MOBILE BROADBAND.. DIALOG CHAAA, AIRTEL CHAAA, MOBITEL EXPENSIVE--WHAT TO DO?????

[supgama]

hi friends...
i used all mobile broad band connections available..
this is my experience.

dialog---
very slow and also expensive. some will disagree but people live in main cities will agree with me. coverage and signal strength also very poor for the 1st 3G network of the country. some may get good speeds if you are the only one using internet from your tower. so if you are at far away place from the city limit and if you have 3G you may get the speed. but for others its a shit...

Airtel---
well i had experience with both limited and unlimited packages...
unlimited one is useless... its the worst broadband i experienced. limited connections are relatively better. much better than dialog. speeds are around 400-600kbps at peak time. and stable. HSPA signel is good in covered areas.

Mobitel---
Best by far if we consider performance alone. HSPA coverage and signal is superb. speed almost always above promised speed in 1Mb connection and atleast 2.5 Mb or above in 3,6Mb connection. but its very expensive. it also is a shit if we consider our wallat.... and because its very fast free bundle is used very quickly... after that??

i feel mobitel is not having much compitition.... otherwise they can give really unlimited one. but if we are to get that benifit dialog and airtel should improve a lot... and at the moment i cant see that happening....

what are your views???

what u have written about airtel is 100000% correct...
i have got mad with them...

the best speed connection is mobitel but they buy bandwidth form SLT rit?
that might be y they are expensive..coz of it less users More Speed..

Dialog yesterday i tested and got around 1.8 to 2 mbps for Kitbroad band..i testd 50rs for 2hours one and i downloaded two 700mb files yesterday @ about 10.30pm....

mobitel gets bandwidth free from slt.
now main force of slt is mobitel. problem is lack of competitors.... from their side no need to give unlimited to get the market share as all others failing.. and mobitel speed is not because of less users. they are having most broadband users out of 3.

dialog kit i never tested. but their university package is worse than airtel limited 2Gb package. meantime where are you living? some areas no dialog broadband users so can have good speeds.

this is my airtel 2Gb speedtest just now. i never had these speeds with dialog university package around colombo and subs.
for me this is the best available option at this moment....

2Gb - 600 rupees

mobitel 2 gb 890...
and with that speed 2gb is nothing... so i prefer some what lower speed if connection is limited

i can bet.......
you will not have good speed with dialog @ moratuwa even if you get good signal... dialog 3G signal quality is anyway very poor in initially covered areas... now only huawi is doing their towers. earlier done by ericsson and its very poor quality...

ya that speed is way better than mine...
2gb is it enough 4u?
and if u wana download a larger file the best for you would be to find a directlink or Rapidshare With a Premium Account and download using dialog kitBB 50rs for 2hours... torrents dnt give the Full speed ..directlink or Rs Premium tama Or imageshack torrent downloading service...

 

[sanjcal]

i had dialog and now using mobitel. dialog is terrible. mobitel speed is very good but not very affordable.

i m not downloding much... i do lot of online streeming. my main data usage is for that. and 3 Gb is not enough.(its 3Gb, not 2Gb) so i have 2 connections and for 6Gb only 1200 bugs.
if i use dialog (assuming that speed is good, which is not the case for me) its 3000 rupees for 5Gb...
and mobitel 2400 for 7 Gb....

i think it all depends on the person, where you are, the network at that moment, so yea it can depend.. since mobitel is more expensive there are less users, so thats why mobitel is a better option for a short term, long term seekers go for airtel, then dialog.. which is right and hence the problems

 

[blakfese]

dialog suks

 

[¤--bACarDi--¤]

Dialog sucks when you haven't 3G signal....

No..mobitel has most users.. Dialog 2nd. Airtel has most users per tower.
But dialog main prnblem is international bandwidth. They have only 155mb for hspa and wimax both. Mobitel good b'cos 4 tera Hz SLT bandwidth.
