They can't calculate distance to Bangkok first test is 300 mi and the second test is 50 mi. :)

this is normal, egde cdma everyone shares the same ip located in bangkok.

Despite all the whining expats here, internet in Thailand isn't really all that bad. And it's improving every year too. They are adding international lines and domestic bandwidth all the time.

Nikster is right.. actually, thai net speeds are quite decent really - especially considering it's still a 'developing country'. The infrastructure for accessing internal Thai domains is pretty decent. The main bottlenecks tend to be the international pipelines.

They way the drive there too makes this place look safe and normal, very dusty there too, Bangkok Air looks clean compared to there, but the beer Laos makes you forget all of those problems very quickly.

Heres some of that good beer Lao too.

Glad you put in the qualifying phrase of "especially considering it's still a developing country." But as long as Thai government telecom agencies such as CAT and TOT continue to have so much control over telecommunications, concessionaire agreements, etc.; major telecommunications improvements "for the country as a whole/all areas of the country" will be slow in coming and definitely third world. Just too much government control/ownership of the country's telecommunications.

You mean like the impressive 9mbit/s to Bangkok and <100kbit/s to anywhere outside thailand that TOT provides today? My impression of TOT is the same as last year, and the year before that and so on and so on. Slow. Unreliable.

"TOT" is worst of the worst ISP in thailand.

Why not change your ISP?

im using "true" and always get 90% - 95% of max speed outside thailand.

Package 8Mbps - 1199 baht
