TT & T vs TOT

[Guess]

I do not freckin' smegging well believe. Are TT & T monitoring my input? This is my third attempt as posting this topic and TT & T have hung up on me twice.

I would like to get some feed back on peoples experiences with TT & T and TOT ADSL services.

I am with TT & T. Their basic package. This is 512/256. The sales girl was so incompetent that she did not even tell me about other services.

The problems I have encountered are:

Loss of service for a complete weekend (conveniently between Friday evening and Monday morning when their office are closed).

Occasional hang ups.

Throughput speed at a fraction of that sold to me.

Incompetent installation of voice phones resulting in me having to fix a problem myself.

Sporadic loss of service.

If we get all get together we may be able to convine the smegg heads that they nee to purchase some more fibre.

Wotcha,
As you'll know from previous posts, I've had real problems with TOT over the past year. I was on a dial up connection - obviously, painfully slow and disconnected all the time. My monthly phone bill (and this was just for internet connections at 3 Baht a time) was up to 1,500 Baht.
Anyway, two weeks ago, they lent me a modem on appro. The difference was mindblowing for this computer idiot.
I decided to buy the modem and TOT turned up yesterday and installed a brand new one. So far, so good. I'm getting regular speed tests of @190, whatever that means. I'm reliably informed that it's not bad for a 256/64 modem.
I had a slight problem yesterday around 4pm and again just 15mins ago. I just shut the computer down and restarted. Fine now.
Price, 500 per month for the phone line and 3,000 for the modem. I know the modem's a bit ovepriced, but I was willing to pay it rather than beat my computer up, which was far more likely with dial up.

We use TT&T for ADSL. We did have some billing issues when they had the JI Plus service, but since they have started their own service, no problems. Kun Puset looks after the account and he really tries hard. we are paying B3,000 per month.

I've moved this thread to this forum as I didn't really think 'Relationships' was quite the right place for it.

Many thanks guys,

I will look at the merits of TOT which I was advised not to go near with a barge pole.

I seem to remember Lomu, that you posted some recorded throughput figures but now I can not (or to lazy to) find the post.

I am only getting a tenth of the promised download throughput assuming that there is eight bits to a byte on ADSL.

Keep it coming.I amplanning to put on my angry hat (Thai version)and visit the TT & T office very soon.

Yeah for they're worth,
23/8 7am speed 189.8
7pm 195.1
24/8 2.30pm 202.9
25/8 9am 213.2
2/9 new ADSL 10.45am 192.3
4.15pm 139.9

Hope you can figure that out.

There are two threads in this section (Digital Realm) that discuss both ADSL services, from what I've read TT&T are a waste of space and TOT are marginally above that.

I didn't even read the above posts, i just saw the topic and tell you TT&T service sucks so bad. so bad. bad bad bad.
for the basic packages whatever they are 256/256 and 512/256 adsl you can not use torrents or Voip. What is the frigging point of adsl without torrents. It says it in the small print in the contract.
I see tt&t and i think ss&s or ss&fs
sometimes it takes half a day to reconnect. The pc must reboot itself each time as that's how their adsl it works. pain in the ass.

International bandwidth is about 90-95% less than advertised a large amount of the time. In another country that service would be downright fraud.
This is what tt&t say .
This is what you get

[niceday]

ok read the posts.
Btw tt&t adsl is being advertised in all the phone bills now the adsl so will get slower everyday.
but don't worry because you can't get slower than 0k/s.
i don't know a better word for "empty of substance" maybe fake or facade or the s word.

Whats this new cat one coming next month?
tt&t and tot, they both buy the international bandwidth from cat already.
Who owns cat?

Read about ADSL2 in pc magazine. 16mb-30mb/s on normal phone lines. the uk exchanges are gearing up for it.

Getting angry in the office. Will that work? I can see them going into numb mode and pretending you don't exist. Must be embarassing to work for them companies tricking people so low everyday. I'd be numb too with them dead eyes. Starting to feel sorry for them now.

This one has been hashed out several times here, will give my rundown based on experience of using both providers.

TOT
Relatively stable (depending on phone line), average speed around 170Kbps (which is not bad for a 256 connection). Extremely affordable at 500 baht per month. The downside is that it will only work on a TOT phone line.

TT&T
Their Maxnet for Home package (790 per month) is over subscribed and shockingly slow, average speed 60Kbps (which is terrible for a 512 connection). Would advise going for the Maxnet for Life package which starts at around 1,500 per month but has less subscribers and better speeds.

A few weeks ago a company in Thailand launched the largest telcommunications satellite into orbit. This company I believe is Shin Satellite Public Co Ltd, one of it's subsiduries being the CS lox group.

I would hope this would improve services for all when up and running.

I would however like to know who the main shareholder of this company is (Toxin?).

Yes Toxin owns it, though I cant see things getting any better internet wise since he will only use it to profit his own businesses: CSLoxinfo and the mobile networks.

Another story on the launch here:

Yes the Pm owned the majority of the communications industry in Thailand before coming into power.

Seems odd them electing a chinese looking bloke to PM in Thailand. His granny or grandad came here and stayed or whatever, still he looks like a chinese and everytime i see him on a poster i always wonder how the royal family feels about that but of course can't say anything. One would think the Thais would stand behind their national pride a bit more.

Always on about thai values and the like as well kinda reminds me off hitler pretending to be tall standing on a box or that smallest kid in the class in school who would take things too far for attention. Or them men who cut of their tackle and pretend to be women.

Not comparing him to hitler, in most ways his nothing like him. Just doesn't quiet make sense the chinese looking bloke running Thailand and owning the greater businesses(sp?) here.
It gives communist china power over Thailand really just not to talk about it i guess.
But what would i know. foreign birdshiit as they say and all that.

Sorry, I'm way of topic.

Niceday,
Try starting a new thread. Some of us may come along.

[niceday]

Sorry about that, I really do get sidetracked too easy. Was just annoyed at time that taksin's company owns all the international bandwidth and that i don't get what was advertised. I know he is just a business man but it is annoying.

Nice however to have a bad guy.

There i go again. Anyway for 800baht tt&t is ok for web pages when it's up but for torrents it's just a waste of time.
