Yesterday, 14:07

Found the thread on Thaivisa about her vist  : http://www.thaivisa....ext-week-party/

It doesn't mention a trip to the North. Only this article does : http://www.gmanetwor...oad-in-24-years

I have moved there and have a bar/restaurant and wish to stream US sports channels etc.  and I have had zero luck trying to find out if Cable Internet is available in my area.

We found here in Chiang Mai that the staff at the True shop were able to tell us if it was possible to hook up cable internet to any address in Chiang Mai. They had a detailed map of CM on a computer which showed were all the cables went. We asked about 3 separate addresses which were fairly centrally located and they all could get cable, we took along a detailed map of where the houses were located exactly. You may need to take a Thai speaker along to make communicating work smoothly, a map of the sois around you and any significant landmarks might help and your address. Would have thought they would be eager to sign you up, especially if you want one of the 50 Mbps and up packages. Or maybe things are different in BKK?

But interestingly if I use either of the two proxy addresses you gave me the speeds come down to 1.8 Mbps on dslreports.com and 10 Mbps on speedtest.net

Interesting with the proxy turned on the speedtest.net results gave you a 10Mb speed which basically matched your earlier DSLReports speed of a little over 10Mb.
Using the proxy also slows down dslreports.com's reported download speed from 10 Mbps to 1.8 Mbps.

I think all the speed tests are really testing different things. Speedtest.net is probably testing the speed and latency to True's internal caches and is helpful in it shows that now I am getting full capacity across my cable connection to True?? I think.

Then dslreports is measuring presumably uncached downloads to LA to a particular server and through all the bottle necks it meets on the way. My connection speed to the internet is not a constant thing of course across the whole internet. Then the MS speed test measures download speeds with another set of servers.

Just for the sake of experimentation, I am trying some multi thread downloading from multiple peers and get download speeds of 1.5 - 2.5 MBps ie. 12-20 Mbps. This is when downloading several files with a lot of connections.

I get 18 Mbps down and 9 Mbps to Singapore. And about 3Mbps down and up to Europe and US from the M$ speedtest..

Oh!

It seems things are fixed now. I am getting the full 105-108 Mbps from speedtest.net results, which are probably cached and not real download speeds.

I am getting 12-22 Mbps on dslreports.com

And I now find that I can turn on the wifi without it affecting the download speeds. Things seem to have fixed themselves. I think some has been tinkering with the system at the local exchange box or something before the technicians come again tomorrow.
