No they don't Yes, they do. It's a state-owned firm that has total control of all International gateways. That should be obvious - i.e. that the government controls all international gateways. The other companies lease from CAT, or the government, if you wish. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/Corporate/30334156

The point was that a fast service will not improve your speed to international servers as it is being controlled by your ISP (3BB in your case). This is what I got just now from a 300/300 service: A bit lower than your upload, and higher on the download, but still insignificant compared to 300/300.

Because CAT invest heavily in international connections doesn't mean there are no other international gateways available. http://internet.nectec.or.th/document/pdf/210908080401.pdf

My point was that you claimed that the 6 Mbps upload to UK you registered was as good as it gets, because you were on CAT and CAT owns the international gateway. The fact that I get double that upload speed on 3BB to the very same server on the same speed test site, proofs that 3BB has it's own gateway.

But as you seem to be the expert probably, or most probably not, you can tell us all where mbs comes into the picture when we are talking about data transfer, At the same time you can also educate us all how many Mbps translates to 12 mbps. No need for more copy and paste from websites. Not sure where mbs comes into the picture. Could mean Megabits or Megabytes. But here we need the "ps" meaning "per second". That is the data transfer rate per second. The translation of Mbps to MBps is done by dividing by 8 as there are 8 bits to a byte. This is all roughly because it starts to get a lot more complicated when adding compression and caching. Have a great day

I concede I was wrong, as the information I was using was old. This is the part that might have explained it better: NBTC regulates the Internet gateway sector by licensing gateway operators of which the second group has had 13 licensees offering NIX and IIG services, raising the number of service providers in this field and cutting their operating costs by allowing their direct links to overseas, skipping a previous requirement to lease Internet gateways from the local monopoly, thus promoting competition and increasing options of linking to foreign networks, as follows:
