seajae Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 For the last month or so we have been experiencing drop outs constantly with 3bb but they have started to happen continuously over the last week, we have a few minutes online then we drop out. I complained 2 weeks ago and it improved but when I sent an email to say thanks for the improvement it got worse than it was originally. We are in Surat Thani, is anyone else getting this sort of thing happening, it is really pissing me off as it just keeps happening all the time and making using the internet pretty hard. Failing this can anyone recomend a better internet provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benalibina Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Their must be a central distributionbox which they use for a certain area. If your house is more than 4 to 5 km away from it and they have had more customers around your area recently than ....... well it happens what you describe. Usage increase in bandwith. Had similar problems before. Shambles ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotR1GHT Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 No problems in central Pattaya. In fact ,in almost 4 months of having 3bb 10mb/512 i didn't experience any problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokstick Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Can also be the router that has problem or that doesn't work well with 3BB. Once I even found that the router electric transformer/plug had micro-cuts and then internet was down few seconds every few minutes... I could know that only after the electric part completely died because there was previously no sign of problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seajae Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 thanks guys, just getting frustrated that everytime I try to go online the service just keeps dropping out and I loose ADSL totally for anywhere up to a few minutes before it comes back on. Had the wiring and the router checked just recently and they were fine so it has to be in there main frame or the phone wiring coming to the area is faulty, didnt think of that before, quite possible really knowing how bad there upkeep of everything is......

Lenthai Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 It sems, that especially in the weekend, when the crowd from Bangkok comes here, internet is slow and sometime not working at all. It is just to busy and the providers cannot handle all that traffic. Same is the traffic on the roads by the way. I just came becak from Pattaya to my house in Jomtien and it is one hughe trafficjam everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baboon Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Aye, my 3BB connection in Chumphon is exactly as described. Hit and miss on weekdays and as good as useless at the weekend. I live 5KM from the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quandow Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Maybe too late to weigh in here, but my 3BB in Jomtien was great up until a month or two ago. VERY slow transfer, one or two total dropouts an hour, I'm thinking of looking at another provider. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
