LEARN

The Lanka Education And Research Network is the NREN (National Research and Education Network) of Sri Lanka, which interconnects Educational and Research institutions across the country. It is an advanced network supporting IPv6 and multicast.
We currently interconnect all of the UGC funded state universities, a number of public universities under other ministries and private universities, the University Grants Commission, the Ministry of Higher Education, and a number of national research institutions including the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Our network currently includes optical fiber links ranging from 34 Mbps to 10Mbps to most campuses, and 2 Mbps links to universities at distant locations where optical fiber is not available. Smaller institutions/ campuses are connected with links ranging from 2 Mbps to 128kbps.
We also have a direct connection to SchoolNet, the network connecting secondary schools in Sri Lanka.
We have redundent international connectivity through multiple operators. At present out main international connectivity is 155Mbps (shared with SchoolNet). A 45Mbps link to the TEIN3 network is also planned.
LEARN is also an serving as a provider NREN in the South-South Exchange of Research & Education Network Experience (SERENE) program.

    As i think SLT ADSL 4Mbps is the fastest shared connection a normal user can get.

    You can get dedicated or leased connections faster than that in SL. But will cost tons more and need some special equipments too.
