rhino533 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) I live in Rayong and the Internet has been really slow for the last 2 or 3 days. Some websites are fast to open while other take ages (like most International site). My internet connection is usually really fast. Sometimes the sites open quick but 99% of the time they open really slow. Like I said only for the last few days. I can't open speedtest.net properly to test the speed. It takes ages to load which in not normal. Anyone else in Thailand experiencing the same problem? Edited August 18, 2012 by rhino533 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedtest: NewYork: Ping: 331ms 0.07 (Down) it takes so long I gave up so I'm not to sure the upspeed. The Internet usually has speeds of: Ping 26ms, 8-9.5mb (Down), 800-900kb (Up) and never usually has an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoosh, the sound of my point soaring over your head. "Without a lot more detail..." My comment was not intended as a personal attack, but you have to be serious.His provider,service type,line characteristics or dns servers have most probabaly not changed from 3 days earlier or even since he opened the contract with his provider.It is a public secret that internet service in Thailand sucks big time, and that complaining or even pointing out the issues to to the provider will change nothing. I personally are connected with Dtac 3G and I will get a decent service about 5-6 days a month,while the other days are crap. e.g. have to reset my modem probably 10 times a day,get download speeds on for example google attachements of 20 KB,download files larger than 1 Gb are automatically disconnected or acctually show a jump from 20% downloaded straight to 100% while they are not. I can tell you that those 5-6 days that it works better, I don't change anything in my house or in my settings and I doubt they move the antenna. Now let me tell you something else.For the past week I have run out over my limit of 3Gb so I am restricted to 384 Kbs. Since that day I had to reset my modem maybe 2 times,all downloads come all in without a single disconnection andf I get a steady 43 KB down speed.

Yeah it's DSL Ok I changed the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 When I speedtested the Download and the Upload speed was slightly better using the Bangkok Server.

Post traceroute results. I've worked on a few problematic TOT DSL installs, invariably the issues have been with DNS servers - the TOT DNS servers crap out - and/or line problems, esp. cross-connects at the CO as a result of bad work when adding newer subscribers. With DSL, esp TOT, things change almost daily. Edited August 18, 2012 by lomatopo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got a speedtest of: Ping:320ms 9.5mb down and 430kb up (NewYork Sever). That was pretty much the same for servers all over North America. One thing I noticed was that when testing the down speed it wasn't smooth it jumped around Here are my Router Stats: Edited August 18, 2012 by rhino533 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomatopo Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 websites? traceroute? router log? Also, it looks like a D-Link? Model number? Have you had this service for a while? It was fine until a few days ago? Do you have a telephone on the line? Can you make/receive calls? Any noise on the phone line? IME, speedtest are pretty much worthless for anything other than verifying basic connectivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Nakhon Pathom, speeds here also crashed and burned the last few days.I am on TOT Home DSL 6 Mb Down; 0.5 Mb Up. It got as bad as 0.68 Down and 0.15 Up. I normally am able to run 2 Java based streaming data stock trading platforms + 3 Outlook web email platforms of my clients + 1-2 more websites + Skype all at the same time with not many issues. But lately, I can barely get an email off and even that requires closing down nearly all other applications. I called TOT and gave them a good earful as this is not the first time internet here has sucked. Speeds today are back to where they should be. Although Europe and Singapore are very slow; within Thailand, Hong Kong and the US are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman71 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 As I understand it from a Silicon Valley/US-based internet security/performance enhancement co. that is a client of mine and has in the past been trying sell into CAT, the issues with internet performance in Thailand rest with the handoff between the various ISP's like TOT, True, etc. and CAT. CAT is main connection point for the ISP's to the Internet backbone. According to my client (this was a couple of years ago when they told me this), there are configuration capatibility issues between CAT and the various ISP's as well as lack of adequate bandwith in various locations. Add to the situation the proliferation of smartphones/tablets among the locals here, who like to use them to watch TV, streaming videos, play online games, etc. and all the ingredients are in place for a speed/bandwith clusterphuck. Unbelievable such a thing could happen in such a technologically savvy place like the LOS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSnapper Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 True Internet (ADSL) in BKK is crappy again the last few days. Slow downloads of 40 KB/s and such. Slow surfing. It's a never ending story here, for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhino533 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 I just did a speedtest using Speedtest.net. All seems to be back to normal for now. The only thing not really fixed is my ping. It's usually around 26ms to a Bangkok server. I've never really seen it much higher than that except in the last few days. I'm using TOT 10/1mbs home package.

LivinLOS Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Its 'better' but still unstable.. Peak speeds have started to recover but throughput and consistency is still weak. On TOT 10 Mbit.
