monkfish Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Eh! What's the survey for? Internet? Stopped on page 2 cos the questions have got nothing to do with Internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkstoney Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Why all the extraneous information requested? What does my age have to do with the quality of my internet service? Skipped it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkstoney Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) was this anInternet survey? NO Trawling for customers ? YES Yeah, it reminds me of the kids who filled out birthday party info sheets for free gifts from Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour in California and received Selective Service notices for the fictitious names they had given.

Ponbkk Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) I thank TV for the list of Thailand internet suppliers but cancelled the survey mid-way (?) when I found it to be a bit long and not too specific to internet. I will use the list to again research internet service possibilities but I think I am stuck with Tru-ly awful ADSL which was beyond pathetic in early 2009, did get better, but I come to expect that it will again degrade at any time. I also CANNOT upload to YouTube from Thailand and often have miserable success with downloads from sites like camera makers (dig software support). Hope that where you are downloading from supports resumes. FTP upload is problematic as well. At it's best torrents are useless in Thailand. I've been back in the west one whole month and have spent > $100.00 on blank DVDs and other things and that is money that is NOT spent at Thai suppliers.

JacknDanny Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I have TOT and it's supposed to be 3MB. Dropped five times this morning already. Living in the last century in California and having T1 uninterrupted speed in my offices and home kind of jaded me as to internet capability. I realize I now live in the jungle and have lowered my expectations considerably. I even get a slight smile on my face when I start up and have any connection at all. Seriously, do we want these same people who are giving us substandard third world internet service to go online with nuclear power. Call the hotline to asked what all the sirens from the facility are about. "No have"; "Sorry sorry"; "Cannot tell you without permission from manager", "Preeze call later"; "Do you want new promotion?"; "Everything glowing without power is part of Government plan to give free light to poor". You have made me feel so much better. I thought it was only my TOT line. Totally useless, they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomasjojo Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 All adsl / broadband business in thailans need a makeover, restructuring or development. They also have to do something serious about the oversea connection, and they better hurry. All the west racing away from this cartoonish development of thai broadband, Europe is soon to spread out fiber across the main households, already digged it down in all new buildings etc, thailand appears as a development country. Years on years behind. ... In the same time, they should do something about the foreigners possibility to own the land they build their hous upon. But thats another story.

Brgds Thomas J _____________________________ Thailand lacks the infrastructure to achieve that anytime soon. Without a proper infrastructure the dream of a "high-speed" access will continue. I trust you know that very well. No need to rant. You can not compare Europe with Thailand. Even in Europe you have a lot of issues with broadband.

Garry Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 All do respect George but this is not a survey for internet connections is it ?About 7 out of 32 questions are somehow internet related and rest is pure details of your situation. So if you want to survey Thaivisa users on their ages, preferences, mode of transport, annual income etc details to help with insurance, visa services and other sales why not just say so and i believe people will answer more honestly myself included. TV internet connections and sms services are better promoted here on the forum as well. + 1 x 200%, I scrubbed doing the survey when it veered hugely off the original intent.

Korea......more like China (and probably has to do with govt. attempts to censor everything......slows the entire system down). Just a guess..........

strawberry Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Deffinately not.I'm using TOT with the ipstar sattelite costs me 1600 baht. There is no land line here so I don't have an option, the service has taken anything up to 10 days and only come if I threaten to throw it out. The techies are really agressive and disrepective. I've tried using blue tooth but its incredibly slow. I'm totally pist with this lot. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henryalleman Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) I signed up for the 8MB and true move gold package, very satisfied, I have indeed a real 8MB download speed even at peak moments its never slower than 6 MB and their service line is excellent. I Live in a condo in Nonthaburi ( Muang Thong Thani, lakeview) Of course its lower than the 15MB from back home; what only give a problem when I like to watch live-stream news programs from back home at peak times, can't play it in full screen. I guess its all depends what you are willing to pay and what's available at the location where you live, like in my condo Maxnet is not available.
