Yestarday my download speed dropped to 3kbps .....
I called SLT about this this is what they told me,
If you have Unlimited Download connection (I have 512kbps)
When you reach 20GB per month your download speed will be slow like 58kb to 3kB. and this is due to government regulations lu
No Downloads for us![]()

I'm kinda late on this post.. but thought I'll comment anyway.
The 512kbps package doesn't exist anymore. You can upgrade to the new 'web family' package which has a d/l speed of upto 8mbps and a limit of 25 gb. The price? it's only Rs.1400/= something odd... which is less than the Rs. 1600/= something you're paying for the 512kbps connection. Absurd.. I know. I got extremely pissed off 'cause I've been paying that amount for a non existent package and they didn't even inform us. And the limit is still not enough. Especially 'cause it's a family package, it should at least be an amount of 40gb per month. Anyways... here's the link to new packages > http://www.slt.lk/broadband/index.html
Hope it helps. Cheers.

these rules dont apply for old packages,. I called SLT and they told me the same but then i informed TRC and they fixed everything, i used about 80GB monthly and everything seems normal and TRC calls almost every week now to ask about the net speeds and all![]()
that's great nah! 
so you've created this account just to promote slt's new limited packages?I'm kinda late on this post.. but thought I'll comment anyway.

so you've eat the carrot. lol. now you can't do anything.No, I created this account in the hopes of helping peeps out by telling them they are paying extra for nothing. The old packages does exist in the sense that.. the speeds and limits are the same.. however, it ISN'T unlimited. At least that's what I was informed by slt and that's what I experienced (extremely slow net since September). My complaints meant nothing to them so I was resorted to changing my package. *shrug*
SLT can't restrict them. if they do, it's against the service agreement. all you have to do it keep eye on your line condition. if they limit your line just give a call to TRC & make a complain. that's it!
