GrameenPhone started to provide internet service in Bangladesh since few years and is the first to provide such service to people. It uses EDGE technology for this. EDGE is a GSM 2.5 technology but not 3G, often referred as pre-3G.
Grammen has picked-up customers quickly, although the service was available to only limited number of people. It’s very obvious that with increase of customers, they didn't put extra care on increase of band-width. The ultimate sufferers were the subscribers who are putting money in every month and day, but not getting a good speed at all.

I am a P2 subscriber. that was so painful speed for me.
ReplyDeleteI am using a business solution postpaid connection.
in the website They say 8 kb minimum and 32kb speed vastable.
my average speed was 4 to 5 kb. I am unhappy. :-((

Yes...u r right. There are no speed. I use nokia 3230 and p2 package . This is very bad for us.
ReplyDeleteWhy!!? i use gp modem with gp internet SIM. i get average 20 kbps. it is all time keep minimum 15kbps,& download limit is cross 40kbps some times..why u not get the speed??
ReplyDelete@ahsan and shetu, buddies... u gotta use an edge modem, at least a handset with edge modem to get that speed....
ReplyDeleteI have an EDGE connection, using through EDGE Modem. Every time after logging frequency goes to zero, for which it hampers my all activity, If uninteruptted service could not be assured then I will ask the authority concern to stop the service.
ReplyDeleteGp should add 3G tecnology quickly cause gp is number 1 mobile operator in bangladesh.Thay never give low cost internet package.It's really painful 4 us.
ReplyDelete@Badhon: I don't know what u r saying 'bout, but I can assure u that inspite of having a gp modem with a gp sim, just like you, I didn't get sufficient speed. I never get speed more than 4-5 kbps. I don' know where iz the problem. I called the customer care, but they could not give me the solution. Yes, before having the gp modem, I heard about it, & heard that it provides speed upto 40 kbps, but........nothing to say.......................
ReplyDeleteI think you all peoples r wright!it's the question How ?
ReplyDeleteGPRS/EDGE internet connection speed depend on how many user
use the BTS(Base Transmit Station)while you browsing or downloading !I use a Grameenphone provided USB EDGE modem and when I brows or download i get minimum 15KBPS in my house but when I am in motijheel or DU Campus i get only 4-5 KBPS or less speed.several times and several places I tested GP internet with my Dell laptop.But in rush hour or busy area quit its provided low speed.But in off hour or holiday i get more than 40 KBPS download speed.Every BTS have a limited Bandwidth and the more user use you will get less speed though Grameenphone may have enough internet bandwidth.
the Irony of fate they(GP) take the opportunity instead of increasing of BTS bandwidth or increasing number of BTS.
Thanks everybody.
HASAN
i'm using Nokia N70 and Gp P-2 connection. but i'm getting 1to2.1KBPS only. i called customer care but they can't give me any solutttttttion. so thought P2 charged us 850/=BDT. So i left to use P2 and started to use Aktel 1GB by 316/=BDT and getting 2KBPS all time.
ReplyDeletesayem,
ReplyDeletewhats your location? getting 1/2 KBps is very slow comparing to what u r paying. u can also give a try for banglalink internet if u r in dhaka city. also configure your connection to get maximum speed.
hasan,
ReplyDeletethanks for your technical clarification, this will indeed help to understand some basic things.
gp's internet is getting good, so far i got some feedback. they have probably upgraded their bandwidth.
hi, assalamualikum for all i m using GP business solution(post paid) it give me 1.0/Mb connection speed but download speed is 16-24/kb it is slow for our we want 1/Mb download rate.And GP take 978.Tk per month that is cost for our.So,we want 600.Tk per month.perhaps all with agree my opinion. bye.........
ReplyDeleteGP is continuing the monopoly business && for unknown(?) reason our government can't reduce the charge of GP.
ReplyDeleteGP get profit of around 5000 crore taka every year & increasing onwards . But it doesnt reduce its tariff or give us the up-to-date service like 3.5 G service available in other countries, while charges us 850/- .This is so painful.GP is a traitor in telecom
ReplyDeleteWhile Indian telecom giant Airtel recently provides several Mbps , GP providing several KBps . :))
ReplyDeleteIsnt it ridiculous ???
gp should reduce their cost of monthly package, its big indeed. since many of general subscribers are using p2 unlimited, they should think about it. the other two packages are useless i think.
ReplyDeleteunlimited should be within 300 taka per month with current speed.
michael,
ReplyDeletegp is giving internet with edge which is 2.5g, and max speed is 230 kbps which is max around 20 Kilo-Bytes per second. bd government has not yet been allow license for 3G/3.5G, so i think even gp has the infrastructure they are unable to provide the service. also the bandwidth required for supporting such speed to each and every customer having 3g device, would be a real challenge.
we have to wait till all these are setup for public use.
