Daren Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I have a pretty bad connection here at home - SmartZone Wifi (boooo!!) - but the TV site seems exceedingly slow since the "upgrade". Page often seem to hang while loading and everything just feels sluggish. Also, pages seem to never stop "loading". In Firefox 3.6.3, I get the spinning icon indefinitely on every page I try to load, even if all the images and content has appeared. Any one else getting this or is it just my crap connection?

filingaccount Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) Sounds like you are using alternative DNS servers. Thaivisa is notoriously bad with OpenDNS and GoogleDNS (when used from within Thailand). Edited June 21, 2010 by filingaccount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daren Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Ahh... well I am using GoogleDNS because I have found it speeds up the majority of sites I visit. Hmmm... wonder what I should do: deal with TV being slow or the rest of the web? Thanks for the reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filingaccount Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) You could use DNS jumper to switch between DNS servers on the fly. http://server1.fiberdownload.com/8_kituri/Dns_Jumper.exe Edit: more direct link. Edit #2: Users who download the software do so at their own risk. I haven't tested it, but the details state it does change DNS only and is without spyware. I do not make any guarantees etc...

Daren Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Interesting piece of software. Thanks for sharing. I don't think it's worth it to me at the moment though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 IE 6 is really slow, but Opera is much better (most of the time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Tips: Do not use OpenDNS or Google DNS from within Thailand. Feel free to use Thaivisa own DNS which is very fast and reliable: 202.170.126.90 Set that one as your primary DNS and your ISP's DNS as secondary.
