Best times to use the internet in Thailand's rice jungle

Internet is really slow in Thailand at the moment
I'd venture to guess, the system is old, antiquated, and overused.
Best times to use the internet in Thailand's rice jungle (back country / outback) is when they're sleeping or otherwise engaged: 3AM to 10AM.

After 10 AM things begin to slow down, especially when school is in session.  The rest of the time is peak usage. 

Quite often I've had success by disconnecting and reconnecting internet provider hardware or software (network control panel)
By doing that you are most likely disconnecting from an overpopulated node, and then reconnecting to a less used node (node=connection point).

Upgrading Thailand's connectivity has been underway for quite a few years.  Stalled in political and legal wrangling.  There seem to be promising developments that an upgrade might finally begin this year.  But for heavens sake don't hold your breath.
