cavanami Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Seems like every few weeks the dipsticks have to mess with the Internet here in LOS The past week, I have to click my way thru timeouts until a connection to the website is finally made, usually 3 ~ 7 times. The sites within LOS seem to be OK, but any site, including Thai360, that is outside LOS will take extra clicks and time before connecting. I am using TOT but tried a friend's wireless internet in his apartment building and the same crap. What's up? censoring? some server with a filter/file list of sites that have forbidden access?

Well...imagine that. Those of us that tire of this highly common [and frequent] activity just go with it. There's nothing one can do, aside from not participating or complying. It's so bladdy universal - the f*ck ups. I reside in Thailand, yet commute frequently throughout Asia and America. Doing extensive online work with Thai-related or Thai-based sites, regardless of where I am, I find that they are the most inconsistent working systems around.

Flashermac Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I tried to log on this morning around 8am to read the board with my cup of coffee. Couldn't connect to the internet. I checked all of my connections ... no problems on my end. Damned True Internet was down! It came back maybe around 9.30am. Nothing to do but wait the bastards out.

Coss Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 But as has been said before, this is why we like Thailand, the consistent f**k ups are part and parcel of the rich tapestry that is life in LOS and that contrasts so vividly with life in the wasteland...

khunsanuk Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hi, "this is why we like Thailand" Uh... no, it's not Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Me was just stretching the little bit of gray matter between me ears, wondering why? Is it some new censorship being implemented? Is there a main server broken at some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hi, My guess it is a combination of ineptide, ignorance and just plain not giving a fuck. Years ago I spoke to the guy who had just taken over as head of technology at KSC (whatever happened to them?). He asked the staff to show him the load on the different internet servers, what the got was a lot of blank stares. Nobody had any idea about how much load each of the servers had, let alone about load balancing. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Some years back the Bangkok Post had a write up on the ISPs and how much money they made. As I recall, only one was in the black - Loxinfo. All the rest were losing money. No surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rookie Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 ...<snip>..Is it some new censorship being implemented? Censorship...or more likely Thai incompetence. To no ones surprise, it's not just random failed connections but also the sporadic regulation of BitTorrent connections. http://wiki.vuze.com/w/Bad_ISPs OTOH, maybe much of the problems are with the user's particular ISP? I've been with BBB (formerly TT&T) for 6-years and _rarely_ have had a problem with connections or torrent d/l's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
