Nice to hear sympathy for all of us who have lost 30% of the value of our income in baht terms, and 100% of our income from account interest.

That comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek MM, hitting the reset button or powering down was ''fix-it, step 1' in my old world too. It has worked a few times for me now. Other than getting a new IP address and refreshing the DNS I can't figure it. More essentially, why does it specifically affect your board, as I speedtest quite well to a server in the West Coast USA. My old fault-finding mentality says we are looking at a couple of problems coming together. Maxnet seem to be up to something!

Since you don't fly a flag, nor state anything, we all have to presume you are flying from the UK by the use of £. If also you originate in London, you can do better than Jet at that price. Eva fly direct and cheap!, Your July date probably bumps prices, A quick look here...http://www.westeasttravel.com/ Found...flying on Jet???

I'm not in the UK.....

I thought I suggested the ADSL router/modem reset in my first post! I just has the same problem again, so I tried a couple of speedtests... I got really great resuilts (from LOS to both UK and West Coast USA) and most other sites were really fast. Pattayatalk just left me waiting, A UK proxy server got me in but again I couldn't post, only read. So the modem/router got reset, and I am in.... Back to the shitty speeds though..... Edit Later... My speed has picked up again... Pretty good considering to UK at 9pm LOS!!

Fair point Tom, presented with slight Papillon tones.

So the original schedule incorporated about a years delay between current point and delivery with an 'IF'?????????

Emails are easily 'forged'....I often receive one or two, that appear to come from a friend, in reality they have just cloned his ID and are using his contacts list. The only option I can think of is to 'Show Full Headers'.......and if you can make any sense of the gobbledygook that appears..... clever man!

Tom, the ping and tracert just try to find the route .... you open a command prompt or dos environment and give it a try. I am not using a proxy myself and able to work with pattayatalk now. Don't go thinking of me as an expert, MM has a better idea by far!

Yeah ping doesn't seem to get past my modem/router as I tried to ping a few bangkok servers. I switched off my router/modem firewall and got a bit further with a ping... Reply from 209.58.96.109: TTL Expired in Transit..... That IP says it is in Bogota, Colombia which has really confused me, and scared me a bit. Firewall back on!

Thanks Tom would appreciate the feedback. Saw the Non-Imm O offered by a few visa outfits here in Pattaya. A change of rule as always were 'only from home country' in the past. I am wondering if they are just offered as a route to the retirement extension, for those who came in with a waiver or tourist visa?

ping timed out. tracet just get a load of 'request timed out' after mygateway. So no further than my front door? Perhaps my router/modem blocks such commands? (Surprising since I can now access Pataya Talk) TTTMaxnet in Pattaya looking suspicious.

Not old enough to get a retirement extension Mick?I see Non-Imm O is available from neighbouring countries now (Laos and Penang), have to be asking if multiple is available....... I hope to get 15 months out of my current one, but that would take me to Dec/Jan, no way I want to fly to UK in winter, so may look to get a Non-Imm O from one of the above.

Convenient for Soi Bhua Khao, but beter be home before X-Cyte starts to empty and the OK Corral show starts!

As I said the proxy got me in, but was slow, full of extra adverts and I couldn't post anything, even edit an old post. Reset on my router seems to have sorted it, but still slow. I think Joe mentioned that a new provider will be coming on-line soon, True or not!. I also notice TOT and TTT are making some good offers lately, perhaps trying to lock you into their crappy service for a year...... rather than have you change ISP. I noticed the ADSL modulation type changed on my service not long back, now ADSL_2+. I had high hopes of a better service but alas. Thanks for the feedback Tom!.

Here in LOS, Pattaya and TT&T MaxNet, having a terrible time getting in to the board. Mozilla is often giving me a messege, 'Connection Interrupted', Page contains no data etc etc. This went on for ages this morning, so I tried a proxy server (USA). That got me in but it was slow and I couldn't post ...anything. Reset my router and got in now ... slow...slow...slow... I recall MM mentioning some issues, but I didn't grasp it. This has been going on for over a week. The boards new server? Problems at Maxnet... Problems at some pipe? It's worse than when I used the GPRS connection...... I seem to be able to get European sites OK, Yahoo and all that! Anybody can enlighten me?

To be honest I was surprised to see he did so well on the English, you do see some whoppers in LOS!.

Who mentioned English before you? He should have offered 'tapas'....

Maybe not, I have a trip to the old country coming up!

Then you missed his 'top 10 GO-GOs for Stunners' post, which seemed to show some depth of experience. He has also posted a bit of a review on Hell Club. Have you read outside of a Mistys thread?

I don't have permission to post a new topic in this forum, but here is a link to April09 Nightmarch, from the Pattaya Today Newspaper. It's a good read for those who live here. http://www.pattayatoday.net/index.php?acti...ews&id=5445

Yep, always lurking for a quick quip or critique......you still coming to Thailand Rick?

You would think he could spell!

To go see a distant relative's new baby?
