My internet has been down for long periods today, and is now up but slow and flaky.  I've heard someone say there was a major problem all over Northern Thailand, but haven't seen any reference online (in the odd moment it has been working).  Anyone heard anything?

Report about TOT being down here.

 

In Jomtien, TOT on and off all day. DSL light stays on so its out in the broader network.

3BB running as normal in CM...whatever "normal" is...lol

3BB is fine here , anyone with a TOT line is gambling every day .  

 

Hi,

TOT was down, almost 1 or 2 hours, following cable cut in the South, near Prachab Kirikan, because to the floods. Up and running around 4.45PM, slow access to International nevertheless.

 

3bb was not impacted.

 

Phil.

Thanks folks.  I'll stop rebooting then...

My 3BB is generally ok but has been running a lot slower today.      TOT....I wouldn't use them if they paid me !

Friend of mine called me today saying his TOT was crapomulleh. He rung help desk in BKK and was told due to the flooding in the South the cable connection  was causing country wide problems.

 

According to what he was told/read all other network providers use TOT foe Internet access.  I told hom that's a load of BS as I'm on 3bb and don't have a problem.  Perhaps this is yet another government load of BS in them trying to cover up poor service?

International connection provider is CAT, not TOT.

Not that it's any better.

It's increasingly difficult for Thai ISPs to use any other provider AFAIK. Always has been, but with the single gateway thing cooking up, it's becoming a no-no.

I take that back!  We have big problems with 3BB now , DNS server is not responding is all I get , all websites down except Google.com .  

 

Luckily I use a VPN service so I can bypass it .   No need to call customer service , they are probably working on it....

 

My SINET was down

But is now super fast more than before

Had a couple-of-hours outage on 3BB here in Mae-Jo, yesterday late-afternoon.

 

And a longer one the day before  ...

This morning it's much faster so they must have done something....

 

I haven't had internet for weeks!!!  I emailed the customer service rep and he laughed.  how rude!!!  i got him on chat and skype now, but he's not helping!!!!

Repair work on a collapsed brigde in the south finished due to the catastrophic flooding.

Major fiber cables of ToT torn apart as described in post #6.

 

There are at least three parallel threads on that now.

Best continue in the thread suggested in post #2.

 

Not Chiang Mai specific.
