"interesting" Result From Speedtest.net

[Priceless]

I am based in Chiang Mai (and on TOT ). I decided to try speeds and ping to Stockholm, Sweden, just to see how bad the international links really are. Here's the result:

Ping @ 16258 ms! Also, I'm on goldcyber, i.e. 2048/512 kbps, and still get 13744 kbps download speed!! The upload speed of 16 kbps seems more along with my actual experience

Obviously there's something wrong with speedtest.net. Probably the connection is so slow that the software can't handle it. Does anybody have similar experiences?

Priceless, I have TOT in the suburbs of CMai now, ADSL, nominally 1 megabyte. sppedtest.net just gave me 814/416 and a ping of 66 ms. Not sure I understand.

Not sure that I do, either. Maybe it's something local out here in the southwestern sticks

PS I just ran another test. Result pretty much same, same:

If you would like to test your ADSL connection locally (CM) to get an idea of the behavior of your connection you can use the one I setup on my CMU server.

Speedtest

My server is on a 1 Gbps Fiber connection on the backbone and 100 Mbps fiber link to Bangkok.

There appears to be something decidedly odd (read: not good) about TOT's international links:

Why 1710 kbps to Bangkok but only 301 kbps to Singapore, it's still a landline? Or 92 kbps to San Francisco, for that matter.

Thank you for the offer, Tywais. Things appear as I thought, nothing wrong with my connection, but TOT's international lines are not even a joke:

Yes TOT's international connection over the last week has been extremely poor, with dropped connections seemingly much more frequent.
