DPKANKAN Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 31 minutes ago, KhunBENQ said: Very confusing statement. To measure the speed of your internet connect PC/notebook via cable to the router. You have ONE internet connection to the router. What happens on the two WiFi frequencies (2.4GHz and 5Ghz) and your mobiles is yet another story. On current WiFi you can not achieve/measure the top speeds (500 or 1000)that are offered on fiber anyway. Facts are Facts. Several friends with the same problems. I have many different items I use for checking. The phone and Kindles are not just WiFi slowing down but everything!!! Inter alia it is the Apple 'system' to try to make you buy new products! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More specifically Thai sites but I am having trouble with some O/S sites. Could it be due to the current unrest in Bangkok? Or am I over thinking it and it's really a problem due to weather??? I have fibre with AiS, seems to hang sometimes during the day during mid-morning or evening, mostly ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened with our BBB. 2.4G, slowed. Changed to 5.G slowed again after a year. Now changed to AIS fibre. Better at the moment. Found the same with my Samsung phone after last update. My older Amazon Kindle Tablets have done the same after updates. The new business norm!! ???????????????????????????????? Amazon Kindle tablets slowing down? Huh! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrwebb8825 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Not sure if it's true or not but my wife tells me to condo complex we live in tries to restrict the speed each unit gets going in and out so that people like me don't buy up all the bandwidth. To me this seems far fetched but then again, this IS Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meat Pie 47 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 So you guys think your internet is slow I am in OZ and look at my speed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehippie Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) No, in my experience internet speeds to domestic or US & Europe servers are not bandwidth throttled, at least not with ToT. I use a 500/500Mbps fiber service and speeds to Thai servers are >700Mbps and speeds to US west coast servers using a VPN (Seattle) are > 500Mbps. And bothTrue-internet and 3BB seems to deliver ISP pkg speeds as well. Edited October 23, 2020 by bluehippie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they do block sites but that does not change the speed of the whole internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
