Howdy,

For the last week I've not been able to connect to some overseas site - TheGuardian.com and www.fanchants.com are just two. Others are slow.

I've done speed tests and the service is fine within Thailand - 45MB download but when I go to say New York, it's batters the connection down to .75MB to 3.5. Basically unusable for sites being served from outside of Thailand.

I've called them twice, both times they say they will call back cos they cant work it out, or rather I can't get a straight answer - they speak great English just won't say why or what the problem is.

Just wondering if anyone else is having these issues or knows what the problem is before I switch providers - the same sites are fine on the same laptop on other ISP's /networks - haven't been able to try another True connection.

Thanks for any assistance.

Michael

Problem could be due to true transparent proxy.

I'll send you a pm with test proxy, try it to see if it will fix your problem.

Something is broken at True. I'm getting dial-up speeds on downloads from my dedi in France. Would be getting around 1.3 MB/s usually. I'm in BKK.

Yeah I think so. The lady was very articulate and knew what I was asking and she would not answer. I was asking if there was issues with True connecting outside of Thailand and if others were experiencing the same issues. Smelt very fishy. I'm going to have to chnage to 3BB or other if it doesn't sort itself next day or so.

Thread #XXX about this subject. Get a VPN and you'll be fine.

Perhaps other members can make another XXX threads and the problem disappears by itself.

There are already several threads about this issue that have been very active for the last week. Not really any need to start a new one!

Here's a traceroute to my server in France. Looks like a problem at the True gateway.

Ping looks normal. From singapore to True pop in Europe took 200 ms, which is perfectly normal for SG - EU submarine fiber link.

I have been experiencing the exact same international problem with TOT for the last 10 days or so. Thai speeds excellent, international down to 3.75 download and 0.66 upload, Ping 268ms to UK
