3BB internet speed and problems

Post by PET »

The 3BB internet speed and connection generally has been VERY bad today ( I am told it was not good yesterday as well ) - has anybody else experienced the problem which for me is ongoing?

Me too. 3BB say there are similar problems throughout Petchaburi & Prachuap provinces. Apparently they are working on it...

Bloody nuisance, right now in particular.

I called them as soon as it started dropping in and out as normally it's very good. They said it was a problem in all Prachuab and should be fixed in a couple of hours. It went on for more than that but now it appears to be okay again.

Oops! Spoke too soon. As soon as I'd posted the above, it went down again after having an hour trouble free.

We had the same problem and when my wife tried to call their helpline there was a recorded message, something to do with a major cable failure - we're back now so fingers crossed it's fixed!!

Have had nothing but problems with TOT over the last few days although it has improved since we called them out yesterday but still drops out intermittently. When I approached 3BB and asked specifically about weekend and other speed issues they could not guarantee a better performance during peak times. I might get ten Meg's from Bangkok but struggle to get three from the UK proxy server. Only took a months service so will look to other options later.

Yes, I've had the problem yesterday and today. Tried to call several times but the line was tied up, so I assumed lots of others were having the same problem.
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

TOT is no better, you can barely open web pages after 6pm.

I'm in Korat and had the same problem. I thought it was better today, but as I was composing this reply it went down, again....

To make things worse, we had a power outage as well. However, everything looks good at the moment :fingers crossed emoticon:
