A buddy of mine has frequently complained that he can not access Thai Visa even though he does not have any problem with other web sites. I was wondering what he was doing wrong until I started getting, "Ooops, this page appears to be broken" notices every time that I would try to connect with TV for the last couple of days. Anyone else in CM having this problem?

I had this problem a bit yesterday (19 july).

I have not been able to access Thaivisa for 3 days

If you guys are with 3BB, just restart your router/modem. 3BB has a routing issue.

I had this for three days. Using my mobile & GMail via Dtac I contacted Thaivisa & had a very quick & rapid response from Linda. I followed her suggestion to switch off my modem for 5 minutes & then reconnect. It worked . She suggests that if the problem recurs I repeat this exercise.

I've had this problem off/on with 3BB for a few days now. I do a soft reset of the modem/router to get a new IP and it's ok until next time it happens. Several reports of this issue with both 3BB and TOT nation wide.

had problems on my laptop with TV and problems with gmail on my pc

It is happening on and off again this morning, but now it pretty much all Internet addresses - not just Thai Visa. Yes, I have 3BB.

I have 3BB in Sansai and its working fine this morning with TV but did not have TV for 3 days

Possibly the TV gods trying to even out the post counts.....

I had this problem this morning; restarted my modem and router and now OK.

I've had this before with 3BB and it normally affects Thai Visa and google as well as some others.

I have had the same problem logging on to Thai Visa, but have not had any problems logging on to other sites.

Why primarily Thaivisa and not so much with other sites? What does TV have or not have compared to the other sites?

Just curious.

UG...how did you survive?

Luckily a buddy gave me the address of a really good free porno site, so it was not as bad as it could have been - perfect timing!

I do not have 3BB any longer i have TOT but i am also in Sansai.

I saw about 5 3bb service vans all congregated near a pole next to Tesco Lotus Express Sansai on Monday i think it was. They were all working very hard to fix something so perhaps they have sorted it.

When you were unable to connect did you find yourself suffering from sudden bursts of optimism or good will towards your fellow expat/ thai?

We are using CDN (Content Delivery Network) of similar style as Google, as we are load balancing our traffic in several data centers around the globe).

If an (Thai) ISP screws it up and revert to old cached data in routing and/or DNS, we are affected as most big sites.

I couldn't access TV for about 24 hours. I emailed [email protected] and got a response in less than an hour. Was told to turn the router off for 5 minutes. Worked like a charm. But I'm still having problems with other websites. When I try to navigate on other websites I keep getting this annoying little window asking me if I want to save a .php file of some sort. I have to hit cancel like 3 tines to get it to go away and move to the next page. Anyone else having this problem?

Ah, thank you for your answer. Clear now.

UG with 25,091 posts I think you should consider this a well earned vacation.

The mods are quite generous when it comes to unwanted vacations already.
