This section is only for SLT ADSL customers..If you had any bad experiences with them it's time to talk

With these increasing competition between service providers, where do you think SLT is residing? We need to consider the following aspects

1. How is their Internet bandwidth (peak and off peak) ?
2. How is the service ?
3. Have you had any billing issues in the past (specially for the Entry (1000) package people ) ?
4. Do you think the prices are reasonable ?
5. If face any issues, do you think it's right time to bring this up with TRC ?

This is not to offend anyone...but I assume as customers we need to voice up to gain something from the service provider.

Appreciate your contribution..

    I say they don't offer what they promissed..

    Their bandwidth sux. Good in the night very bad in the day time. I guess TRC should implement a minimum CIR for all the broadband connections as the service providers take the word "Up to XXX Kbps" for granted a lot. Whenever we say the line is slow....they say "we are offering up to 512 Kbps so 1 Kbps is also accepted."

    In addition they never call you back regarding a complain. I once complained about some billing issue and they never got back to me for 2 months...I still have those 2 complain reference numbers so that I can prove a point to them whenever I call.

    1. How is their Internet bandwidth (peak and off peak) ?

    hardly feel a difference .. except for youtube buffering, its better when off peak

    2. How is the service ?

    no issue with service yet ..but. help desk ppl don't know half of what they say .

    3. Have you had any billing issues in the past (specially for the Entry (1000) package people ) ?

    yea .. i got +10000 bill and .. after converted to home express,
    paid 3300 for extra charges for 3 months saying broad band charges ., nobody knows how it happens.

    4. Do you think the prices are reasonable ?

    yes. . why don't they say there is a hidden tax of 600..

    5. If face any issues, do you think it's right time to bring this up with TRC ?

    i don't think so ..