3G FiGI! dia kaj hobe na jodi na bandwidth charge 30000 taka(approximately)/per megabyte tika 5000 taka ba kachakachi namay na nia ashe.bujechen vaiera.
ReplyDeleteI believe the government should not be looking forward to give 3G licence rather they should think seriously about reducing the bandwidth price and ensuring that the existing service providers do provide the maximum. With the available infrastructure, operators like GP can provide a lot faster service but they are providing the least. I believe that the govt. should quit itself from becoming the sole authority to bring bandwidth and allow the others to be connencted to the submarine cable on their own. It should be stressed in everywhere and ensured otherwise whatever new technology is installed, they will be worthless.
ReplyDeleteImran bhai,
ReplyDeleteCan you please help me to know what is the tariff and Line rent and Pulse of Business Solution Postpaid connection?? Thank You. Kamal

GP=SHIT !!!
ReplyDeletei live in dhaka cantonment, Zia Colony, Malotika Tower, 13th Floor.
ReplyDeletei'm gp xplore postpaid used and mine line rent is 50 taka. i live in dhaka cantonment,zia colony, malotika tower 13th floor. i got 1/2 kbps from p2+nokia N70 by 850 taka excluding vat. so i left gp isp. now i'm using aktel 1GB and always getting 1-2 kbps. sometimes at 3am to 5am aketl giving me 21kbps download speed. why not all time? why GP don't this kind of service?
ReplyDeletehow can they ? gp is owned by Telenor, one of the biggest mobile service providers in the world, also the government doesn't want reduce the price of internet, faltu digital bd er shopno dekhay but internet cost komay na
ReplyDeleteinternet is very costy in bangladesh.Gp have to reduce their internet cost.i m using p2 and it is very costly for me so i leave it next month
ReplyDeleteI have recently bought GP modem. I use my existing prepaid sim with P2 unlimited package. I live in Mugda , Dhaka . Here I am getting 12-16 KB/s on average but sometime I get more than 20 KB/s . You can't believe Yesterday I got 40 KB/s for 1 hour from 7:00 pm onward . If the speed is slow for any day I don't get less than 5 -6KB/s. At least not as of now. I am quite satisfied with the connection. Earlier I used Citycell Zoom. I used to get max 2 KB/s in it . So I replaced it with GP Internet.
ReplyDeleteBtw, Yesterday , I talked with a GP customer care executive about its speed . He said it depends on the location where you are staying at & the modem that you are using. He said if you use Huawei-GP Modem then you will get very good speed since they have developed GP Internet software within the Huawei Modem .(I don't know if he was just promoting the modem or the fact is right) He also requested me to wait till few months if I need more speed. They are trying to give much more speed then present with the EDGE Modem . They will soon get 3G network after Govt. approval. When 3G comes there will be separate 3G Modems for GP but at the same time as a subscriber of EDGE Internet we will get more speed then what we are getting right now. Even more than 50 KB/s or 100 KB/s in your EDGE Modem using regular GP Internet.
this is just a bogus idea to use huawei-gp modem for better speed without any question.
ReplyDeletewith 3g, if you want to get it's speed, you MUST have to have 3g-compatible modem, no doubt about that. with edge modem, you just CAN'T enjoy 3g speed, you may get a slight better speed, but thats for the bandwidth. this is a basic thing.
don't get fooled by gp personnel.
i get 290kbs its so fast im happy
ReplyDeleteGp sobcheye boro dakat. tara cost na komale amader uchit gp boykot kora
ReplyDeletehow do u so sure that u r getting 290? whats your avg download speed?
ReplyDeletei like gp-internet but did not work same time.. some time internet spped 5/kb per second some time 2/kb per second.. but why.. i like high speed internet. plz speed up gp-internet.
ReplyDeletei'm currently using gp p6 package. but with gp modem, i'm not getting my desired 13/14 speed. can i get better speed with the unlimited package?
ReplyDeleteI use both GP Internet and Aktel Internet. In GP, I get 15 kbps (highest) and 9 kbps (highest) in Aktel. They both are cheater. They told us about 'high speed' internet. If 15/9 kbps is high speed, then what is 512 kbps, 1 mbps or 2 mbps internet?
ReplyDeleteaktel is just a cheat, don't use aktel.
ReplyDeletefor gp, raise a complain to gp customer-service and try to convince then, they should able to help you out.
Good evening.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why govt. are not taking some positive steps such as reduce the bandwidth price, allow 3G, Put some minimum speed limit for the operator to provide to it's customers! And they said they came to form a digital Bangladesh. p6 is user friendly as u can't utilize the full benefit of p2 paying 976 tk.
i think citycell gives us a better speed by a reasonable price.
