It seems you can use the internet so long as you stay in Thailand. Downmloading of anything is strictly forbidden as TRUE might have to pay more for bandwidth of people were allowed to actually use the internet.

I downlaod stock market data from Yahoo. It stopped working on 25/10. If I use CSLoxinfo 56K it works (but it is not as simple as dumping TRUE for them) . Seems that TRUE hacve somehow blocked my ability to do this after 2 or more years - similar perhaps to the stunts they pull with bittorrent apparently.

There are periods of difficulty accessing high volume sites such as Hotmail, Google, Yahoo. I suspect this is because they run it through their invisible proxy to see if it can be fetched locally (yeah right, we all get exactly the same emails). I suspect they are trying to code WAAAAYYYYYY beyond their skill level, hence the problems.

An alternative explanation is theri DNS lookup is screwed up - they are known incompetents in this area.

Can anybody shed any light on whether this is incompetence or deliberate attempts to close off data downlaoding- and more importantly how I can get service restored/work around this.

This is a real possibility. I cannot understand why DNS is so consistently bad in Thailand (its' not just True). Try pointing your DNS at the servers provided by www.opendns.com (see website for the IPs).

All the blocking really messes up the DNS.

Hi Mokwit,

Could you please give an example of URL you can't access any more ?

Right now my Hotmail log in page, but more importantly the downlad site for Yahoo (DNS unknown)

Sorry, not see your message yesterday and was out today.

I just test and now all is ok for : http://downloads.yahoo.com/ and http://login.live.com/login.srf

I use True.
