Tot Adsl Not Working Good

[wincen]

I have never seen it act ths way. Its took five minutes for this site to connect but some sites are fast.

My lime wire worrks fast google thailand is fast but yahoo and hot mail and tvguide.com take for ever.

when I start my pler stars software it showa 100% good cannection to all servers across the world but still takes five minutes to start. once started it works fine.

Ive never seen it act this way.

Anyone else notice a change?

[Artisan]

Yes, it's aggravating isn't it? You beat me by 1 minute. I live in Pattaya, use TOT CyberGold ADSL and it took 6 minutes before ThaiVisa started to open. Every page on ThaiVisa was just as slow. Trying to open Yahoo or Yahoo mail is a non-event. As you say, many sites open instantaneously whereas, for others, I have to wait an eternity.

Does anyone have any similar experience with other ADSL providers?

[Brew]

There seem to be problems with PHP pages.

HTML pages and PHP pages with URL rewrite seem to work fine.

I bypass this problem by using JAP

Same issues with TOT IP-star (satellite connection), at this very moment as I reply it seems to improve though! anyone else experiencing this?

[penzman]

Same issue here. TOT 1024/512. Some websites in North America open instantly, others take a while. Bangkok based websites take forever...

We could not connect at all yesterday until just now. I went outside to take a look at the telephone line's junction box thinking it may have water in it. Turns out it looked like it was done by a 7 year old with a missing arm and leg with an eye patch.

The WASHER should be PRESSING DOWN on the UNBROKEN wires. Pffff...

Fixed that and was able to connect afterwards but randomly slow.

TOT ADSL CyberGold very slow in Phathumthani as well. Like most of you, some web pages open at normal speed, others such as Yahoo, Thaivisa, etc. having been taking 10+ minutes to open for the past few days. Phoned TOT today, and as expected they stated they would forward this to their technicians and phone back. That was 7-Hours ago

I’m currently using a satellite connection from a provider in Dubai and have had the same problems your Thai connections have experienced over the past few days. Pages were slow to open noticeably with TV, the TV page hangs as the ads load. I find I need to refresh the page to get past that stage it the connection is slow.

I contacted my provider last night seeking answers to the problems.

The response today from their manager was “….Thanks for the email. Please be advised that our Internet Link does not support 100% link quality with Skype as this is a VOIP mostly during weekends (lot of traffics) as for the MSN messenger, if there is a lot of traffics, intermittent loss of link occurs, other ISP providers also experienced the same what we are experiencing……”

It looks like it isn’t just a Thai problem.

[giulio]

tot adsl have some heavy problem

before 4 day ago,i never complain

i'm very happy

but starting 4 day ago,beginning big problem

I thinks its more a case of spike in traffic with the current news, would want to be some major gremlins in the sys for it to be a problem across the globe, i'm in CM and over the last 48hrs with a connection thats generally very fast, I have had as many chances of ascessing sites from my toaster as I do from my l'top

Everything seems fine now but it's 5:50 a.m. It will probably choke again later this morning.

I've just downloaded an 8 meg file under a minute

[wrestler7902002]

Hello everyone. Same same problem here. I live in Jomtien and signed up with TOT Cybergold ADSL service about 3 weeks ago (1024kb in download and 512 kb in upload) and it worked fine for the first week. But during the last few days, so many problems. A lot of websites take forever to download while others are rather quick. I used the Speedtest today and download around 850 kbps and upload around 64 kbps). I never get the 512 kbps uploading. I'm lucky if I ever get 250 kbps uploading.

MSN Messenger has not worked for the last 2 days. For other websites, I must double or triple click my mouse just for the darn site to start working.

What gives?

Kinda reminds me of TOT free internet service.....including all the problems.

I know that TOT will do the right thing and not charge us all for the complete 1,000 baht a month charge......yea, right. Keep on dreaming.

What's the contact number for TOT ADSL in Pattaya? I'd like to voice my complaint along with many of you.

Sawatdee Krap, almog_thai and Giulio.

I feel the pain that both of you and countless others are experiencing with the degraded adsl connection and service from TOT.

What nerve for that TOt representative to say that CyberGold is already cheap. Let me just say that in other countries, American for instance, much faster DSL service from Verizon can be had for less than 800 baht per month.

I doubt very much that the problem with some websites loading fairly quickly while other websites take minutes to download is a problem of our telephone wiring going bad all of a sudden.

This problem has been going on for several days and the TOT representative should be more sympathetic to the continuing disruption of adsl service and should at least listen to what is actually going on with the service they provide and not answer with the "no problem, we turn ADSL off for you" attitude.

But what other options are open? There are other DSL services in Thailand that run a lot faster than TOT Cybergold.....but the price is probably 2 or 3 times higher.

My TOT 500 Baht 256/128 package in Phuket works fine. I've no complaints.

I hear lots of complaints about Cybergold, so it doesn't seem worth upgrading.

Spent all morning trying to upload a FTP file (2 meg or so)..

Web pages are loading.. Some odd delays where a page takes multiple seconds to start to load but then comes in fast.. But FTP upload just freezes and breaks..

[whooliggen]

anyone any the wiser about how long the service is likely to be this shoddy? Or is that like asking the length of a piece of string question?

Thailand...Livin' it & lovin' it for all its madness and chaos.

Hoping it sorts itself out soon...

p.s. tot cybergold 1024/256 Lat hrao area of bkk..normally very happy with service but same as most of you fairly non existent service for days now...

TOT ADSL is now OK. Sites opening instantaneously and transfer speed fast. Whatever the problem was, it has been resolved....for me that is!!!
