This place has an interesting UI and allows you to test speed to/from servers located around the world:

With a server in Japan I clocked in at 435/199 on MaxNet4Home 512/256.

^WK - Where are you and what ISP?

**Butterfly** · 14-04-2007, 10:16 AM

^ True apparently, it says on the pics

**Anonymous Coward** · 14-04-2007, 10:18 AM

^Boy, am I clueless this morning. I start the thread and fail to notice the nifty URL feature and then am too blind to see the ISP annotation.

Time to go back to bed.

Bangkok (a stones throw from the big True building). As you've noticed the ISP is True - package costs about 1200 baht a month.

Just checked the bill - the package is Hi Speed Unlimited (Speed 2560/512) - costs 1,150+7% tax = 1,230.50 baht a month.

Biggest thing pissing me off is my router won't let me access torrent sites for some friggin reason

^It goes pretty good in Thailand - but who wastes their time with Thai sites anyway I guess

**Butterfly** · 14-04-2007, 10:40 AM

That's a ballsache.
If it wasn't for torrents i'd still be using dial up.

Well to be honest I'm only guessing as I really have no friggin idea. But I did try with the help of a mate sometime back and we couldn't open up the ports or whatever required to do the downloading due to some problem with the router. I must have a closer look at it as I could be doing some serious downloading with the speeds I seem to be getting.

^ unrelated to True. Get a better router with Port forwarding, not the free one from True
