Thaivisa.com google.com possibly others connection issues

[smedly]

Ok so I'm currently connected through VPN but without it I cannot connect to TV or google.com as examples, anyone else having issues

3bb ISP

[Thaddeus]

Can you ping them in a cmd line?

[pinkpanther99]

I don't know where you're located but 3BB seems to be having issues in Cha Am this morning. Could be an issue with that?

[Tompa]

Having the same problem, also on 3BB

[Tompa]

Have also had problems over the last few days with internet connection dropping and rebooting 30 sec later.

Thaivisa.com down again - now using vpn again

[Thaddeus]

Smed,

Turn off you VPN connection.

And if it doesn't let you connect to google.

Run CMD and ping 74.125.68.105

That should always get a reply.

Then ping www.google.com

If that doesn't get four clean replies, it's a DNS problem.

For a few days now, TV has been hanging on my iPad - it just sits not moving until I get a notice teling me there's no conection. Doesn't happen with any other website, nor on my PC. (iPad is clean). It's like there's not enough power in the 3BB signal, or something to get it up and over the hill.

[mania]

Yes something odd with Google today & cannot get on it

Yet I can ping it no problem...odd

PS: On 3bb & no other sites having problems

Same here and just with google and thaivisa. I flushed the dns and it worked smooth for about 60 minutes then back to how it was. All other sites are fine.

[KittenKong]

3BB seems to have a routing/DNS problem for the last 2 or 3 days. Many international sites dont connect, or only partially.

Turn on the VPN and everything works fine.

[alocacoc]

I don't use a VPN, but also for me TV and sometimes Google is very slow.

[tfc]

On VPN now and google and thaivisa work fine. Turn off the VPN and no go.

yes I know all that (network savvy) I use google dns 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4, Thaivisa not responding again without vpn, it works sometimes and so does google, they have an issue

I also have the same problem, 3BB in Chiang Mai. Started last night. Switched from 3BB DNS servers to Google DNS servers and same problem. My Singapore VPN, no issues with incomplete loads or timeouts, quite fast actually. Would appear to be a routing change or maintenance on routers or more redirects to MICT filters.

[Ginkas]

Then it's not just me! Phew!

This morning, Chiang Mai, 3BB, often get "This page can't be displayed" for Google and then low definition display for Thai Visa when it eventually made a connection.

Tested with other websites, BBC News, Asus, etc., no problems.

Was back to normal until 10 minutes ago, now Google no longer there (!) and Thai Visa taking an age to load a page.

Apologies, didn't know you were network savvy, many people aren't.

If your DNS is set to that and TVF still doesn't load then it must be a problem with the 3BB routers that your VPN manages to tunnel through but your direct connection can't, not much you can do about that except leave the VPN on.

TVF has been quite slow for me for the last few days as well, so I suspect that the 3BB routers are experiencing timing out issues with some sites trying to be accessed from inside Thailand, as I expect your VPN goes outside the country, wherever that network is, is not experiencing the same problems, so it will have no problem gathering all the data it needs which it can then pass directly to you.

[alocacoc]

It seems, the problem is solved. TV and Google sites are fast as usual. Let's hope it will last.

It hasn't lasted and it is totally p1ssing me off.

[tfc]

Still same situation.

VPN = google and thaivisa works fine.

No VPN = no go, so slow that they time out or just super slow but just making it to loading the page.

[JetsetBkk]

Whoop-dee-doo. Only a minute and a half to load a page.

[alocacoc]

strange. For me everything works fine since yesterday same time.

[MJKT2014]

I'm having problems with True today, numerous web sites taking ages to load, whist router downstream speed is full.

Checked with same laptop on TOT line and not problems.
