KhunDave Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Apologies for the lack of technical know-how.... I've been finding that IP addresses which start with 112 and 117 often have significantly better speeds to/from the outside world, as opposed to 114 and 222. My question - is there any way to pre-select these IP addresses, or is it completely random which one you are assigned on connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get assigned an IP-address from a pool of addresses the ISP owns. Normally speeds should not differ, but network/bandwidth management is not really one of the strongest points of Thai ISP's! You could try to reboot your router a few times until you get an IP adress assigned you like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyevans Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I also am a non techie. I have the standard Maxnet Premier 2Mb/1Mb service. Could someone in the know advise me about the advantage or otherwise of a fixed ISP versus a dynamic ISP. I noticed that on the web for TTT/3BB on the premier service there are fixed ISP either 1 or 4 on offer for an increase in the monthly charge. What does the fixed ISP give in terms of speed and reliability over the dynamic or again is it a question of luck if you get any improvement. Would a fixed ISP be better at 2Mb/1MB than a dynamic at 3Mb/1Mb. Thanks in advance for any information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed IP adresses are usually used by people/corporations who need to have their local computer/network accessible over the internet. So that when people punch in their IP address always end up in the proper place. I you have a dynamic (i.e. always changing) IP address you would have to update the people with your current IP address. For home use one application might be a camera security system, with remote monitoring capability... Their are work arounds the dynamic IP address, but not always convenient. Dyndns etc...

ScubaBuddha Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) If my speeds are sluggish, I sometimes power cycle my router (which will give me a new IP address) and that seems to fix it. I'll have to test this 112/117 vs 114/222 theory. My IP usually starts with 58 it seems. Edited October 13, 2009 by Scubabuddha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
