Ipstar Speed

[richsilver]

I recently got ipstar here in Pattaya and by and large, I'm quite pleased. I signed up for a download speed of 512 Kbs, but I seem to be getting only 256.

When I do a speed test on the web, using various tests, they always come in at about 220 or so. And when I download files I usually get about 33 KBs (about 264).

Is there anybody who can give me some feedback on this so I can have some ammunition (or not) with the company?

BTW, while the service has gone down for brief periods, it does NOT seem to be affected by the rain.

Unfortunately we are depending on IPSTAR as there is no phone line yet connected. I also "upgraded" to the 512/126 but never reached the download speed promoted - unless when connecting directly to the IPSTAR server and test downloading there (Test Speed(User and PW: "demo").

Unless Mr. Taksin is getting his new satelite up there (which failed in September) we will also have to deal with continous breakdowns as the signal goes over various relais stations (satelites).

Don't exspect too much beeing changed until end of next year...

Please keep me posted on your ongoings..

Cheers, Axel
