You agreed to do the test today during internet peak time (2-3PM). You can not compare my results ( January 1st 2PM) with tests performed in nights and weekends ( Off peak)

I think you experienced the poor performance today 2-3PM. That is why you guys were silent all these times. You failed to face the challenge that you agreed to do it today 2 PM. I am not going to arugue with you on this any more.

My experience is SLT has many quality issues. People who knows a little about Internet routing will understand and agree this point.

hey i had to go out, lol, don't joke man. people have works. Sandun work is enough to compare with you. if you need more SLT clients, tell it. A lot of SLT customers hope to show correct results. I know what's in your mind, usually 2 PM is very busy time in SLT servers. because most of office, companies are using SLT in sri lanka. we all know that dilalog wimax users are based on homes.
Why don't you participate in Dialogblogs and kalingablogs to show these results. then we will have a great discussion.(no need argue)

The DNS resolved IP 2 u and me are different. See the trace destination. This is not the matter of how yahoo is reached. This is all about " SLT uses Airtel Internet Backbone" for internet. This is not given in any of their websites and no one aware of this.

The so called "3.5 G" backbone provider depends on Airtel Backbone.. Seems funny!!!!!!!!

Check this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEA-ME-WE_4

SLT uses SEA-ME-WE 4 Backbone.. It doesn't belong to bharathi airtel check the network topology also.. nearest hop to sri lanka is Chennai, India which is managing by Bharti Infotel Limited (not Airtel ). And also Airtel is subsidary of Bharathi Ventures.. same as Mobitel is a subsidary of SLT.. So don't get in to wrong conclutions
