    SLT ADSL suck. I have the slt adsl xcite package(1Mbps down, 256kbps up) it worked great till last Monday and the download speed dramatically dropped down. My average download speed was 85 - 110 kbps with apps. like torrent and IDM(sometimes higher), but now its 5 - 20 kbps. I complained about 5 or 6 times. Nothing happened still down. The thing is I can't even browse through web pages. It takes about 70 - 90 seconds to load a web page. I can't even get speedtest.net to work some kind of error, but when used other means to connect to internet (like through my 3G phone via PC Suite) they all work fine.
    So after a lot of complains the slt came up with a solution to me. They said that there is an issue with the xcite package which was that some users had used xcite packages in Communications (small inet cafes). So now they have to limit the download speed. So what do I care. I'm not one of them. I download aroud 60 - 70 GBs a month but I'm a home user and I download movies and TV series for personal entertainment not as a business. Now they say they are introducing two new packages

    1. 1Mbps down, 256kbps up but free usage up to 5GB and 50 cents for another extra 1MB or KB (not sure) for 29GBs after that Rs1 for MB or KB (not sure). Rental Rs.2000 + vat per month.

    2. and another for a rental of Rs.5000 per month (not the Office package)

    Also they said if I wish to download more I should switch to the 2nd package.

    The only unlimited broadband package I could find other than SLT ADSL is Lanka Bell. Lanka Bell offers the same 1Mbps down, 256kbps up package for a monthly rental of Rs. 3000 + VAT and a onetime fee of Rs.3360. They guaranteed that I'll get a average download speed of 150 - 170kbps.

    (1). I need to know whether it is worth to transfer from SLT to Lanka Bell???
    (2). If anyone using Lanka Bell broadband, pleas give an insight to their download speed and their connection stability

    Please state your ideas/view on the matter.
