Sluggish internet speed when viewing Thai Visa

[yogi100]

I am finding Thai Visa very slow and unresponsive compared to other websites even in the dead of night when traffic is slow. Any ideas on how to improve matters please.

 

I seem to spend as much time watching the little blue wheel going round and round as I do reading the articles and replying to posts!

have to agree, forever having to refresh  to try to actually get to the page I want, then you get the message this page cant be reached or not responding, happens a real lot. I understand that the new website takes a while to get working but this has now been ongoing for a fair while, then you also find that you cannot post any comments at times as well, problems seem to be constantly happening

 TD i am in Issan and TV is so slow these days.

Some days it is really bad, others not too bad but always slow.

[Tech Doctor]

Yes I am hearing that at the moment. I've just arrived in UK for a week and TV is faster here even though we host in Singapore. 

 

I am investigating. So you use TV around 10pm thai time?

I'm in London using Virgin Media which is meant to be one of the fastest speeds available.

I just did a speed test at 4.45 am.

DL speed 52.81

UL speed 2.93

TV is very quick only sometimes slow from time to time anytime but l put it down to traffic I find watching the little blue wheel going round and round sends me to sleep.  

 

My main annoyance is I keep getting redirected and interrupted with ads from other web sites on TV but l think it may be my computer has been corrupted in some way,  although it doesn't seem to happen on other sites asked on TV IT forum if anyone could help, no response.  

 

I am in Sukhothai on True cable at 8 ms nearly 40 Mbps & 3.25 Mbps most of the time served from CM.

It's now 5.54 am GMT and it takes 10 - 12 seconds between clicks. It's much slower in the daytime.

Hi @yogi100

 

Ill be monitoring and using the forum over the next week from the UK so, ill keep an eye on the speed.

I shut down my PC for a bit which usually speeds things up but it has not done so in the case of Thai Visa. It's still sluggish compared to other sites and if anything it's worse! I'm using a two year old Acer laptop with W 10.

[Tech Doctor]

Hi,

 

I am working on the site tonight 4pm UK thai 10pm Thai time, we hope to try and resolve why these issues are happening with the senior development team at Invision. I'll keep you posted.

Same problem in Samui. So some time I give up, and sometimes its OK !

[Tech Doctor]

Hi,

 

@Tchooptip - is that around this time you find it sluggish or other times? I will need a little more details from members around what time etc they find it slow and where they are in thailand or the the world. Im trying to map out locations and times and correlate to logs etc.

 

From the UK it is flying so need to think about Thailands connectivity.

I'm in the UK and it's like a tortoise. Some of it may be to do with my PC because other sites, the Daily Mail for example also takes a long time to respond but that's full of pictures while TV is not.

 

TV is even slower than the DM there's definitely something wrong somewhere

I compare it with IMDB and some other Thai based forums and they respond in about 3  or 4 seconds. TV can be so frustrating I just give up sometimes especially when the internet is busy.

 

Our Indian summer is over down South as well.

 

I just restarted my PC hoping it would be better, that's why it took me so long to get back to you.

It's bearable right now (8.20 am) but just gets too frustrating as the day wears on and more people are using their computers or on the internet with their phones and tablets etc.

It's 7.47 pm and it's a lot better, about 5 seconds between clicks. Have you done something to it?

 

If you have Cheers!

I'm in the Isaan near Korat and have a pretty fast internet connection.  I have to say that previous to your 'upgrade' of TV it was as fast as any other site.  But since you have 'improved' it, quite frankly it has been a disaster and a geriatric snail would beat it for speed.  I give up on it now most of the time.

[Tech Doctor]

Hi,

 

Yes at certain times we are seeing high load, we are awaiting approval of the loadbalanced infrastructure which should allow the geriatric snail to get a wheelchair.

Sorry I haven't seen your answer so my late's one has nothing to do with a sluggish TV

I'm in Samui a rather good connection that's allows me to watch streaming movies easily, this morning 10/11 o'clock almost impossible to join TV, right now 14:45 h, perfect!

[thaibeachlovers]

Sorry to say this, but the functionality of TV is DIRE. It's worse than before the upgrade. I'm currently in Pattaya, but even up north it wasn't great. I reckon it's getting even slower.

I am on a different provider now, but response time is the same on both.

Time of day doesn't make any difference, as I am often on it morning, noon and night.

 

Also, there are lots of problems using TV. Sometimes when typing a reply it just goes back to the forum header and I have to spend lots of time just getting back to where I was.

 

Different question.

In the My Activity is there any way to put all the replies on one thread into one box, like they used to be when it was My Content? It's a drag having to scroll through every reply I made, especially when it takes time to change pages.

 

Sorry to be negative, but it's a real drag having to wait so long to find a thread and then reply. I know it's just TV because every other web site I use is pretty much instantaneous.

[thaibeachlovers]

If I had any hair, I'd be pulling it out in frustration. I wrote a reply, then wanted to edit it. It took about 2 minutes each time I tried to do anything, and 3 times it went back to the forum headers, so I had to start again. Twice it went to blank screen and informed me that there was a problem with the web site, then there was a long running script that held me up, so I had to access TV forum from scratch.

A few years ago I don't remember any of these problems.

I'm having real problems with TV opening posts and Tapatalk ain't brilliant either

Sorry TD, it has nothing to do with the time of the day when one accesses or tries to access TV, it is slow slow slow whenever and I've given up trying to use it.
