Both fixed wired and fixed  wireless (ADSL and WiMAX) services were selected for the evaluation and  their available international download speeds during busy hours were  taken into consideration.  These  tests were conducted by a fully equipped broadband monitoring unit  established by TRCSL on its premises. It commenced its operations during  the third quarter of 2010. The initial test results recorded during  September 2010 have shown that the speeds were far below the advertised  rate during the peak hours especially in respect to the international  domains. During peak time the download speed slows down heavily causing  innumerable problems to internet users. Recent download speed tests  conducted on fixed broadband services by the Telecommunications  Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL) and subsequent corrective  measures adopted by TRCSL have led to broadband operators improving  their download speeds by over 60% and in turn ensuring a much faster  service to broadband users during peak hours. However if the subscribers  are not receiving a proper broadband download speeds in their  connections similar to the result pattern experienced by the TRCSL,  subscribers can complaint this situation to the respective operator.  The  released test results reflect the performance of fixed broadband  services in the country. The download speed represents the peak time  rates between a test terminal and a server located in a foreign  territory. For this particular test the performance and speed of  broadband services in the United States and United Kingdom were chosen  for the evaluation of International download speeds. Though the tests  were conducted over a period of 24 hours on a regular basis for the last  two months, the test results between 9 a.m. and 12 midnight were used  as the basis for the plotting of the graph.  TRCSL  has commenced discussions with operators to examine the possibility of  hosting a test file at ISP’s international POP in the future. In  addition TRCSL is planning to introduce a testing facility to enable  users to test their broadband download speed accurately by running a  service which will be available at the respective operator’s web site.  It is a well developed user friendly system that gives valuable  information to the user about the service being provided which includes  RTT, packet loss, jitter, upload and download speeds. Until such time  this mechanism is in place TRCSL will continue to publish download  (Intl’) speed test results in the current manner.  In  respect to fixed wireless services TRCSL will conduct remote tests in  other parts of the Island to identify their last mile issues; if they  exist. Concomitantly, with this exercise TRCSL has begun work on  developing new standards for broadband services in the country. In this  respect there will be two distinct standards for volume based and  unlimited broadband services. The main objective of this endeavor would  be to offer the best service to end - users by lowering the access  charges in high speed services above 1Mbps. However with the  introduction of a minimum download speed level in unlimited packages,  operators have stressed the importance of having a FUP to minimize  network abuse in the future.  The  new proposed standards would not only regulate broadband speeds but  they would also create new market opportunities for the operators to  serve a wider customer base especially in under-served urban and rural  areas where individual income is relatively low. The results of mobile broadband services will be published in January 2011.          Broadband Download Speed Test Results  512kbps Servces Month Deceber 2010  Collective Download Speed Test ReCollective Download Speed Test Results of All Operators UK  <img src="http://www.trc.gov.lk/images/stories/trc/bb_3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />      Collective Download Speed Test Results of All Operators USA  <img src="http://www.trc.gov.lk/images/stories/trc/bb_4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/6844/38569559.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />2mbps Servces Month Deceber 2010  Collective Download Speed Test Collective Download Speed Test Results of All Operators UK  <img src="http://www.trc.gov.lk/images/stories/trc/bb_2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Collective Download Speed Test Results of All Operators USA  <img src="http://www.trc.gov.lk/images/stories/trc/bb_1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/2065/46179102.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Broadband Facts <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">  Broadband  is a network service that distributes its available resources among  many subscribers who uses the service to access the Internet. The  sharing mechanism of network elements helps service providers to  minimize per user cost drastically by distributing it among many  subscribers.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">  More  or less broadband is a domestic Internet service that intends to serve  residential and small office users. However due to highly priced IPLC  charges in the country the majority of commercial institutions prefer to  use broadband services for commercial activities instead of using  Internet leased circuits.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">  Dedicated Internet services and IPLCs’ are more reliable than broadband and come with a guaranteed speed at a premium price.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">  The  speeds advertised in respect to broadband are theoretical maximum  levels and their availability will depend on many factors. The data  transfer speed in broadband is not a constant value and varies from time  to time and depends on network conditions.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">  Wireless  Internet services have their own characteristics. In many cases  wireless last mile is a shared segment. But in ADSL the last mile is not  a shared segment.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">  The  aforesaid points constitute the basis of broadband. They should not be  interpreted to elaborate broadband as a week service with inherent slow  speeds.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">  It  is the responsibility of the Internet service provider to ensure an  acceptable speed level in broadband especially during busy hours.</li> </ul>Source - <a href="http://www.trc.gov.lk/about-us/events/168-trcsl-releases-broadband-download-speed-test-results.html" target="_blank">http://www.trc.gov.lk/about-us/events/168-trcsl-releases-broadband-download-speed-test-results.html</a>.+Reps</blockquote>
