Guest Posted May 27, 2002 Report Share Posted May 27, 2002 I currently dialup on a 56K modem to the internet. Right now, I do not even realize the full speed of the modem when I access sites outside of Thailand. Inside Thailand things runs at full speed, but it seems the connection to the outside is severely overloaded. So I am considering trying ADSL on a Telecom Asia line. But I am wondering if this will even help at all if the connection ends up through the same overloaded connection. Anyone with broadband have any experience with the effective speed you get browsing sites outside Thailand relative to a regular modem? If you have broadband, go to a command prompt and type "tracert yahoo.com" and post the results. I would be very interested to see this. Here is what I get: 1 137 ms 151 ms 137 ms pm4-l1.ksc.net.th 2 137 ms 151 ms 137 ms 203.155.35.253 3 151 ms 137 ms 138 ms gw-l1.ksc.net.th [203.155.35.126] 4 412 ms 426 ms 481 ms 202.47.252.193 5 * * * Request timed out. 6 989 ms * 852 ms 202.47.253.246 7 769 ms * 769 ms 500.POS1-3.IG3.SAC1.ALTER.NET [157.130.213.13] 8 * * 755 ms 0.so-0-1-0.XR1.SAC1.ALTER.NET [152.63.54.122] 9 783 ms 879 ms 920 ms 0.so-0-0-0.XL1.SAC1.ALTER.NET [152.63.53.237] 10 * 810 ms 782 ms POS6-0.BR5.SAC1.ALTER.NET [152.63.52.225] 11 1153 ms 1140 ms * atm3-0.core2.SanFrancisco1.Level3.net [166.90.50.133] 12 1181 ms 1030 ms * so-4-1-0.mp2.SanFrancisco1.Level3.net [209.247.10.237] 13 1181 ms 1208 ms * so-2-0-0.mp2.SanJose1.Level3.net [64.159.0.218] 14 * * 1195 ms gige10-0.ipcolo4.SanJose1.Level3.net [64.159.2.42] 15 * 755 ms * cust-int.level3.net [64.152.81.62] 16 742 ms * * ge-2-3-0.msr2.pao.yahoo.com [216.115.101.46] 17 * 782 ms 756 ms vl11.bas2.scd.yahoo.com [66.218.64.138] 18 * * 769 ms w2.rc.scd.yahoo.com [66.218.71.113] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danish30 Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 I'm using the cable modem from TA. At this time I cannot recomend it, seems like for the past month it's been really slow in response times. You will have the bandwidth available, but response is slow, it is ok and fast for large downloads but almost as slow as modem for normal surfing. I think you will get the same performance with ADSL from TA. Here are my ping times for a tracert to yahoo.com, done same time as post (I will try at a different time to compare the results) 2 18 ms 19 ms 20 ms ppp-203.144.192.237.revip.asianet.co.th [203.144 .192.237] 3 13 ms 24 ms 27 ms ppp-203.144.144.157.revip.asianet.co.th [203.144 .144.157] 4 15 ms 21 ms 20 ms ppp-203.144.144.2.revip.asianet.co.th [203.144.1 44.2] 5 133 ms 132 ms 132 ms 210.182.0.193 6 543 ms 591 ms 643 ms sel12012gw2-ge5-0.rt.bora.net [210.120.192.136] 7 761 ms 753 ms 719 ms 203.255.234.194 8 773 ms 723 ms 738 ms 203.255.234.37 9 737 ms 710 ms 748 ms 210.107.53.10 10 735 ms 752 ms 805 ms ge-2-3-0.msr2.pao.yahoo.com [216.115.101.46] 11 734 ms 775 ms 740 ms vl11.bas2.scd.yahoo.com [66.218.64.138] 12 729 ms 748 ms * yahoo.com [66.218.71.112] 13 751 ms 769 ms 718 ms yahoo.com [66.218.71.112] Best regards, Danish30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 My apologies for my technical ignorance. But I'm speculating that any broadband you have in Thailand is all gonna be "bottlenecked" by the trans-pacific line? And if you're mostly surfing websites that are hosted in the US, it's not really gonna matter how fast your connection is unless you're surfing Thai sites. Am I wrong? Basically, I'm wondering how fast of a connection you can get in bkk surfing/dling US sites. I've used a cable connection before at a buddy's house in bkk DLing the latest OSX update. It was DLing around 25k-30k/sec. When I got back to the states, on my DSL it was 130k-150k/sec. So I'm wondering, how fast can you get with broadband in LOS?

Guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 if you're mostly surfing websites that are hosted in the US, it's not really gonna matter how fast your connection is... That is precisely the question I am trying to answer. I don't give a rat's arse how fast Thai hosted sites run because I don't go to any. I am interested in USA sites only. For reference, I downloaded the 10MB musicmatch on a 50K modem connection and it was a 3 hour, 0.8K/sec per second ordeal. If I could have just gotten what the modem was capable of it would have taken under 30 minutes. I can only imagine how frustrated I would be if I had the same results with a super fast and expensive ADSL solution. A good tool is http://www.tracert.com where you can run tracert from anywhere in the world. From San Jose, it only takes 2ms to hit yahoo. It takes me around 900ms or packets timeout through KSC.
