True, Bkk, 61.* Versus 58.* Ip-delegation.

[TAWP]

Been using TRUE for some months now and usually been given IP from the 61.*.*.*-range, with a few exceptions. Been delegated the 58.*.*.*-range would mean slower international speed, forced firewall-mode (since the transparent proxys and cache-servers are incorrectly configured) and difficoulties to stay connection to irc, ftp and the like.

This last week however, we have been getting 58.*-range almost every other day, and finally, beginning 3 days ago, only 58.*. This is ofcourse a decline in quality of the package for us.

These last days I have also noted that several other expats have been revieving IPs from this range this week. When did it start for you and what is your experience?

(Been in contact with TRUE, had technicians here and sent 3 e-mails to them. I'm not going to away easy with this one... )

I'm with CSLoxInfo on a TOT fixed-line. According to my router, and www.adslthailand.com my IP address is 58.nnn.nnn.nnn , with a DNS server begining 203. According to www.portforward.com my IP address begins with 203.

Are True and CSLoxInfo sharing 58 IP addresses? Why is 61 better? Overall I;m happy with the service, reliability and performance. Local, intra-Thailand performance is excellent. Performance outside Thailand is OK, great on the weekends and at night, slowish during business hours, which might be a result of "traffic-shaping" as mentioend in another post/thread.

Check out my post way back in May this year here. I've been getting such unstable speed results on my SME 2Mb from True since the change, that I've reverted to using my apartment's setup with KSC. They're paying for a 1Mb connection with a 1:1 contention ratio (extremely expensive at over 30,000 baht per month), and using it with a HPNA system. As not many people are using it in the apartment, it's at least consistent, although not super fast.

For some reason more and more customers are pushed over into 58-range. That it's more unstable and 'forced firewalled' really doesn't make anyone happy either.
