April 27, 201016 yr My TOT connection only works for Thai websites (such as manager.co.th). Anything outside is not working (ie google.com, facebook.com, hotmail.com) all down. The only way i can access this site, or any other site outside of Thailand is by connecting through a Thai proxy server. Called tech support they didn't seem to be aware of any major issues...
April 27, 201016 yr Author BTW not a DNS server issue, as i was using OpenDNS, now switching back to the default TOT DNS, and i can't even connect to overseas IP address directly.
April 27, 201016 yr Author Go figure, as i wrote this post then it started working again. It was out since yesterday afternoon. Strange. Admin can close this thread.
April 27, 201016 yr ToT 4mb/s running normally in my little town in Issan. That is to say, it's up and running, but very, very slow. No problems contacting out-of-country sites. I use gmail, works fine.
April 27, 201016 yr i had the same problem at home this morning. thought it might be deliberate as i live in the red shirt zone. at my office now on sathorn (also tot) but all working fine Edited April 27, 201016 yr by wordchild
April 27, 201016 yr Author i had the same problem at home this morning. thought it might be deliberate as i live in the red shirt zone. at my office now on sathorn (also tot) but all working fine That's what i was concerned about too. My wife suggested something about wanting to block a Taksin video broadcast last night...which normally would seem like a totally outlandish idea to bring the whole international connection down...but this is Thailand...i wouldn't put it past them.
April 27, 201016 yr It started around 5.30 ish last night, and was ongoing this morning, seems to be okay now. Nonthaburi area.
April 27, 201016 yr Go figure, as i wrote this post then it started working again. It was out since yesterday afternoon. Strange.Admin can close this thread. TOT worked fine for me yesterday and so far today here in Bangkok...no interruptions/inability to reach any Thai or international web sites. I use the Goggle DNS. In fact, last night was working exceptionally speedy for international sites. Sounds like the problem may have been limited to your little part of Thailand or maybe your browser acting up. Who knows with the many, many, many things that can cause an internet connection not to work right.
April 27, 201016 yr Yeah, TOT ADSL went down last night. I live near north of Victory Monument. Was still down this morning but as of 10.30am today, it's back up. It was not a DNS problem, no packets were getting through (although I didn't test any IP addresses in Thailand). I had urgent work to do, so I ended up dropping another 550 baht on my condo WiFi service. That worked last night but was down this morning. No idea if it's back up. I don't know what ISP the condo uses. Maybe 'fake reds' put tyres on the pipe?
April 27, 201016 yr Maybe 'fake reds' put tyres on the pipe? Or, too many discarded red shirts hanging on/shorting out the phone lines
April 27, 201016 yr My IpStar went down at 2000 Last night and I just got it back 5 minutes ago 1340. It was down 100 percent no web inside or outside of Thailand, but IpStar was working fine it just stopped at the ToT server like the account was suspended.
April 27, 201016 yr True is also very slow on international sites. Bangkok and Singapore (ThaiVisa) seems to be ok. ping to Germany shows 25% packet loss. Sigh........
April 28, 201016 yr My rapidshare is downloading at about 10% capacity, using True. Not good! I'm in the Ramintra/Fashion Island area...
