3BB slowed to a crawl

I live in south Pattaya and yesterday and today the Internet speed has slowed to a crawl in the afternoon. Anyone experiencing the same problem? 

Yes can't even play a YouTube video.

Wonder what's going on. I have called 3BB twice and they have not mentioned anything about an area wide problem. Have run numerous speed tests and testing against a Bangkok server gives normal results but anything abroad is uselessly slow.

yes! my 3BB fibre optic is down to a crawl and my TOT fibre optic is at 25% speed (both international access). domestic access is fast.

Are we perhaps seeing the implementation of that wonderful brain fart child of the illustrious junta leader,  the "Single Gateway"? Let's hope the explanation is not as serious.

Must be great fun using TV then with its bandwidth-zapping ads. :saai: Use my phone's 4G as backup, which is actually quicker than the wired service I'm on... activate hotspot.

What kind of Internet package have you got for your phone?

Mine is back to normal now. 

 

Thank God for that!

Still slow as heck this morning:sad:

In Jomtien my 3BB ADSL is normal and has been for weeks.

All good on the darkside.

 

(3BB is also functioning normally)

3BB still a crawl, TOT back to normal. location "slightly" darkside :smile:

There may be some slowdowns as a result of the rupture of a major undersea cable linking SEA and the States. The cursed Asia America Gateway broke again on the weekend, second time this year. It broke 3-4 times last year. No word on repairs yet but it sometimes takes a week to 10 days due to sea conditions, etc.

Jomtien 3BB fibre terrible for last few days.

My 3BB is back to normal on Pratumnak now. Phew!
