jaapfries Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Here in Pattaya, TOT is taking the cake ! ! We've had very bad & often broken connectivity,ove the past 3 weeks - and during the past week NO CONNECTIVITY at all ! ! Yes; I am very angry, especially since their so called "Hot-Line" is not being answered at all. I'ld like to hear from other TOT-Internet users with similar problems ? Cheers, JK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaicbr Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Tot is crap...but do you think that some of the problems may be due to the flooding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 TOT here on Samui is improving slowly - both service and engineers. I had wondered where the old staff had gone to - looks like you won them in Pattaya. side-line - some years ago on Samui, my TOT line did not work for over six months. They were waiting for a new exchange and so no repairs to the old one. I suggested that I would not have to pay the telephone bill. Their reply was "no problem - we sell to someone else if you do not pay." When I pointed out that it did not work - they laughed and said that it would be a while before the new customer found out and that he would have paid for the installation by then.

Pib Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 For the almost 3 years I was on the TOT 4Mb or 6Mb plan here in western Bangkok the service was fine....only had one outage due to a line problem which was fixed in about 4 hours after calling it in. Now, I'm talking the ADSL/internet basic connection which was close to 100% reliable in rain or shine; however, their available international bandwidth/speed could have been better. While just fine for basic browsing and emailing, neither the 4Mb or 6Mb plan could do streaming video without a lot of pausing. I'm not into torrents so I can't speak to how good or bad TOT is when it comes to torrent downloading. I have since switched to True cable internet which arrived my moobaan about 4 months ago...I only switched due to faster speeds/plans since TOT's top ADSL speed/plan to my moobaan was 6Mb...I did not switch due to reliability of the TOT line. I expect all the flooding has the service/maintenance-side of TOT maxed-out, especially in working those areas hit hard with floodng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I live south of Pattaya (Huay Yai) and have TOT. I have a connection. It dropped off last night but resumed this morning. My Thai wife tried calling the hot line which was disconnected...she got through to a real person who checked the line... TOT seems to be much better than several months ago...fewer drop offs...and fast enough to watch streaming videos... I still download most and watch later. Where are you in Pattaya? Do you still have no service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaParent Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) No problems with TOT in Pratumnak or in Ban Chang over the past 3 weeks. CAT has ben bad though. Edit: not had any real problems in the last 5 years actually and only had 1 issue with their call centre personnel.
