lowprofile Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I'm moving back to Paklok in April and will need internet. Does anyone have experience of the different providers in the area, please? Currently using True down in Chalong but it can be very bad at times.. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eisfeld Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I'm also in Pa Khlok and have 3BB. It's decent. Haven't had really outages in quite a while but in the evening hours now in high season it can be a bit spotty. They seem to route everything through an HTTP proxy which mucks things up every now and then. Hit refresh 3 times and the page loads again. If going through a VPN or HTTPS the issue goes away... this should be a general issue for 3BB though, not specific to the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sausage911 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Do any of you living in pa knlok know where I can take empty can and bottles for recycling? Thanks J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I use TOT, which is the only option for me. Plenty of problems. For recycling, put the bottles and cans to separate plastic bags and the trash collectors take care of at least the cans (they get some extra money for recycling the cans).

hitthegroundrunning Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I use true and I'm in paklok, near the circle, works great. Use Netflix almost every day and streams perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Mango Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Dam , im not far from you and called into true only last week and they said no cannot do ;-( Stuck with TOT crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitthegroundrunning Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Update... Since replying to this thread we've had an outage every month with True. Having one now. Probably why they said no to hooking you up. Even though I've asked for causes, I never get an answer. I know they are doing a lot of work to the electricity cables above ground near Boat lagoon, maybe having an impact somehow. We're thinking of changing...how's TOT going for you?

Old Croc Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Agree. Myself and a neighbor both changed from TOT to 3BB a couple of years ago. Both happy. I've never since had to call for service from 3BB and my speed has increased beyond what I'm paying for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitthegroundrunning Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 If we get cut off again, I'll change, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Check out the new 3bb VDSL. On Monday I called out 3BB as we were experiencing problems. After checking the line the Engineer took one look at our older D-Link router and recommended we get a 3BB router and change our service to VDSL. So we nipped right down to 3BB Chalong, changed from out 13M/1M costing about 960 baht to 30M/5M costing 590 baht/month. VDSL router cost 1,000 baht. Next day we were on the new system. Wonderful speed and save money. For 690 baht can get 50M/5M but our area does not support the higher speed, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had no issues whatsoever recently with 3BB in Pa Khlok. Full 50mbit/s down with VDSL. The work on the cables in that area don't affect me at all.

hitthegroundrunning Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Another update... Our True internet cut out every day, I gave up and cancelled. 3BB is now installed and so far so good. Thanks for the tips. Merry Chrimbo.

eisfeld Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 3BB recently had huge issues with their DNS servers. Also their routes to Europe seem to be exhausted during high season (not the first time). A friend with AIS fiber gets a full 100mbyte/s from the same location that I get a non-consistent 100kbyte/s. That's a factor 1000 speed difference. It's not all rosy in 3BB land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
