vincent13 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I'm on TOT fibre which has been generally pretty good. However, over the last few days the connections to international servers have been terribly slow - 134kbps download speed to Australia on testmy.net a few minutes ago. TOT speedtest site of course shows "normal" speeds of about 55 Mbps down and 16 Mbps up. Anyone else experiencing issues with TOT or aware of a problem with the undersea cable?

KhunBENQ Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Just did a simple download test with testmynet to Sydney (I am on ToT fiber). Well, not great but not as catastrophic as yours: 4.3 Mbit/s with high variance (2.4 to 7.3). I says 41% slower than TH average. Yesterday I had some problems connecting to servers in Germany. Had to use a VPN to resolve. Two days before there was an outage of about 1.5 hours. Didn't happen in a long time. https://testmy.net/db/5uP6ABcit&framed=1&framed2=1&framed3=1 Just trying London, still waiting. Terribly slow. Yes there is an issue.

KhunBENQ Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Erratic. Now London in the 7 Mbit/s range, Sydney 3.3, both with very high variance. Who knows what's going on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent13 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Seems better just at the moment (I can stream without buffering). See if it lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfd101 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Having exactly the same problem over the last 3 days with TOT fibre. Currently 5.3 mbps [using testmy.net]. Hopeless. [But earlier today I was getting around 30-45 mbps.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vogie Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I am having trouble playing videos, including Youtube etc on my Samsung Galaxy 10.1, they just freeze. Have checked my download and upload speeds both normal 50+ mbs and 26 mbs. It's been like this for a couple of days now. But strangely enough Youtube works fine on my old ipad and also my set top box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunPer Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I've been on TOT for years with ADSL, and now fiber. International speeds has always (my about 15-years Thai experience) been up and down, i.e. some periods incredibly slow, even with time-out at certain destinations. It might be routers, gateway(s) out of Thailand, and even traffic problems abroad. A few days ago some destinations were incredible slow, and causing multiple time-outs, but back to more acceptable speed again yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey346 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 The Gov allocates each internet provider a specific amount of bandwidth outside of Thailand. Providers automatically cut back depending on traffic. That is why you will never get decent speeds to sites outside of Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuaBS Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 It's about the same as usual for websites. But in the last month or so uploading of t_rr_ts (udp) won't go , or badly. ToT squeezing uploads but not downloads ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent13 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Currently getting 16 Mbps down and 8 Mbps up to Australia using Express VPN. Good enough for my purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnonK Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I'm on TRUE with 50/20Mbps (Cable) and get 41Mbps down to Sydney on testmy.net, upload is just 4Mbps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnonK Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 If I ever get problems with speed, special download, I use VPN (CyberGhost) to solve that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent13 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Without the VPN I'm getting 25.7 Mbps down and 8.7 up to Sydney on testmy.net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem like the speed allocated for ThaiVisa normally is used up during local daytime, as it often time-out in evenings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
