For The Attention Of All The Internet Service Providers.

This statistic confirms that fast domestic internet speeds are available within Thailand.

The technology does in fact exist in Thailand.

For international bandwidth however the following steps are required:

They make a much high margin from the monthly fees if international is choked so just forget about it being fixed because it is fixed and that is the problem - it was never broken.

errr. yes

[JetsetBkk]

errr. yes

Precisely.

This is how it is:

and this is what we wawnt:

Exactly what RKASA is trying to say, I have no idea.

Your only going to get as much as they are willing to pay for. It is not broken, the deal is fixed. Thai ISP's provide a Thai internet and the WWW is not a real concern to them as long as they can sell monthly packages. Less international bandwidth expense makes them more money because it cost money. Tech is not the issue - follow the money. What you want or think Thailand needs has nothing to do with right wrong or even could be - follow the money - if more bandwidth was necessary for more profit you would have more.

Hi internetters , BP has today an article on internet speeds http://www.bangkokpost.com/tech/computer/315205/not-up-to-speed

in it states that on average the actual speed in Thailand is 70% of promised locally and 30-60% speed for international.

Well I would love to have this 70% but, I only get at the best of times about 30% of my contract promised speeds. Lately it has been worse even.

Now I have a question for computer literate people.

I have contract with TOT for a 9M download and 1M upload speed for 900 odd Bahts; they sold me this package with the promise that it would be better for international services as the cheapy ones.

If I look at the setting of my ADSL router I read

This information reflects the current status of your DSL connection.

Line Rate - Upstream (Kbps): 512 Line Rate - Downstream (Kbps): 4096 LAN IP Address:

these settings seems to be fixed, by TOT? as I cannot change it.

the settings look to me to reflect a download speed of 4M en upload of 0.5 M ; correct ???

So it my conclusion right that TOT is already at the settings of my ADSL router, restricting my internet speed to only 50%??? , let alone the concurrent number of users of our lines. ??

Please help me out as I am not too computer literate and like to have a technical sound story when I do file a complaint.

Correct, your router is only connecting at 4 mbits so that is the max traffic that can pass through it.
