Tot Internet So Slow Today,Or Just Me?

[worgeordie]

The TOT internet service is so slow tonight,maybe less than dial up speeds,

or is it just me?

regards Worgeordie

Mine too.....heard that they were 'tweaking' the system. Is your connection wired or via wi-net??

Lots of changes in the TOT system as they are trying to switch over to wireless and hope it goes smooth and quick.

TOT must be worst internet provider in Thailand!

TOT was slow for me last night but now I am getting 6MB of my 7MB package like usual.

No not just you WG. I could shave a beard while waiting for a 'page' to come up!!!!!!!

Mines horrible and been that way quite a while I keep saying I ll change to bbb but keep putting it off hoping it gets better . Im on and off line so much hard to do anything forget watching video

A possible theory could be that it's related to the recent Truevisions satellite security enhancement.. meaning that everyone who used to watch True through a Dreambox (downloading only decription information), is now forced to download the actual content in full, through the same connection.

I just watched Formula 1 qualifying... Pretty much the same quality as I used to get with Truevisions, *NO* commercials, but I AM of course using massively more bandwidth. There are likely more people now getting more content through the Internet.

Wait until the premier league starts.. then we may see Thailand's internet speeds come to a grinding halt!

Not specific to TOT because my 3BB was both slow and not even connecting on wifi for several hours earlier today. Seems much better now.

Mine has been slow all day. 4 hours to download 600MB!

[msg362]

Still VERY slow today, 5 hours for 1GB ( I"m on a nominal 8mbs connection in sankamphaeng)

[worgeordie]

I am going to complain on Monday, its terrible,even Thai sites take

forever to load.

Of course it will be mine or the computers fault,NOT TOT s, what is

their standard recourse, unplug the router,wait 10 mins plug back in.

Is 3BBB any better I wonder? anyone

OK

Using the Thai IP address

testing with ADSL Thailand I get 49ms ping, 7.8 mbps down, 0.8 up ,which is close to my contract

testing with Speedtest I get

( to the vientiane server, don't ask me why)

67 ping, 7.8 down, 0.7 up

If I connect with A UK VPN to a UK server, it times out after > 1.7 seconds and fails to connect ( ADSL Thailand)

Similarly Speedtest net, UK but the Thai IP address fails to connect

Thai IP ( Speedtest) g to LA gives 504 ms ping, 2.9 down and VERY slow up

SO

inside Thailand seems to be OK, but cannot understand why they are suing he Vientian server, it suggests there is something wrong in BKK.

Not sure why the UK is so much slower than the YS (???? routing??)

If anybody can make sense of this make me happy!

Just to add, this post took 40 seconds to upload!! ???!!!

I have tried TOT, 3BB and what used to TT&T and also IP Star and they were all not reliable.

I have recently changed to AIR NET and is is downloading 7mbp and uploading the same.

We had a few problems to start, the engineer who installed did not set up my PC correct but the very next day it was fixed and we are sailing!!!