We should keep in mind mobile operator came Bangladesh to make money not for social well fare.
Hi guyz. . .I live in barisal in da main+busy point of da city. . .And using nokia 6630 as a modem. . .I use gp smile & use p4/p6. . .I get avarage 15-20KBps download speed in da pick hour. . .And 25-30KBps in off-pick hour. . .Sometimes i get 40KBps+. . .I downloaded 120MB File in 2 hours. . .I think its better than aktel/banglalink. . .And now waitin for 3g/wimax. . .
ReplyDeleteI have used aktel earlier which was the 1gb package Avg-5kbps low-1kbps high-8kbps.Heard dat gp provide better internet service avg speed-15kbps.But,when i hooked up the P6 and using it currently i get lower speed than aktel 1gb package.GP P6 Avg-2kbps low-200bytes high-7kbps.I live in lalmatia.Aktel 1gb costed me 315tk and provided me better service than gp p6 of 345tk.Broadband connection are way better than any operator in bangladesh.Citycell also launched high speed ultra internet but too costly.TK4500 per month for 512kbps internet but the users got 22kbps avg and 20kbps minimum.It is so high cost for that bandwidth.1000-1500tk per month broadband service is a better option.But waiting for wimax to break the wall when gp and other shits will get some beating of their lifetime from wimax.600tk per month for a dedicated 128kbps connection or 16kbps minimum download speed is wayyy better.
ReplyDeletegrameenphone has stopped p2 unlimited internet package for its pre paid users, pre paid users only have p5 and p6 packages which has 3 and 1 gb limit respectively, so no one use gp, it sucks, use aktel, they have 5gb package which costs only 750 taka, speed is about 10-12 KB
ReplyDeleteI use gp p2 package with my histon 'edge' modem. speeeeeeeed 20 to 35. thats superb.
ReplyDeleteARE u kidding. If u r not then u r an idiot the maximum speed u can get in GP is 64kbps. Though the retailers might tell u it is 236kbps which is false. That is the modem speed actually.
ReplyDeleteWHERE DID U GET 290KBPS FROM NITWIT.
We do not get good speed from any mobile operator. Govt. does not help us or them. Govt try to sell bandwidth in Nepal and Bhutan. :(
ReplyDeleteyou rule bro!!!
ReplyDeleteGP=DEEP STINKY SHIT
you r right about oparetors. they just money, they don't care about us. whatever they r doing is to make money, even giving us bad service!
ReplyDeleteyou must b a fool. u think 20-30 kbps is fast? fast, when the cost is 978 tk per month? at tk 978 we should get at least 128 kbps! sorry bro! but u should think again about the speed...
ReplyDeletehello,
ReplyDeleteI'm a gp p6 subscriber and i can proudly say that Grameenphone is providing really very good speed. It's about 2o kbps average. before subscribing to it i would never think of getting so much speed. I used citycell zoom with an Alcatel music phone and the speed was not really good . it was aboyt 8 to 10 kbps. But now I am having a problem with the service. that is how do iknow how many megabytes are left after i use it? is there any way to know how many Mbs are left? pls someone give me a reply before my 1GB get finished.
hey nur,
ReplyDeleteI wanna say that at tk 978 its truly not deserving to have any 2o kbps speed but i don know if you know it or not GP P6 package is giving that speed at tk 350/month . you say or not that's superb

ReplyDeleteHello I am using gp package 2 with my nokia 5800 . But the speed is very bad around 8-10 kbps. In pick hour sometlme the speed falls to 5 kbps. Its very disappionting.
ReplyDeleteHellow, im using both aktel and gp's internet packages. In my home (N. Gonj), i got 1.37 kbps fixed browsing speed in aktel, and 4 kbps (average) in gp. But in Mohammadpur, i got more than 15 kbps in both aktel and gp. So i think that, connections speed depends on area where you are in.........
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI am using gp internet with p2 or p6...
My average speed is between 25kbps to 30kbps..
But when i goes to my home town Bogra I get upto 30kbps...
I wondered for that some time it gives me 60/70 kbps..
But in dhaka Dhanmondi area some time i get 5/6 kbps

instead of telling the name of the company, tell where their head office is or where we can get the connection too. Oh & also your whereabouts if you don't mind, cause seriously, the speed you're talking about is unheard of !!

ReplyDeletewhat the hell happened to grameen phone internet?i used to get 14-20 kilobytes download speed all day long before october 25th 2009.and browsing was a breeze with grameen phone.but after october 25 th for some unknown reason grameen phone internet is giving me so slow download speed all day long.
