1st Electroteks Broadband User

[Halloween]

I am proudly saying that I'm the first EK user who uses
Electroteks Broadband Connection

I am using this connection since 2007
This is my speed test result
(My siggy shows more results. Some of them are faster than this)



This has not officially launched. You guys will be able to get this when they launch it.
The maximum transfer rate i got was 157kBps (kilo bytes per second, not kilo bits) and that was with no accelerators.
May be it was because of less users in the network. Currently they are using Indian TATA communication's (former VSNL) link. But they will upgrade it soon before they launch it.

Connection method:- CDMA modem with 100Mbps (mega bits per second, not mega bytes) of speed.

Note:- That speed is from my pc to the network base station ( SLT 512kbps users have that speed from their pc to SLT. Not to the internet )

I am not sure about the connection charges.

Hope you guys will have a better experince.
Cheers.......!!!

RTEC Mobile Lanka (Private) Limited to be the next mobile (GSM) and fixed (SCDMA) telecommunications network provider in the Sri Lankan market.
Speaking to Daily News Business the Managing Director of RTEC Mobile Lanka B.A.C. Abeywardena said they will provide mobile (GSM) services and fixed phone with broadband internet services islandwide.



‘We expect to invest initially US$ 100 million for the project. Global Electroteks Limited, UK who is in the British telecommunication industry and few banks in UK will invest in the project.
The company has obtained TRC approval and planning to commence their operations within six months.
The company is planning to cover the entire country within two years time. The project will provide over 400 job opportunities directly he said.
The fixed phones will be manufactured in China according to designs provided by the company and the GSM equipment will also be imported from China. RTEC Mobile Lanka will set up 1000 base stations in the country and also expects to utilise the existing base stations to provide the service.
“We are confident that we could compete with the other players in the industry by providing our services for a cheaper rate with high quality. The company expects to price its call charges at least 25 per cent less than the cheapest call charges available in the market at the moment, he said.
“Maintaing minimum operational cost and using local expertise could help us to provide our services for a lesser price. We are planning to manufacture most of our equipment in the country”.
“We think this is the right time to enter into the market even with the current economic conditions. The whole world is facing an economic crisis and it will last for another one to two years.
“This economic crises has resulted in price declines in construction goods and lessened competitiveness. It will create more opportunities for newcomers, he said.
The Board of Investment of Sri Lanka granted investment approval to the project recently.
