    Why you should not buy Dialog Broadband? - Education thread # 1.

    Introduction.
    I am a Dialog HSDPA customer since October 2008. At many times I am not happy with dialog HSDPA. It is the waste connection I have ever had. Dialog's main work is cheating innocent people and make money from them. Dialog HSDPA is a nice example for that.
    So, Finally, I decided to share my experiance with dialog HSDPA and educate people on this matter.

    Ok, Let's start with Dialog's new prepaid broadband.

    Dialog has introduced a new prepaid broadband, I examined their price plans came to a conclusion not to buy that.

    Reasons:
    1. the 24 hour is subject to a Fair Usage Policy!:angry:

    2. When we are browsing the net with this package, we can use that only for the given time ( 30mins, 2 h and 24h). Let's take an example you download with 30mins package, if the download is finished within 20mins, you'll have to disconnect it or else even if you keep the connection idle, the 10 minute will go down, that is to say, even if you chat in skype with someone for that 10minute, it will be a loss to you! '

    And let's say you buy that 30mins package and start to download, there is not gurrantee that you'll get full speed from dialog, sometimes you'll 1 mbps, sometimes you'll get 10KB/s, so you can't buy that plan with a stable time estimate! If you get 100KB/s, its ok, what if you get 10KB/s? You can't download a software within the given time! at the end, waste of money!

    Still do you think that this prepaid connection is cheap!

    And in the 24hour package, if you download 5GB the speed is reduced around 40KB/s and when 6GB used it reduces to 8KB/s! Even you cannot download a movie with it!

    What are alternative to this?
    If you need a prepaid broadband, the BEST thing is to go for Mobitel's daily delight!

    Leave your comments.

    *This is an educational campaign thread based on the theme "why dialog HSDPA sucks?"! more threds coming soon. Pass this to everyne you know!

    Bro- I am not supporting Dialog here.
    But, I was kinda attracted to this package.. Thats why I put up a thread on it for the information.
    I guess you are wrong in the first point. i used that 20 Rs package.. and I was able to use that 30 min within 2 hours span.. disconnection within 5 ,10 min etc. But, I disconnected every time.
    It is catering different need. Not for users who are being connected and staying idle.
    I agree with your speed concern... Speed fluctuates. I live in Dehiwela and I use the postpaid package . I get some decent speed between 750Kbps-1MB most of the time.
    I guess this will be a good alterntive for the people who use dial-up connections. Not for the people who stay 24 hours online.

    And about Fair User Policy- I bet they cannot implement Fair User Policy with this set up- I used this connection and this was routing to their exact wiFi page. so, they have to use their WiFi server to control the data usage. I really doubt they can implement Fair User Policy. anyway, I am using this 24 hour package now planning downloading some TV series and movies. guess I can give a feedback on this. Some others also could do the same and see...

    Of course - Thats what I said , we need to use and see. Amy Operator in Sri Lanka should mention FUP because of TRC restrictions. I don't think they can implement FUP with this specific set up.... I am using. I will revert back when I pass 5 GB limit

    Prepaid: Mobitel Daily delight

    Machan Try to understand....
    Mobitel Daily delight is good for that ppl who Online all the day long....
    But they gives 50 or 100MBs per day...

    But this Dialog KIT BB gives Unlimited data plan....
    This connection is for Data hungry guys...They can download larger size files with kinda good speed.... So dnt compare these two connections...:yes:


    Post paid: Mobitel Zoom

    With Mobitel Zoom they gives 7GB for Rs 2499/= i think..Im i correct..?:rolleyes:
    But with Dialog Student package they gives 7GB for Rs 1600/=...
    After that still u hav internet for free (But 64Kbps)...Remember this is a Student Package....So dnt say Students cnt Download TV series or Movies in 64kbps...:D



    postpaid unlimited: Airtel

    I think Airtel BB is not a good BB service to even tawk abt it:D
    IF EK search Button Works....Type "Airtel (Hulantel) Broadband Speed test - ahu wenna epa" % search....U'll hav a nice thread with nice Posts...:lol: :lol: ;)
