Remember that SLT owns the to base stations for the optic cables that connect Sri Lanka to the world.Here is the thing... The TRC wanted people get full optimum speed on broadband. There is a quite big theory on the TRC's side. They say, paying per GB allows ISP's to buy more bandwidth allocations.This is the thing. SLT, Dialog, Lankabell pay for bandwidth allocations on the underwater cables. Bandwidth allocations meaning Speed! not volume... Example, SLT would have a 1000Mbps line and they can download Unlimited GB's at the Maximum Speed of 1000Mbps... Now here is the problem... This means SLT can only have 1000, 1Mbps broadband users downloading at a time to get full speed.. but the problem is 1000 users cannot afford the price of the 1000Mbps line.. so the provider oversells.... SLT might have 5000, 1Mbps users on one 1000Mbps....So when 400 people are always online and download non-stop only 600Mbps is available for other users. So every-time 1000+400 1Mbps users come online the line is throttled on per connection basis not per line basis... so a user downloading a torrent with many connections he/she would get full speed during even high traffic times. While his use hinders the speed of a single connection user... (viewing a website), this is the theory of shared bandwidth...Now as the TRC is starting forcing ISP's to improve speed, SLT had put all the heavy users (ones that download more than 20GB) into a separate bandwidth allocation.. something like a 150Mbps... so as torrent downloads continue on this line with heavy users, regular website browsing (single connection) gets highly effected when you are in the heavy user allocation. But this ensures regular users who download one page or two using single connections don't get affected.But the sad part is that there aren't many regular users online on the 1000Mbps allocation and they never overload the 1000Mbps allocation... there is ample bandwidth left on it... not used... which is why I asked the TRC to make SLT throttle heavy users on priority basis... So heavy users utilize free bandwidth on the 1000Mbps line when its available.</blockquote>
