But my connection is fit for neither (Yes, I have tried). Does anyone have any experience with using these functions in Phuket? Preferably in Kamala but also elsewhere. Is the connection considered better in Patong than Kamala? (Guess it has to do with proximity to an exchange too, but just thought I’d ask). Will an upgrade to 512 make it significantly better?
If these problems continue, I might just have to move (again!).

I have TOT 256K in Patong and I find it pretty good, very stable (when I pay the bill) and a resonable speed. I regularly VPN back to a box in Scotland and although it's not quick, it is managable, and I can actually remote control a server there (with screen refresh overhead) and happily work away for a few hours in the evenings.
