The Site With the Lamp

August 9, 2008

I am so fed up with Dialog Broadband's pathetic service that I decided to switch to Lanka Bell instead. Lanka Bell has recently announced WiMax services and already they have signed up more than 250 customers. Dialog on the other hand has less than 2000 inspite of being the first service provider to come up with the service nearly an year ago.

I haven't yet disconnected the Dialog link and that gave me an opportunity to compare the speeds of the two providers. I was disapointed to find that Lanka Bell is a bit slower.

Lanka Bell	Dialog

Two tests were carried out one with speedtest.net and the other with dslreports.com both reports show that Lanka Bell is slightly slower (they are both 2mbps lines)
