My service was fine until last week (after the LNB on the dish was changed 6 weeks ago).

On Wednesday/Thursday signal strength was 73 and a high signal to noise ratio - then it dropped like a stone and sig. strentgh would not settle. Only turning off the consumer unit for 4 hours and then reconnecting allowed the service to reconnect.

I initially thought the problems were rain related but the same problems on a clear sunny morning disproved this theory!

One visit later from the Engineer, on Monday (2 days late albeit!) and I have a new Consumer Unit and an new IP address.

All is fine now and I have a sig strength of 77 - the highest I have yet seen.

This was the 4 rth call out in 14 Months.

In general the service is fine - but I think the kit can be a bit tempremental.

If you suspect a problem just get on the phone to the helpdesk.

Ok you have to let them run you through the switch off etc procedure and call back - but if you comply with this then they seem happy to arrange a call out.

I'm in Buriram province and the last engineer drove up direct from Bangkok so they are not shy to travel. I think that the support on the service has improved in the last 4 months.

Hi issan2,

hows your ipstar now?Mine been nearly unuseable this week with the same messages as yourself and no signal strength when I check my login status.Today Ive been on 2 hours without trouble.

Im reluctant to get the engineers down again as I have to pay for their ferries.Even though I make them come on the overnight cargo boats to Koh Tao-both ways- its still +1000baht.Any charge when they come to visit you?
