True bullshit

Always use the San Franciso location to do the speed test (because Frankie said so).

at 2 pm - at 3 pm everything slows down even further - thai rugrats out of school?

Those GPRS figures of the other day posted by GoW don't seem too hot compared to the already shitty TRUE cheapo package I'm presently on!

I'm not bragging, or trying to rain on anybody's parade, but the screen capture speaks for itself. This is one of the MAIN reasons I have not yet moved to Thailand. I have a fiber optic line to the outside wall of my house, with 2Mb up and 15 Mb down.

I probably pay about the same as those of you who have a relatively good connection in Thailand. DD can verify the good Internet broadband available in Tampa, Florida.

Wanker!

Monkey, does your work depend on having a high speed connection ?
If yes, then fair comment.

^ I just am letting out a bit of frustration as I have followed the Internet connectivity in Thailand for the last several years. I certainly could do with less speed than I have now, but reading these threads hasn't encouraged me much.

Since I don't currently work from home, I only have this connection for my own devices. Here, it only costs twice as much as one of the cheaper dial-ups.

Computers are my life, so I don't have any other worthwhile skills that could earn a bit of money if I moved to Thailand. For instance, I know a lot about orchids and plants in general. But, having the knowledge doesn't mean I can successfully grow anything. I do have an extensive knowledge base, but the skills required to follow through with anything other than computers are not there. I refuse to teach, since years ago I taught electronics, and I consider myself a lousy teacher.
