Some information about SLT ADSL...

[BlackNight]

It's not a 512kBps guaranteed connection. 512kbps is the maximum.

But with bearshare sometimes I get above 800kbps for a period of 20 - 30 sec.......maybe its wrong

Yeah it is wrong. It happens to me too.

It does the same thing with IDM (i.e. goes to 80kBps+) as well, but NetMeter never shows the download speed exceeding 57kBps.

SLT were going to give new ADSL packages along with the current home and office packages, but the TRC (Telecom Regulatory Commission) hasn't given the approval yet.

Anyway, the pricing is too much IMHO. They were gonna charge Rs.1,000 per 1GB of data download, and still the speeds will be same as the current ones. It will be OK for people who only use ADSL for web browsing, but for downloaders, it's just a JOKE.

Is it an Option?

I mean Can we get anyone of them.
Current ADSL or New Package...

or will there be only that New Package available for New users?

You misunderstood. There isn't anything to feel sorry for. You better read the whole thread, I mean the posts.

Still there is no new package. I don't know if this one will ever be given the approval.
