buadhai Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Hmmm. MaxNet4Home seems speedy again. Maybe it's just today: Download - 212,360 bps Upload - 129,304 bps QOS - 22% RTT - 325 ms MaxPause - 2095 ms MaxPause is still way out there, though.

buksida Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Its actually got worse here (Hua Hin) average speed is about 35-40Kbps. Last night I even had to unplug the router and get back on dialup just to download my emails. I'll be hearing from the manager of the local TT&T branch today with some alternatives as this contract is definately getting cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Now I kind have lost Maxnet on how they assign IP addresses A friend of mine just did the "downgrade" to Maxnet4life 256/128, and he ends up getting an IP in the same 203.XXX range. At least the result is OK, little bit the same effect as I have on the Maxnet4life 512/256. Surfing is great, doesn't stall halfway through a page or a download, response is pretty quick, etc... However if I do the online speedtests they are not really spectacular! MySpeed Results Download 158,232 bps Upload 84,304 bps QOS 24% RTT 32 ms MaxPause 1993 ms Or the leslie test: Modem Speed Test Page - Test Results Date: Thursday, August 4th, 2005 Time: 15:48:52 Download Time: 22.382 seconds (for a 470kB file) Average Throughput: 21550 kBps (or 172,400kbps) *Estimated Connection Speed: greater than 128,000 bps Which is already a great improvement over the Maxnet4home socalled 512/256 speed... So the speed tests tell me I can get roughly 65% of what I should get, but if I do a real download I seem to get the full speed. I downloaded the 16 Mb file to install Jave and it came in at 25.7kBps (=205kbps). Which is 80% of rated speed and absolutely normal due to overhead inherrent to the TCP/IP protocol the internet uses... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buksida Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Finally went in the shop and cancelled that joke of a service today. The girl even had the audacity to ask if I wanted to "upspeed" ..... upspeed from what 18Kbps to 30Kbps. So after spending 3,000 on a new line, 3,200 on hardware and 2,400 on ADSL I'm back to square one ........ dialup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I think Kid is getting the Maxnet4sme ! His results are exactly in the same leage as what I got in the first weeks I had the Maxnet4home... Currently on Maxnet4life and although the service is good, it's not as good as what Kid's getting... MySpeed Results Download 395,743 bps Upload 96,593 bps QOS 36% RTT 36 ms MaxPause 1259 ms Speed is OK, but the maxpause indicates that the contention ratio on my package is higher then on Kid's... After everybody's posts, it seems there is no relation between the IP you get assigned and the package you are on... It's probably the RAS server (which checks your username/password) that tells their QOS system (which distributes bandwidth) how much speed to give to which IP address. I have a comparable system up and running with a Wifi hotspot (under Linux) and this system can assign max speeds to different users, purely based on username. Free hotspot users in the restaurant downstairs get 64kbps, while the customers staying in the rooms upstairs get up to 256kbps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buksida Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 TOT dialup 1222 Download: <deleted> Uploade: <deleted> Cost: nothing At least I know where I stand with this, its slow but it WORKS, which is more than I could say for Maxnet. I've spoked to five or six other Maxnet users in Hua Hin who are all having the same problems, so it must be the area. Currently seeking an alternative provider, will probably go for a Ji-net 256/128 package at around 1,500. If its anywhere close the the speed it should be I'll be a happy camper.

buadhai Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 MaxNet4Home still working well for me. Downloaded a 119MB file in 1:16 this morning using curl. Average download speed for the entire file was 27,482KBS. During the entire download I was doing my usual: reading web pages, doing e-mail, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard10365 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I have maxnet. I am in Sa Kaeo. I have the 512 package. I was able to watch Nasa land the space shuttle with no problems here. Maxnet works great for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Friend of mine went to TT&T office today and asked about the options for getting adsl... Their advice was to stay away from Maxnet4home as it was very slow They advised on Ji-net or Loxinfo. Strangely enough they didn't talk about Maxnet4life... At least they're honest now! Still happy with mine, +100mb downloads come in solidly at between 40 and 50kBps... Haven't had one disconnect since I upgraded (which sometimes was a problem back when I had Ji-net) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I have maxnet. I am in Sa Kaeo. I have the 512 package. I was able to watch Nasa land the space shuttle with no problems here. Maxnet works great for me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hello, I am also in Sa Kaeo Province at Ta Phraya out in the middle of a large rice field with dial-up but soon in September I will ask for maxnet at 256/128 as it seems there are varying reports of the failing speeds of 512/256. I was wondering if you would like to make contact with me to talk computers and I am always looking for a computer shop that sells many accessories and Internet access dial-up, as I will have three to four weeks before I can ask for the maxnet that I'll install myself. I live near Alanyaprathet. You can email me at [email protected] or telephone sometimes but online a lot at 0-3751-0073. Also I am American expat living almost 15 years in Thailand.

I guess it largely depends on the area, needless to say TT&T in Hua Hin are rapidly losing customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
