I need a big favor. Can someone please post the dial-up details for the Airtel broadband. Also I need the access point details. One told that is wap.airtel.lk, but I doubt whether that is correct

    In the APN settings, put into Static.
    And in the APN give "Airtellive"
    Dial number: *99# or *99***1# (better to try *99#)

    And try connecting........

    Reason: Because we download many software from US websites, not in Maldives! That is the basic reason & there are more complicated & Technical reasons too.:cool:
    What are those 'complicated & Technical reasons'?:confused:

    Dear everyone,

    This is the solution for people who are looking for Airtel Broadband to convert, since the broadband is getting utlised overall there connection will be slower from time to time. EX: a tower can enable upto 7.2 MBPS of data so more number of users the speed is going to decrease. I am doing a Beta testing with Airtel broadband. I have bought a DATA sim and i am doing a trial run, to predict how long can they be providing atleast 300kbps of data.

    people who have GPRS enabled on there phones can USE airtel broadband, even if it has EDGE, GPRS, 3G, or 3.5G Airtel broadband or DATA will work.

    Airtel Broadband ganna one ayatai me, Denata Airtel broadband niyamai, Namuth thawath sathi Keeyapakin kiyanna nam behe, AI? denata network eka fill wenawa airtel broadband kiya kiya hamooma gannawa, namuth hamooma gaththahama network eka full wena nisath Speed eke adu paduwak siddawenna ida thiyenawa, Enisa danmama Rupiyal 10,000k Yata nokara thawa tika kalayak bala ita pasuwa gando, nogando kiya theeranaya karamu, nathahoth HSDPA thibena Phone ekak athnam athhada balannata kemethi nam Airtel DATA (broadband) card pathak ragena bavitha kara balanna.
    Mee ara tv channel ekaka yana programme ekada?:lol: :D ;)

    I have already said about the speed, there's a possibility of decreasing speed, So better to wait until March atleast.

    Yes, that's true that speed will be disturbed when users increases, but, Airtel claims that they will build more than 750 base stations at the end of 2009! This is comparatively higher than Dialog or Mobitel, Dialog has some of the old towers, so does the mobitel, But, Airtel's new base stations will be using new technologies.

    Apart from that, Airtel already said that they will not build their own towers, but they will share with other existing providers.

    As a conclusion, I have to say, I will buy an Airtel broadband, when I get covered. That will be after March. After that, I am planning to "go each & every place in Sri Lanka & I will post speedtests all over Sri Lanka."

    Stay tuned to this thread.

    hey guys i'm new to this thread and first of all thanks for all the info u guys have given.

    i have a couple 'o' questions so please help me out.

    1.are homagama, godagama, meegoda, padukka ares covered by the airtel 3g network? (when i called da airtel they askd me to check for myself using a 3g phone!)

    2.is the IP address a dynamic one? or is it a shared IP? current airtel mobile broadband users please post whether u have problems when downloadin from rapid share continuosly.

    3.Regarding the speeds according to the torrent screenshots the speed was about 200KB/s (not 200kb/s) and thats really good.so the guys who ran speed test at the airtel branch please post whether it was 200KB/s or 200kb/s

    1. Check the coverage list in the 7th page of this thread

    2. It is a shared IP

    3. Its 200KB/s not kb/s!
