Anyone having problems with TOT?

[iammike]

This morning, I can't connect to any websites with TOT, anyone else ?

In case you are wondering, typing this via 3G tethering connection on my Phone

This could be a can of worms. What are you on.? Land line. fiber optic , winet? Need to know.

WiNet.

Can ping sites, but not able to open any of them.

Tried a different (spare) router but same problem.

Have your wife call your local TOT office and report the problem. If its something they can take care of the office you will be ok but if they have to send a tech out I wish you luck as this is Friday and they well be closed until Monday.

already done, but NO high hopes for them reporting back

Steps already under taken, before I posted here:

• Rebooted Router
• Rebooted WiNet Router
• Replaced Router
• Called CallCentre

So that's why I posted here to see if other members (in the Buriram area) have the same problem

Edit: It really seems a routing problem, as some Thai sites can open but VERY slow, sites from abroad impossible to open. However the site TOT.CO.TH will not open

Good chance it just may be you. TOT is known for this and getting them off their ass is next to impossible.

Exactly, but unfortunately TOT WiNet is the only option here, except for 3G of course.

In another village, there are 3BB posters but I think they have the same problem as other members here, and they will only connect you if 5+ people subscribe and I don't see that happen (when they finally arrive) in our village.

Aah oke 49THB 3G per day it is till TOT "fixes" it.

555555 it seems calling them helped as I am typing this via my iPad on my TOT connection

Let's wait and see how long it lasts 55555

We had both TOT and 3BB.  TOT was so intermittent that we dropped them.  All the internet shops in our village use 3BB because of the issue with TOT.

I know that doesn't help your situation, but just letting you know of the long standing issue with TOT. 


And funny, as I tried to post this my 3BB service had a hiccup and would not respond, go the 3BB router page.  LOL

[iammike]

Thx.

If 3BB finally arrives in the village, I will NOT drop TOT, but keep them as a Backup.

When I lived in Pattaya I also had 2 lines (both 3BB and TOT) and in case 3BB had a problem, I could easily switch to TOT and v.v., and (touch wood) they never had outages at the same time fortunately

Happens to me regularly. Its not you or your computer ( as long as you haven't changed any setting ) it's TOT, although they will never admit it

Try going into your adaptor settings and change your DNS to Google ..it may help

I do it way and way easier.

A program called "DNSJUmper" link:http://www.sordum.org/7952/dns-jumper-v2-0/

This will find the fastest DNS for you and you can apply the settings, without doing it manually

Try removing DNS Jumpers settings and use a standard public DNS then ( its worth a go ) but TBO I still think TOT is the problem as they are well known for cutting back International Bandwidth as much as they can to save money !!
Even though when taking a speed test you may think you are getting the speeds they have promised  but the Bandwidth can be so small with TOT that even with good speeds you can't connect to the International site you want

This morning even changing DNS didn't help.

I could PING sites but not access them and a Tracert would fail, so there clearly was a routing problem within TOT

DNSJumper has Public DNS Servers (Google for example) (see screenshot)
