    Anyway acording to tests done by KoolB's blog, I don't think Dialog Wimax performing well at all.

    He has posted screenshots of speedtest.net using the Dialog Wimax Ultra package which is 4Mbps download and 1Mbps upload.

    Since its a 4M Down and 1M Up line in perfect conditions it should run around 4096kbps down and 1024kbps up but check the stats from speedtest.com
    Sometimes its like less than a 1M down connection. Even if you take the best stats still its worst than a SLT’s 2M down connection. SLT 2M gives better results than this.

    bt its only the start... when SLT launched at first it dropped to dialup speeds at daytime..

    Hi to all
    This is very important to ADSL users in slt.Nowadays they distribute many connection rapidly.It's very good news for sri lanka.But the quality is not increased as the distribution.So every connections are slow down.Sometimes it's like a Dial Up connection.
    By default SLT should provide a 510 kbps data stream connection.If you see a low speed in your connenction.Then we can take an action to setup default connection.

    Regards

    it's Better than Dial-up ....

    (Specially Price...)

    Slow down may occur

    ADSL is a shared pool. SLT has a backbone line arround 384Mbps to the internet. You will get a dedicated 512 kbps line to SLT only. From SLT to internet the bandwith depends on how much of the backbone is occupied by the current users. In the morning time as all the offices use internet the backbone line will be occupied more than the night time. So you could see a slow down in the morning.

    If you take the dialog wimax it is again the same story. The line speed depends on the badwith of the backbone of dialog. The promissed $mbps bandwith only exists from the user to dialog only. From there on everything goes on the same line. That is their backbone.

    So please do not expect that you would get a dedicated link to 512kbps line to every web site you wisit from ADSL or 4Mbps dedicated link to every web site you wisit from WiMAX. Wimax being a wireless connection may also introduce new disturbances wich affects the connection speed.

    Connection speeds may also depend on the servers. Because those servers have a limited badwith too. If you take youtube it could not server whole world at once. It would slow down as well because users of it are also increasing. So speed of a connection is not only dependent on the type of connection or ISP.
