manarak Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 This is a thing I would like to know before booking a hotel or room! Many nowadays have "free internet" or included in the rate. But how fast is it? The speed here at Mosaik Luxury Apartments in Pattaya is really poor (wireless). It bothers me as the crappy upload speed disturbs VOIP connections. If you stay in a hotel or guesthouse, serviced apartment, room, etc. Please run the speedtest and post the result! www.speedtest.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiu-Jitsu Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Perhaps have True 3G as a backup in these situations. Probably not much more reliable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manarak Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Just off 2nd Rd. I was hoping for something more specific - which guesthouse/hotel's connection is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manarak Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) ok, if no one is willing to tell the hotel names, this thread can as well be closed. The speed doesn't depend so much on the location, but much more on the provider, connection type and plan used by the hotel.

Darrel Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'm not saying where I live until I move out. Otherwise it will soon be full of people seeking a decent connection speed and that will be that! You asked for the connection stats and I gave them. For what it's worth, the place I'm staying in seems to have its connection capped at 4Mbits, and I connect via one of the 3 wifi access points in the building (one of which hardly ever works, and the third doesnt work at all). The one I am on is "g" and the one that sometimes works is "n". The provider is indicated in the speedtest results and the connection is ADSL. They use a crappy old modem provided by the ISP that hangs every day or so, and I have to log in and reboot it to get it working again. Luckily the hotel didnt change the default modem password and so I can do it from my room without them knowing. The ADSL loses sync several times a day also. I'm not sure why but I suspect the crappy modem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejah Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 apparently switching the router on and off for 5 minutes once a week is good according to one ISP is this suppose to clear some cache, or what, or nothing at all??? perhaps it logs off those that should not be on or are idle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
