    News Archives - 2007 SLT launch volume base broadband Internet package
    Monday, March 12, 2007
    Sri Lanka’s premier communication service provider, Sri Lanka Telecom announced the latest addition to its growing portfolio of high speed internet solutions with the Entrée package on ADSL technology. It provides the latest technology for broadband Internet access and comprises of a downloading capability of 512Kbps and an uploading capability of 128Kbps and a volume of 1 GB free every month. The monthly rental is priced at an affordable Rs. 1000/= with one time joining fee of Rs. 500/= and a Rs 250/= being charged for an additional 250MB.

    The key feature of the new ADSL entrée package is its volume based service for the internet usage. SLT’s island wide Broadband network enables high-speed Internet access to the suburbs and rural areas of Sri Lanka. Existing ADSL customers have the option to migrate from the package they are currently using to the new entrée package. Also new services such as ADSL 2+, IP TV, Video on Demand (VoD) and security services also in the SLT’s product pipeline in the very near future.

    SLT invested in the development of broadband infrastructure with a view of making Sri Lanka a broadband island, as well as in recognition that it is an important vehicle in achieving the government’s vision of e-Sri Lanka & e-Society. SLT’s ongoing 100000 ADSL expansion project also allows SLT to offer triple play services such as broadband voice based services (VoIP), IPTV, Video on Demand (VoD), e-Learning, security services and gaming, with local content provides in cutting-edge services. Globally 500% growth of broadband, which is a vital utility for both business and residence entities, is recorded globally, and SLT ADSL showed the same trend in Sri Lanka, growing to over 100% per annum during the past three years.

    Commenting on new broadband package, SLT’s Chief Corporate Officer, Mrs. Pat Abayasekara stated that “Today SLT offer ADSL in major cities. But now we are involve with making ADSL available in to regions. It is important to increase the IT literacy in rural Sri Lanka with sufficient applications on Internet focus on them to make broadband viable for expanding in to regions. We are grateful of TRCSL's speedy approval granted us launch this customer friendly package is a short period of time. This is happening today with all the ICT initiative happening with the Government support and we will see a promising technology transfer in to rural Sri Lanka soon.

    SLT ADSL allows the computer user at home or office to access the Internet at a faster speed, downloading information faster that it uploads, which is more useful when browsing the Internet. Using standard copper wires a telephone uses, it takes the user off the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), connecting onto the Internet or any other connected data network online. Providing real time connectivity, it is more reliable than analog and ISDN access, allowing the user to serve information and e-mail services directly.

    Today, the ADSL technology has evolved in to new enhanced versions like ADSL2 with a maximum speed of 15 Mbit/s and ADSL2+ with a maximum speed of 24 Mbit/s. In terms of broadband service, ADSL supports a downstream bandwidth of up to 8 Mbit/s and upstream bandwidth of up to 800 Kbit/s. Such broadband Internet service is what today’s business require to achieve measurable productivity gains in e-business.

    Significant among its features is that it not only preserves regular phone service without installing new copper wires for Internet access, but also enables the use of the same line to make or receive phone calls simultaneously, without interference. Splitters on either side will split the Telephone voice carried on the same twisted pair line. It also enables the existing copper based wire line network used for the telephone to provide high-speed Internet access and other voice, with video services based on DSL technology.

    i have an entree package. upgrading to Home express. i gave them the application about a week ago but still they didn't give it. I called 1243 about 3 times yesterday , they told that they'll give it after some time but still no response.:baffled: :angry:
    SLT sucks!
    their services definitely suck! Sri Lanka still has ADSl but other countries have ADSL2+ which is more faster than ADSL
    their customer helpdesk is the worst i have ever telephoned to.
    Now who agrees with me?
