New Broadband Speed Test

[britmaveric]

9.75 Mbps not shabby, but wish it were more.

[Ken]

From 80 KM northeast of Korat using mobile phone/bluetooth/AIS. This is about as good as it gets up here. Oh well, better than what I had before which was nothing.

[Mobi]

By some miracle, which must be the work of the Almighty One, my Ipstar Express is actually connected at the present time!

The band width is 227.7 kbps.

Not great - pretty slow, but at least it's on. BUT FOR HOW LONG???

I'm sure I aught to be able to sue Loxinfo/Ipstar under the Trade Descriptions Act. Oh Sorry, wrong country.

(Only Thaksin is allowed to sue over here.)

To Maigo 6:

Who are you using and where are you located?

Thanks,

Your current bandwidth reading is:

1.85 Mbps

which means you can download at 236.28 KB/sec. from our servers.

Your current bandwidth reading is:

407.90kbps

which means you can download at 50.99 KB/sec. from our servers.

Using Qnet 512/256 on Lower Sukhumvit.

It's usually never this quick! And I'm planning to change.

Anyone use LoxInfo's highest speed?

I need at least 1mbp download.

Thanks,

Twin

Your current bandwidth reading is:

44.50kbps

which means you can download at 5.56 KB/sec. from our servers.

Not bad considering the connection strength is very weak (only one bar on the phone).

This is the middle reading of 3 tests. Although all 3 very quite similar.

As Ken says this is about as good as it gets.......

Only alternative here is satellitte and I think that may cost a little more than 500 Baht for 200 hours per month.....

[francois]

hi'

2.79 max after 10 retry

it's not serious

I have a 8mb/1mb line, in real measure with bandwidth monitor pro, I have the same that my isp gives me on check, a good 6.5mb/850kb ...

normaly i get / 835kb/s down and 83 kb/s up, this meter gives me a rough 360kb/s ...

what I guess is the data sent are not proper, either too heavy or too light

this script of measurement is completly out

or may be it works only for thai's isp?

anyway, I know that my line is a lot faster than what this meter say

so, no worry

I agree, same with me. Last night it gave me (several tests) completely different figures all the time.

I also ran several tests and went from I extreme to the other with it eventually telling me I was 0!!

59....

180....

I guess that puts me at aroun 120 ish...

This is not good. No wonder my connection is so bad.

Does anyone have another Bandwidth test site to try?

[opalhort]

There appears to be some difference with bandwidth tests depending on the PC speed.

We are subscribed to True at 1Mbps, with three PCs on a local LAN (router modem) in the

southern outskirts of BKK (Tungkruh)

local average speeds:

PC1: Pentium II 266Mhz, 160MB Ram: speed 500-580Kbps

PC2: Pentium IV 1.6GHz, 768MB Ram: speed 680-800Kbps

PC3: Pentium IV 3.2GHz, 2GB Ram: speed 920-980Kbps

results of international bandwidth tests depend very much on the time of day.

most of the time we get 550-700Kbps download / 200-350Kbps upload speed. only late afternoon - early evening we suffer a slowdown to as slow as dial-up sometimes.

For international bandwidth test I am using the "hi-speed navigator" provided by TRUE.

The test is much more accurate now. Here's my result on a True 2048/512 connection.

[lunatic69]

This is what i get at home, i wish it was like that when i am in Thailand.

Whe can only dream about it.

[kdvsn]

Whe can only dream about it.

I have doubts about how accurate the test at that pinned link is. Below what I got from my home in the States where I am using cable modem (204.8 Mbs):

The thing is, my cable connection is capped by my cable company at 10 Mbs and the computer that I obtained the above result with is connected to a router within my house by 802.11b wireless which only has a real world throughput of about 5 Mbs from computer to router. What kind of connection did you have when you obtained the above result of 174.43?

A set of tests that seems more realistic in it's results is the one that is hosted on various servers around the US at http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest

[billp]

I guess this is fast enough. But my connection is supposed to be 6 M/bit. If the test is accurate, what's happened to the other 4000 M/bit?

[Killerbee]

I am using Loxinfo 1024/512 on a TOT line...

On www.adslthailand.com/speedtest/ I get : 697.50kbps

But on http://bandwidth.thaivisa.com I get: 208.80kbps

What's the trick here???

Am not very satisfied with my Loxinfo account though, often quite slow and speed varies by the minute...

Anybody else using Loxinfo and cares to share his/her results?

Cheers,

Killerbee

adslthailand gives you LOCAL bandwidth

bandwidth.thaivisa gives you INTERNATIONAL bandwidth.

Not same!

[RickFarang]

Here is the URL of a U.S. based ISP that provides a speed test.

Just click on "speed test" under the General Support heading.

Using True ADSL in Bagnkok, international download speed was often much lower than that from a site within Thailand, I guess its because of the international gateway bottlenck.

Interesingly (to me, anyway), using Loxinfo IP Star service up here in Udon Thani, speed to this U.S. site has been consistently maxed out at 262 kb/s (the rated rate of the service I subscribed to) every time I checked in the five days I've had the service. Except when it rains, then of course the rate drops to zero

Just tried it..cant be right ...can it?

[EVO]

I just managed to get a stonking speed of 40.7kbps on my 1Mb KSC connection.

Good job ill be getting rid of these fools at the end of this month.

I think thats a new record low for me. Pass the beer!

[EVO]

correction, a new low!!

34.3kbps!! I might as well be using a diesel powered computer!

Just for infos= sake, im on a mac with 802.11g wireless connecti0on.

Waaaaa. Help!
