Ships Begin To Fix Damaged Internet Cables

[Tywais]

My ping times:

Bangkok from Chiangmai University is 22 msec.

To Thaivisa it is 62 msec.

To a few sites I tested in the US, 1.5 seconds - normally would be around 300 msecs.

100mbps university backbone, 62mbps university to Bangkok pipe.

TRUE adsl Bangkok 512/256 circuit

413/206

Have done several times tonight and speeds are as good or better than normal. But the circuit is marginal as every 3rd or 4th time lose server, never loads, never completes load. It took two tries to get speed test both times I did it tonight. There must be a huge bit bucket out there tonight.

With all that bandwidth tied up in speed tests, no wonder it's slow for the rest of us. Stop it already!

Upload Speed: 34 kbps (4.3 KB/sec transfer rate)

True ADSL 256K connection. It's not as fast on week days, though.

I play World of Warcraft on a french server based in Germany. On good days the latency is 500 to 750 ms playable if not perfect, today 1800 to 2600... unplayable.

I tried your speed test.... Last Result:

Download Speed: 200 kbps (25 KB/sec transfer rate)

Upload Speed: 47 kbps (5.9 KB/sec transfer rate)

But prefere to use http://www.speedtest.net/index.php

hey mods, about time to close this one, don't you think?

give everyone else a chance with the bandwidth.

The download and upload speeds do say something, but the "round trip" of a ping test is what I use to test different Web sites.

All US sites that I've accessed give round trip pings of 400 plus milliseconds. Usually between 500 and 1000 with plenty of time outs.

ThaiVisa round trips are around 50 milliseconds. Local servers around 20 milliseconds.

I use TT&T and CAT broadband services. The TT&T is currently the better of the 2 although it's the slower service when both are functioning to full capacity.

I'am in Pattaya and CAT as provider

but it doesn't mean anything if you don't know where is the test server..., you should try one local, one in the states,one in japan, one in europe.... and don't forget that Thailand (CAT monopole ) have less international bandwith than vietnam..., so traffic jams happens too...

Hi,

Here in Jomtien using CAT telecom on 2mbit connection:

results are:

Download Speed: 1633 kbps (204.1 KB/sec transfer rate)

Upload Speed: 547 kbps (68.4 KB/sec transfer rate)

results are not as bad as they have been this past week, trying to read emails, etc was a nightmare with at least 10 minutes between connections and actualy getting thte email open.

I use the same service. These figures don't tell the true picture. You need to test your speeds to US and European sites to really know what's going on...and they are all still very slow.

Do a ping test to specific US sites and see what you get. Most sites I test are recording well above 400ms round trips...averaging over 600ms.

well I'm getting jealouse when I red some speads ...

I have goldcyber 1024/512 from TOT on phuket

but get about 250 down and 340 up ?? everytime i do the test this already 2 weeks

I don't have to run a speed test to figure out that internet connections are still screwed. My high 1024/512 connection still downloads at 6 k a second and pages open after trying the links a few times, if I'm lucky. They did say 3 weeks.
