SoloFlyer Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Had some days recently with pretty much unusable internet, or too much downtime anyway. Looking for back-up options. True say they don't cover our area. 3BB Fiber - not here yet, but coming soon. More reliable?? AIS - having some trouble finding their home internet offerings online. But their 3g is patchy out here at times. Anyone use them for home internet out this way?? What else is new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloFlyer Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Just had a useless call with 3BB. As an aside, she seemed to indicate, without admitting it - that they throttle your connection when that late payment warning appears on screen.

DaamNaam Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 3BB are the best option for Hang Dong at present. hang in there, get it sorted. Mine is fine. Could be your connection somewhere. About 9 months ago my connection started getting "spotty" turned out it was a dead bug in some box, somewhere. Or so they said. Been told the cable won't come unless they get enough signatures from locals. haha, amazing Thailand at work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainiain101 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I have just finally cancelled 3BB Premier after the best part of 6 years. I was on the TOT service that was taken over by 3BB. I live off Mahidol road, but apparently too far from it for the fibre optic option from 3BB. After the service almost ground to a halt, I went to AT&T and they installed fibre optic at half the monthly cost, and to date it runs really well.

DaamNaam Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 They just called back to say one of their international lines was down part of last week. As I said, we're on 3BB in Hang Dong, and not so much as a glitch. (touch wood) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloFlyer Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) DaamNaam, can I ask what speeds you're getting on the test sites? http://testmy.net/ http://www.speedtest.net/ Edited August 24, 2014 by SoloFlyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaamNaam Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Download: 10.09 Mbps Upload : 00.51 Mbps Most Sundays it's a bit slow, today is no exception. During the week she flies along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainiain101 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) TOT fibre optic just tested mine Down : 20.93 Mbps Up : 3.29 Mbps Edited August 24, 2014 by iainiain101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saraphee Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 TOT fibre optic just tested mine Down : 20.93 Mbps Up : 3.29 Mbps Local or International speeds? Tested thru' your ISP website or independently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limegreenpatato Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 The lowest package is supposed to be 30mbps and your only getting 20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainiain101 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I am no expert. I used the link above to test it http://www.speedtest.net/ It says it is using Vientiane, so I guess that makes it International? I am testing from about 10m from the wifi box supplied by AT&T in the house, through 2 walls and I am today getting Down 24.32 and Up 3.21. I have just run a cable from the wifi box to the lap top and retested and get Down 33.06 Up 3.30 My point is that even at 20 it is 4 times faster than I was getting from 3BB and at half the price. I have no financial interest in either company, though maybe I should buy some shares in AT&T! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 13Mbps is fine for what i need anyway. Not launching a rocket to Mars or anything soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonwilly Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 No connection on 3BB this morning. I live on Suthep Rd. My condo has wi fi and I keep a connection card for times like this. Almost perfect connection fast, so maybe 3BB and I will be parting company. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
