I move to Guangzhou since Oct11,I stay in hotel and service apartment during Oct 11 to Dec11. I can go to all of website with good speed. However now I move to new permanent apartment, the owner install china telecom high speed internet for me but I can't access 50% of thai website, for the website that I can access speed is ok.

Is it relate to china telecom? Should I ask owner change the service provider?
Any suggestion?

Hi there,

I used to live in Guangzhou until at the end of 2010. Even though the landlord has provided a so called high speed internet, there is another upgrade for a faster service. You need to wait one whole year to get that. It sounds crazy but that's how it is.
May be some Thai websites are blocked in China. Check your firewall setting. Or get VPN strong to get access to facebook, etc.
Good luck.
