Exactly

still that doesn't explain why I am being shutdown randomly every hour, even for local Internet connection

ok using a proxy outside Thailand, I am getting better performance, even for local thai internet sites

I think they have a problem with their local proxy servers (since we all go through it). Can't handle all the traffic ???
