3BB upgrade and provisioning/quality

Featured Replies

At present I am on 3BB @ 13Mb (DSL). Sadly there is no cable provisioning in my Moo Bahn so I am stuck with copper wire. I now have a need for improving my line quality (I can hear the sighs now). I was thinking about increasing our bandwidth and wondered whether anybody else has done the same and noticed an improvement in stability/quality in their provisioning. It stands to reason that, from a business perspective (now I know I'm onto shaky ground here), ISPs would look to ensure the highest quality bandwidth for their highest paying customers.

I know about business lines, etc but am interested in the normal "home" DSL upgrades.

First person to tell me to move gets a gold star ;)

There are several threads about this topic already and they all say the same thing. Upgrading your plan only increases the speeds within Thailand. No matter which plan you have, you will come up against the same international data bottleneck. A 13MB and 30MB plan will most likely have almost identical speeds when accessing/doing anything outside the Thailand network.

Did brief search, sorry I didn't find those threads. Your answer confirms my suspicions.

I have found 3BB very responsive in Nakhon Pathom, come to home to fix, answer in English, etc.

The router/WiFi they sell is stronger than any of the other units I have tried, three famous brands.

I increased my 3BB wire service greatly by installing heavy duty telephone wire all the way to my router. I was surprised at how much it helped. The home wire has 4 small wires, red black green yellow, sized of about a number 22. The other wire you can buy to run from your router to a second computer some distance from the router, with the larger telephone type plugs on the end also has rather small wire in it.

The heavy duty telephone wire has two larger wires, about #18 and a third wire used for carrier, that is a third strong wire to use to take the strain off of the two conducting wires.

Bon Mhor district has a great wire store with the sharpest wire lady I have ever encountered who will sell you the larger phone wire by the foot/meter. This is a very easy DIY because the voltage on NORMAL phone wire is too low to kill you. That is not true for an UNnormal situation where 220VAC may mistakenly be on phone wires, but that situation would also burn out all phone-type stuff connected to it.

Find where the phone wire drop comes to your house and it should be the larger wire, #18+-, and connect your new install #18 wire there and run it to your router. You will have to splice a short pig tail of the data router plug wire to obtain the proper size plug to go into your router.

It was easy for me, but then I am a amateur ham radio guy, self taught on all this stuff.

My 3BB feed is 22 or 24 right up to my router and all the way down the street. I don't believe your assumption. How can changing the last few meters make any difference?
