Slow internet the last couple of days

[thailauren]

Has anyone noticed a marked reduction in internet speeds over the last couple of days. I wonder if the single gateway matter has something to do with it. I am on 3bb.

[MESmith]

torrents working fine. other stuff, esp Facebook very slow. TOT

[peterjackson]

Very slow and sporadic at Chiang Mai gate since Sunday morning. Supposed to be True 10/2 Mbps

[MadMac]

Yes, it dropped down yesterday. Bit better now. Big Firewall that profits everybody in the making.

[worgeordie]

Yes ,having difficulty streaming from some sites,maybe they are testing

the Great firewall of Thailand,and slower Internet is what we will have to

look forward to.unless there is a cable that has broken in the middle of

the Ocean again.

The undersea internet cable is broken again near Hong Kong. Repairs are supposed to start tomorrow (29th), and will take one week or so... depending on the weather. More details here:

I am in BKK and have 35Mbps Cable and the last 3 days it has been shocking. Most sites load temperamentally and speeds test vary minute to minute but often less than 0.5Mbps.

I called true and they said something about a technician looking today, i had a call but I was at work. Got home hoping they looked at local street but no change.

Will cancel my package tomorrow and move it to a cheaper one as I am not paying nearly 2000tbh a month for this, disgrace.

[Bpuumike]

In BKK on DTAC and yes, very slow these past few days.

Your speed must be really slow. That article was from 2014! Lol

[northernjohn]

Mine is hit or miss on the speed. But for the last three days True has been down for about an hour each day.

True for me, (either way you take it) it plummeted at about 8.45pm last night to near zero to a UK server.

Did a internet pathway check last night to find that my Ture internet now goes thru CAT most of the time , (http://www.telecomasia.net/content/thailand-army-top-brass-head-cat-board) before leaving the Country ..the Army Info-wall is underway ..welcome to 1984

[StefanBBK]

Sporadic at best since a couple days. Bangkok True ADSL.

[peterjackson]

It would appear the underwater cable damage was reported on the 22nd, yet most people didn't report speed issues until the 27th. I presume the authorities are doing 'testing' and hiding behind the damaged cable as a cover for their 'testing'.

[TravelerEastWest]

I have 3BB premier and the speed seems to be normal.

[Cake Monster]

Its all about making you believe that your ISP provider is haveing probs.

I have been noticeing things for several months now.

Poor conectivity, slow speed, portals closed Etc

[dominique355]

I have AIS fiber optic package and the speed test to the AIS server is fine during week days.

But what sucks are the international connections. My mailserver is located in Europe and I am having real problems getting my mail. On Sunday I usually watch Formula 1 with my tablet showing the timing from a server in the UK. The app could not connect during most of the race.

So there must be more than the HK cable broken. Big Brother?

[WilliamSmits]

Same same in Beijing. Last few days nearly impossible to use skype

[Si Thea01]

Yes, has been this way for the past two weeks for me, am also with 3BB and in Loei province. Not being fully computer illiterate I don't know the mb's I am on but it is the B610 a month package and is a broadband connection with wireless router. Some days it has taken at least ten minutes to get going, other days I give up and shut down or restart a number of times without any satisfaction. Today, it is quite quick and no problems at this stage other than I find it slower when opening posts on TVF. Have no idea why and cannot get a satisfactory answer form 3BB as to why.

Added.

Just did a check on my internet speed and these results came up. Maybe some can explain this as I really do not have a clue to this jargon. Download speed: 1.51 mbps. Upload speed:0.51mbps.

Latency:204ms and jitter:2ms. I don't know but it doesn't look a lot. Is this poor, average or reasonable? Thanks for any information.

I just checked my 3BB speed- it's usually about 30mb but today it's 23mb- slower than usual, but certainly not 'slow'.

[LivinLOS]

Something is definitely up...

I am noticing youtube effected, less in the ability to stream and more in a huge delay (like 10 - 20 seconds) starting embedded YT clips and weird things like loss of control pop ups..

That kind of thing doesnt seem broken cable related.. Someones playing with the switches !!

[dotpoom]

No change with my speed....it's been slow for the past 14 years?

[AlQaholic]

Blame the cable damage on the Illegal Thai bottom scraping fishing trawlers.....

[FangFerang]

Hilariously and ironically, clicking the link to the this article timed out twice, declared connection reset, fourth time was a charm. Word is that the internet at immigration is slow too, causing more than usual delays and headaches.

[bangkapi]

The Daily Mail website seems to have a problem these days.

I had the same thing, this article timed out twice. Others here have not opened today or if posting a comment all but one have timed out. On TOT and live north of Chiang Rai..

[khunPer]

From Samui the Internet speed is extremely slow on some sites, while others in same country/region are very fast. I’m on TOT, ADSL cable. Speed measured at local proxy is normal, so probably some routing problems. In my end (Samui/Surat Thani) for example Thai Visa works excellent fast, but Facebook (unreachable) slow in periods (could be their server); also other sites unreachable or extremely slow in long periods.

[craig]

very slow down here near Sattahip....facebook down, yahoo mail just came back..

[mcfish]

Im in Bangkok and TOT is a crawl with some websites eg Facebook. TV though is lightning fast
