Faster Internet in Thailand!

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Thailand-Connected-High-bandwidth-t322310.html

This is very good news: Thailand connected to the new Asia America Gateway (AAG). It should mean faster internet speeds for me.

I looked at the official AAG web site: http://www.asia-america-gateway.com/index.php. It isn’t informative to visitors and I did not see an announcement.

I will make a note of any speed improvements.

Hello,
I use Maxnet Premier 3MB and since Thursday 17, the connection is crappy. Maximum of 40 or 60kb/s and sawtooth connection. Even some connection drop. Before this date it was running very smooth and fast for several months. My guess is they are re-routing to the new cable, but of course they (Maxnet) will never tell you what is really going on. I will wait one or two more days and will call them if the problems persists. Do you experience similar problems ?

  I use True and it’s overall been much improved. Unfortunately I didn’t do any prior speed tests so I do not have data but my perception is good. Still there are long pauses when there’s no connectivity at all.
  
  Have you tried Google Public DNS? I found that was faster than using True’s DNS server. See http://bkkphotographer.wordpress.com/2009/12/04/google-public-dns/

    Unfortunately Google DNS does not solve the problem. They are probably doing some maintainance work. It already happened 4 months ago and lasted 5 or 6 days. Wait and see.

I’ve found Google DNS is better for me than True’s server but yes, it won’t help if Maxnet is feeding everything through temporary bamboo tubes while they are maintaining their wires.

Good luck.
