Anyone else having problems accessing international sites yet again today or is it just me?

Yes my TOT connection here in Ban Chang slowed way down about 0800 hours. Cannot connect to many sites international and Thai Visa and others verrrrrrryyyy slow. Took almost a minute to open this topic

Im in najomtien, woke up about 7:45am and it was like this oh well so much for work, back to sleep it is!

7.45 Internet suddenly died for me. Darkside/Kao Noi.

Until one minute before, I was able to watch a TV stream without any issues.

Can not connect on TOT at all 0915 hours

Same problem as last week, No international Sites even ping www.google.co.th fails with Error Message, [Ping Request could not find host]

However http://www.scb.co.th and other in Thailand hosted sites are accessible

It's down in Ban Chang this time, last week was fine.

As of 11:30 I can Access International Sites via ToT again.

All good again at Midday for me on the Darkside!

TOT was down for me this morning. Fine again this afternoon.

Maybe May Day holiday yesterday caused problems for today? Seems they have problems during holiday days and rectify them the next day.

I don't have any dial tone on my fixed TOT line. If I call my number it rings and I still have internet access if you can call it that. I gave up trying to get through to customer service as there was no saying how many hours I'd need to hold - using my cellphone.

Will need to visit the office in person to get something done.

If you cant access google your screwed anyway as ToT have google as their DNS server changed my to open DNS and google to spread it about a bit. I know one of the DNS for ToT is google the other may be a thai IP which is why you can access thai sites when there is a problem.

It's been really dicey the last few days in Jomtien. Sometimes down, often just switching off. No special pattern related to international websites though.

My normally very reliable 3BB premier connection has just gone down. Perhaps there's a more widespread problem in the area.

(ironically I'm posting this with my hardly ever used TOT connection)

Yesterday TOT internet not working here in Huay Yai...all the lights were on on the router but no internet...My wife called. They said it was some sort of problem involving Singapore. Who knows. They said just wait. I did...an hour or so later it was working. I settled in & suddenly a quick moving thunderstorm moved in & a huge lightening bolt sounded...the desktop & the router began turning off & on. I shut down the power...waited for the storm to move on. Fired up the computer. The router registered two lights...had a connection but no internet.

The router was fried.

My wife went to the TOT office, they tested the router...proclaimed it dead & sold her a new one.

Now it works....

It's down in Ban Chang this time, last week was fine.

TOT was back on in Ban Chang after lunch yesterday.

Chonburi - Amata Nakorn Area: Phoned ToT around 8.30 a.m.............line down due to broken fiber optic cable .... at least that's what the call center told us.

For now (Th 3-5-2012) everything normal.

Mine went down again about an hour ago. As for the thunderstorm post, you should consider buying a power unit that will kick in for its battery power when the power goes off its also got surge protection also I think. Comes in very useful when the power goes off, mine lasts for about 40 minutes and it means I can still use the internet whilst the power is off.
