ago had no such problems streaming the same programme(s) on the same device.

1. What bandwidth did you have and how much now. 

2. Are you streaming from abroad. 

3. Do you use WiFi.

1. I haven't a clue, hence my 'technical doughnut' although my bill went up by over THB 100 p/m when the new line went in.

2. Yes & using a VPN as before &

3. Yes & have done for several years.

3. Try with ethernet cable. 

Normal WiFi transmission is max 54 mbits but normally around 20 mbits. 

If you get better speed with cable but like WiFi, you might consider upgrading your router.

Thanks PS, this isn't the offending computer. I do like the idea of a cable as the modem is in the same room as the computer in question and could well solve the problem :)

Are you on DSL or Fiber?

It's the latest fibre-optic as far as i'm aware.

What package are you on? Can you take a photo of your modem?

Thanks Ethaniel, I'm unable to take a photo right now but the following details might help from the box and receipt:

 

Modem: GPON AN5506-04DG 

 

Receipt: 3BB FTTx 100M/30M (KP)

 

I also note that my (wifi) printer no longer works from my kids PC (Homework!) but thankfully still works from my desktop. If I can't fix this (the manual points towards LAN) i'll ask a friend to drop by next week before I cock it up completely

Wow, that is really bad. 

What are you speedtesting from/to? In the graph i mean

My experience during 22 years Koh Samui: service TOT, 3BB, BAD, AIS good, speed: TOT some time days no connection, 3BB almost very slowly, AIS almost faster than mentioned on the contract.

You can't do speedtest from/to a single point and think that represents how good/bad the ISP is. I have far better experience with my AIS connection than my 3BB (I have both).

You can check http://slim.keff.org/speedtest/  . Just updated it so not much data at the moment. Runs every hour. Unforuntately no nice graphs yet.

Ok looking at my own speedtests AIS is crap right now :D

Sorry do totally not agree and 3BB is not the best based on all testing we have done with 3BB

 

True mobile

True online

3BB

AND depending on where you are TOT fiber can be better then 3BB

 

AIS we not know about.

 

3BB is aware of the test results we did as well jasmine and have till  no solution to solve it.

 

True also is aware of the test results and did made improvements still the mobile is faster and more stable

I had 3bb for quite a few years but switched to AIS fiber mainly because of the cable programing. I too could never get My wireless printer to connect to the 3bb router. With AIS it connected right away.

 

If someone can run a iperf3 on a server, I would be happy to add it to monitoring.

My favourite error message ever,  some 30 years ago. 

"error in sub iperf" ?

 

Sorry for the computer professional joke.
