3BB internet speed and problems

[Big Boy]

^ I get bombarded with TRUE adverts on our True TV, and ticker announcements of the outages for maintenance around the country. Each one reads "maintenance to our fiber optic cable network...." I'm assuming if they use fiber optic as an option to satellite dish in some areas, and their internet runs on the same lines. Pete

I've got their satellite dish for TV, and something that I thought was fibre (no longer sure) for the Internet.

Navigating TRUE's website is an adventure as things all over the place, and most in Thai. Anyway, found the below about fiber internet. I had thought they were running TV on fiber also based on those maintenance announcements I mentioned above. Maybe in some places they are....?

You sure it's fibre optic and not the DOCIS/Cable (TV) service?

No, I'm not sure. However, when they were flood wiring the area, everybody was talking fibre - I even posted some pictures at the time because I was amazed they didn't have to physically join the wires - still haven't and mine works fine.

Hi BB, What do you mean "didn't have to physically join the wires"? I can't get my head around that.

BTW when True cabled our Soi (Smor Phrong) last year I'm pretty sure it was Docsis as they were touting TV as well as internet. I think there were also reports of them leaving bloody great holes in walls after installation. That put me off. What sort of job did they do at your house?

They literally laid one on top of the other, and clamped them together. Don't knock it, it works.

They have a fibre optic network, but they also have a DOCIS service. It's easy to tell the two apart because the DOCIS package comes with free Cable TV

Sounds like fibre then, though I'm surprised they have fibre internet in areas that they can't even supply cable TV to.

Sounds strange. Got a picture?

[Big Boy]

There was a photo on page 5 of this thread viewtopic.php?f=15&t=21320 . Of course, that was before I'd moved from the dark side

[hhinner]

Hmm. Not a very clear photo. The docsis cables in our soi are rather thick sheathed cables and are attached to support cables which support the data cable weight and it seems to me that the clamp in the picture might be on the support cable rather than on the actual data cable.

Sorry, but I'm not getting on a ladder to get a better one

Can any users of this type of internet connection say how satisfied or otherwise they are?

I am in Hin Lek Fai and wonder if this area is good, because I remember late last year that there were a number of complaints about the speed etc - so a 9 months on things may have go better.

[Stratoko]

I'm down soi 94 and I've recently (2 months) installed their fiber optic package. I have no complaints whatsoever, the line hasn't gone down once since I've got it, and the speed is good and from what I've noticed it doesn't seem to waver that much

[hhfarang]

I'm at the end of 94 very near Hin Lek Fai and though it variable, frequently the speeds are horrible and there are frequent outages lately. I'm thinking of switching to True.

THIS POST WAS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT ''3BB FIBRE OPTIC'' AND HAS BEEN NOW ENTERED IN ''3BB INTERNET SPEED'' - THAT WAS NOT MY INTENTION AND SO THE ANSWERS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 2 ARE IRRELEVANT TO THE QUESTION - THANK YOU MOD FOR MAKING THIS CHANGE!!!

Well I have gone back about 5 pages (4 weeks) and see two mentions of 3BB Fibre Optic connections, one of which was direct to my question. There were a great number about TRUE which is why I raised the question.
