tweezer Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Hi, Is anyone else having trouble with google sites now (6-May 10:30 AM Thailand)? I cannot access/connect to/ping: mail.google.com imap.gmail.com smtp.gmail.com gmail.com youtube.com google.com connects intermittently I am using 3BB fiber in Bangkok. I set my DNS servers to Opendns addresses to no avail. Other sites like Thaivisa (obviously), yahoo.com, cnn.com, reddit.com, etc seem to be OK (maybe a little slow). Let me know if this is just me or is everyone having trouble. Thanks! T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Google specific problems with TOT-ADSL / Phuket Things do work, but there are outages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmaxdan Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 No YouTube, Google hit and miss for me, Chiang Mai on 3BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthailand2006 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I'm on 3bb as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janclaes47 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Just wanted to start a thread about, in Pattaya on 3BB. Not only Google but also Lazada and probably other sites as well. Changed DNS servers already to Google DNS, which improved it a little, but clearly something going on her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweezer Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Is anybody on a service other than 3BB having this problem? Is TOT/True etc working? Funny how non google sites work but the loading wheels keep spinning. Probably because google has fingers all over most websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phukettrader Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Me too. Cannot access Youtube and some other sites slow/unresponsive. 3BB fiber and ADSL in Chiangmai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweezer Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 FYI.... I connected my laptop to the personal hotspot on my iphone, which uses AIS, and everything works now. Looks like this is a 3BB issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalbanana Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Same here, cannot access Google and Youtube on 3BB but its OK thro a VPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 ping mail.google.com 75 ms (216.58.221.37) ping imap.gmail.com 38 ms (74.125.130.109) ping smtp.gmail.com 38 ms (74.125.68.108) ping gmail.com 75 ms (216.58.221.37) ping youtube.com 43 ms (74.125.68.91) ping google.com 44 ms (74.125.130.139) (all in the region. Singapore or Hong Kong?) ToT fiber in the sticks. gmail, youtube and google open fine in the browser. Must be a specific/temporary problem. I should mention that during the last days I had short (couple of minutes) complete outages. DNS server not reachable or so even though the router says PPoE OK, Now you can speculate that they are fiddling/struggling to get blocking unwanted content under control Be prepared for Facebook problems.

Guest Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Works now for me as well. google.com: 76.228 ms mail.google.com: 106.210 ms imap.gmail.com: 72.301 ms smtp.gmail.com: 84.446 ms gmail.com: 109.373 ms youtube.com: 124.620 ms Little script to do similar test with Linux/OSX SITES="google.com mail.google.com imap.gmail.com smtp.gmail.com gmail.com youtube.com" for site in $SITES do printf "$site: \t\t" ; ping -c 1 $site | grep "time" | cut -f4 -d\= ; done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 AIS Fiber-Bangkok Had problems before, all is well now. Think this may be a result of the Government/NBTC's edict yesterday to scrub the internet of objectionable content? http://www.nationmultimedia.com/news/business/EconomyAndTourism/30314251 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Ray Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I'm on 3BB in Chiangmai, just run the script only google.com connects. All other services unobtainable. Works OK on my phone through True mobile data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assurancetourix Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Sakon Nakhon province; 3BB connexion by WiMax; No Gmail but Google works; No Y-tube but my few other sites works well; for me it's a Google problem, not a 3BB's one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somtamnication Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Not if you can access via vpn. It has to be either Thailand or other external factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assurancetourix Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I don't know anything about computer; VPN and so on.. I tried to use TOR but I forget my Gmail password; I'm there since so many years , changed the password sometimes but forgot to write the new password somewhere.. so I cannot access to my mails. Waiting for the time it will work again; it's not important; I was living nearly 50 years without a computer and internet; No problem if we return to the age of stones...

deecypher Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I can confirm that 3BB here in Rayong is suffering the same problem. Connecting via VPN or 4G is fine. For those who need help, download the Opera browser for the meantime, it has a VPN built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKASA Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I had issues all morning with 3bb with most everything but it got better and was down to only imap.googlemail in thunderbird not working, but it was fine in dtac if I hotspotted for it on my phone - after a short loss of internet completely on 3bb router a while ago - everything is now restored - fingers crossed - it seems to be a short term and random area problem.

The Play Store is a Google service, so it is likely down too. On iOS, there is Opera VPN, which will sort you out. Not sure if it's available on the Play Store (which you would have to access via cellular connection, or non-3BB wifi network) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trujillo Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I don't think it's 3BB because I can open gmail in Opera browser but not in Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
