Got the information from CSLox yesterday that CAT went belly up once again, so most of Thailand Internet users were cut out from the rest of the world. Only subscribers to "gold"-style packages, that allow backup routing over the real uplink providers (international companies) that the major Thai ISPs pay for too could still connect.

The "cheap" CAT-only folks were left in the dark.

TOT still has a very long way to go, but in some ways they're improving. I had the pleasant surprise to get to talk to a lady who was speaking a perfect English at their hotline yesterday evening. And she was really trying to be helpful.

On the other hand the CAT losers are ... well, just remaining as losers and very happy with this. Not a single guy can speak any decent English at their NOC. I won't comment on their technical abilities because that would make me use a lot of banned words.

I remember one case of a major outage a few years ago. The reason (as reported from an insider I knew there) was that one of their fat staff went to the back of a rack carrying important network equipment for some reason on a friday afternoon. We walked on some poorly run fibers and disconnected one (at least). Unfortunately, that turned out to be a major backbone link. Of course, CAT is CAT, so no one noticed or even cared until the next monday morning...
