jonesthepost Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 from time to time my IP address changes from 118 prefix to a 180 prefix which causes problems to my download speed to certain sites is there a way this can be sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 You could pay more money for a fixed IP...but that could bring "other problems" or keep reconnecting until you get a 118 address...yeah not a very good solution at all. why do you think 118 is better than 180 ?

johng Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Have you done a "tracert" to the effected server whilst using 118 and compared the results with one using 180 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Maybe some details would help to solve the mystery. 180 and 118 could be ToT? Or what provider/technology you have (ADSL, VDSL, fiber)? Your observations are comparable in terms of day of week, time of day? Where are the servers (country) you download from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a good idea. I am on ToT and if I do a traceroute to a German server I see this: (shortened) Quote 1 1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.1.1 2 * * * <timeout> 3 3 ms 2 ms 2 ms 203.113.40.93 4 14 ms 13 ms 14 ms 203.113.44.237 5 13 ms 14 ms 13 ms 203.113.37.165 6 13 ms 13 ms 28 ms 203.113.37.186 7 79 ms * 79 ms 122.155.230.61 8 75 ms 86 ms 75 ms 61.19.9.146 9 192 ms 196 ms 197 ms amsix.bb-c.nkf.ams.nl.... 10 194 ms 197 ms 197 ms ae-6.bb-c.act.fra.de..... No. 6 (at 13 ms) is obviously the last one in Thailand. Will hardly vary up to that. After that there might be significant differences in routing. The one above "looks good". 197 ms to Europe is quite OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on a 1.4.xxx.xxx address currently. And yes, I had some problems yesterday too and still have bad download rates from Germany (testmynet.com). But I doubt that it is related to the IP address. If you watch the forum for years you will remember "slow internet" messages again and again. I learned to be patient and hope for improvement. The big content (Google/youtube, Microsoft, Facebook) comes from regional sites, is fast and so most Thai people don't take notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Just started my VPN, connected to Singapore and retested the download from Germany. Significant improvement. 6.3 Mbit/s is not lightning fast but acceptable. Yesterday I had some results less than 1 Mbit/s. So I am afraid to say: ToT is throttling or fiddling on their international connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I'm on ToT ADSL 180.180.**.*** address don't know why it resolves to mail.tvmucho.com ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also that the usual tools say the server is located in Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
