AIS Fibrenet terrible slow

[hadock]

Hello,

since one month i have now AIS fibrenet 20/7 Mbit, and i can only say it is terrible. Before i had a 13 Mbit TOT connection, which was a way faster.

At this moment 2.45 pm i can not hear interent radio and surfing internet at the the same time. In the evening between 6 pm and 10 pm it is more worth.

In the recent days i can´t even open some regular websides anymore, or it take at least very long time.

Of course, if i do the speed test within Thailand it shows always the exact speed of 20/7 Mbit, like promised. But when i make a speedtest with testmy.net to a server in

Hong Kong DL 5 Mbit UL 634kb/s

Europe London DL 2,7 Mbit UL 1,8 Mbit

USA San Francisco DL 2,7 Mbit UL 1,9 Mbit

So i call AIS now and will complain, but I am worry they will send a technician, who will run the speedtest in thailand. If he see the results he say everything is fine mister.

Any idea how to handle this?

Thank you

Alex

It's not just AIS. The entire international gateway is shlthouse for 2 weeks already.

If Hong Kong is faster, try to use a hong kong vpn.

5mbit still better than nothing.

you can get 500mb/month free from vypr vpn to test it.

Btw my True docsis 30/3 mbit works just fine.

Thanks to singapore private vpn.

Tests from my nas connected to openvpn.

I complained to True last week that I was getting very very slow Internet. They came and fixed it last Tuesday.

Now just as slow again.

TIT I guess.

No public vpn service will give you max. performance.

You need to get a vps for $5 / month at digitalocean singapore.

Install openvpn access-server very very easily

setup and use it.

there are tutorials for this.

thank you...

Maxing out download speed.

Why use a VPN?

Why use a VPN?

Is that a rhetorical question?

To improve internet speed of course.

Traffic between Singapore and Thailand is either not throttled or throttled slightly less.

From Singapore to rest of the world speed is usually better than Thailand <-> Rest of the World

It was simply a question from one non computer internet techy TV poster to another techy TV poster. I'm still not 100% sure how it works to attain higher speeds. Surely by sending via another companies servers is going to slow it down.. Or is that once it's at that server it then has access to faster more efficient services (gateways?)

[muratremix]

As I explained, most Thai ISPs don't throttle / limit your connection speed against Singapore. When you use Singapore vpn, your speed increases.

However, don't expect huge speed increase in public / commercial vpn services like HMA, PIA etc.

Pretty much my experience; I time-stamp it with the tropical depression Vamco that dumped loads of rain about 3 weeks ago? I am with 3BB in east Pattaya and didn't lose internet connectivity during the storms and floods but it's been ratshit ever since.

The only thing that usually works for a spell is to cycle power on my modem and routers every morning while the kettle's boiling.
