jackbox Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Is anyone else having trouble connecting to websites outside of Thailand tonight (18-Mar-54)? All Thai based websites are responding very fast, but any websites in other countries are responding very slow or not at all. I cannot get through to True on either telephone or chat. Anyone else experiencing these problems tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSnapper Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Yes, today too. Crappy, crappy. Try it with the True-proxy at proxy.asianet.co.th:8080, at least that helps your surfing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverKlozerof Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 My True has been (insert favorite swear word), since yesterday, maybe before. Speedtest.net barely registers any bandwidth at all. Right, can't get through on phone. They'd better have a mighty good explanation for this (e.g., broken fiber cable or something). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that is a good idea. Sites like PayPal suspend your account if they detect a proxy server being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that is a good idea. Sites like PayPal suspend your account if they detect a proxy server being used. Never heard anything like that. Lots of people are forced to use proxies by their company or institution. Nothing wrong with proxies. It seems that the TRUE proxy can reach international sites. As long the proxy is not coming to its limits by overuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKAsok Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Same problem here (BKK). Ironically it was moving like lightning earlier in the day. No access to anything in Europe or the US now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernova Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I was having problems earlier this evening -- many international sites unreachable. Seems to be back to normal now... True 8M, BKK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSnapper Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Yes, works again. And it's fast. Seems, that a lot of people gave up already and left their computers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Haven't seen any problems on several True installs I can access directly, nor have I heard any complaints from subscribers, and believe me I usually hear about issues quite quickly. Can you share any specific websites that you are having difficulty accessing? Can you ping these websites? What are your DNS servers? More often than not here, it is a DNS issue rather than some global outage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tariq786 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Yes International sites unreachables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSnapper Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 More often than not here, it is a DNS issue rather than some global outage. It's often DNS, but not always. Lots of people had problems today. But seems resolved now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbox Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Problem is happening again today, March 22, 2011. I have to resort to TOT3G SIM in an AIS 3G router. I hope True fixes their problems soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSnapper Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Yes, very bad again. Also I get frequent disconnects recently. Today I have full speed some time at 7Mb/s and a few minutes later 10 Kb/s. Thai internet is an eternal drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Can you share any websites you are having problems accessing? I'm not noticing any issues on either True or TOT in Bangkok. Have you contacted True? What did they say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
