grahamhc Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 We pay for what we hope is good service when we get broadband. Tmax has upgraded me from 512 kbs to 1024 kbs with a loyality bonus making it about 1350 kbs or so as a good customer. But this week I can get NOWHERE faster than a tortoise. Instead of moaning about TMax and thoughts of "Upgrading" to a more expensve package, I though I would check my bandwidth to somewhere outside Thailand on a remote testing site. I used www.Speedtest.net as recommended in another post . It appears it is not Thailand bandwidth problems, but restriction getting overseas. I did several bandwidth test around 13:30 today (Saturday): TMax says I have 1.29mb and can "download" at 165 kbs www.Speedtest.net says speedcheck on BKK is 1339 download and 427 Upload www.Speedtest.net says speedcheck on LDN is 99 download and 30 Upload It appears it is not bandwidth problems within Thailand, but restriction getting overseas. Now is that due to congestion or due to an overload on the That Government's, or US NSA, monitoring system ? Or am I being "Throttled" as I am looking overseas at sites like Bangkokpost.com, Pattayamail.com, Thaivisa.com, or any other non Thai based web hosts serving the english speaking community?.

Guest Reimar Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 It's lack of international Bandwith! As long as the TOT and TRUE didn't upgrade, which means buy more Bandwith, the int. speed will be slow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vam-pire Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I’m afraid this situation is just normal , if you look at the continuous Daily postings from people who are so fed up with the poor quality of the internet service , we have to remember here in Thailand what you pay for and have been promised means absolutely nothing Customer service is as bad as it could get , guarantees and assurances are Just words to fob you off, pay your money and then they couldn't care less what a sad state of affairs ....
