Starting two days ago, the response time to any action on thaivisa has gotten very slow, as slow as I used to experience on it ten years ago. Pages take 15 seconds to load. I use some pretty high end computers and very fast internet connections here in the USA both at work and at my home. I access it both via firefox and IEexplorer. I have not changed any settings.

Seems OK at the moment from inside Thailand (Phuket).

Perhaps the Asia-America Gateway has been clobbered. Again.

OR maybe it's the current maintenance:

Interesting reference because the cable damage is between Hong Kong and Singapore! That's a long way. I can imagine other traffic being routed that would cause effects also and the post has some connection maps in it.

Thanks

Speed seems back to normal at the moment.

Mine was OK yesterday, but very bad right now, I also keep getting "no data received" notices.

I have been getting the same thing today. Even lost a post because of it.

Since 1300 today it has been total slowdown lane from USA access - Hamster feed needed.

I was completely down for a while.

Back up for a few minutes now.

Here is some Hamster power!

Ps. Likewise others, I got error messages that the server is down.

It seems to have worked - new life in the hamster now.