ReplyDeletei can only get 2-4 kilobytes download speed and that also is not stable.except a few times all most always when i try to download any file from rapidshare or any other source download gets broken only after a few minutes.
even when i just browse websites there seems to be packet loss or something like that.data flow seems goes like this start-stop start -stop and sometime page reloads with me refreshing the page.
I use citicell zoom with alcatel music phone as a modem.With citicell zoom I have downloaded 115mb in 3 hours.In day I get average download speed of 10-20kbps.I use internet download manager.Is it better than Grameenphone?
ReplyDeleteI am using AKTEL's unlimited (post-paid) package costing Tk. 825 with VAT per month. With Nokia n73, I get speeds between 15-25KB/s. However, it took me about 40hrs to download a 1.4GB movie (Transformers 2!) as the speed fluctuates often.
ReplyDeleteCorrection - the time for the 1.4GB download was 32 hours (not 40hrs) and the average download rate was 12.5KB/s.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me where you got it? and how can i contact them? please give me a phone number or any address
ReplyDeleteusing ipod 3G, getting upto 40kb speed. great speed considering its bangladesh.
ReplyDelete#best phone to use is iphone 3g.. with its 3g and edge capabilities.
ReplyDeleteother phones like Nokia 5320 or edge capabilities phone also will have good internet service.
ReplyDeleteI agree with shamim vai. Something really bad must be happening with their internet service( like switching their internal infrastructure from ericsson to huawei perhaps) or they are not capable to handle the bandwidth requirement load anymore. From last december i have seen a drastic degradation of their average bandwidth delivery from 20-30kBps to 4-5kBps. And sometimes even lower. It almost feels like the ancient bttb dialup service. Download has almost become impossible for frequent disconnection in data flow. I am using edge p6 on my nokia 3100c and connecting to it from my laptop using bluetooth. I live in east nasirabad ctg. Any suggestion for an similiar alternative would be much appreciated. I am fed up with this crap. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteReplyDelete
grameen phone is the worlds stupidest company!!!
ReplyDeleteI got 150kb with my n78. better than ur iphone.. lol
ReplyDeletei dont agree with u. I pay 1000 taka for 256kbps internet.and 128kb line rent is 700taka.
ReplyDeletePlease hammer some sense into your government. They shouldn't even wait to approve 3G, where the rest of the world is going way farther. I get constant 124KB/s on a 1Mbps dedicated, unlimited mobile broadband line at only the equivalent of 1000 taka (using Huawei E220). There are lines using the same modem that can reach 3.4 Mbps, and another modem which is currently peaking at 7 Mbps.
ReplyDeleteHello i use grameen phone internet i get a max speed of 276-289kbps sometimes actually its beacuase i hacked it using different tools but i can't get more than 290kbps
ReplyDeleteas i said i use techincques to speed my internet speed to 290kbps and it's really i get it sometimes it's not a modem speed
ReplyDeletehello friends i use gp internet package 6 i get most of the time 102,184,221,211,235,246kbps but after sometimes it is disconnected will someone say it,s darn problem thank you
ReplyDelete@nabila islam,
ReplyDeletewhat modem u use? whats your os? i guess u don't use blue-tooth for the connection.
do u use mobile-phone's own software (like pc-suite for nokia) to connect to internet or the connection is created manually?
can u try disabling start-up programs from start menu->run->msconfig and try after a fresh restart?
for speed thing, if u get average 25 kilo-bytes/second during download, thats indeed a good speed.
a new virus attacked my computers internet connection.problem was that when start connection after 10 second the speed goes zero and i was disconnected.i tried to complain several times but mobile operators cant solve it.then mcafee viruscan plus and kaspersky internet security caught it.it is a trojan virus found at c>document and setings> administrator. virus name like this z10aptj.but mcafee virus scan enterprise cant detect it.mcafee virus scan detect it after upgrading.but kaspersky internet security is very good and it caught 95 virus at my computer.but i have not the licence any one can give me licenc? send id please pothik56@ gmil.com
ReplyDeletei use grameen p6 connection. Its 29th day of my duration of usage. Do i need to just refill monthly 345/ TK. charge or again I have to send message to 5000?? I have 1 days remaining to exceed as well as I have not exceeded 1 GB limit.
ReplyDeleteHi all,
ReplyDeleteI use GP internet with EDGE modem, you know the one from Update company, been using it for about 3 yrs now. When I use this in Mohammadpur, I get speeds around 10kBps(80kbps), but when I use it at home in Uttara Sec 10, I never get more than 3.5kBps(28kbps). Since I always use it in Uttara, it's so annoying. So is there any solution to this?
I was thinking about getting Qubee or Banglalion but neither have coverage in Sec 10. Sad. So, what should I do? I'm not willing to take broadband, so is there any wireless solution?
Thanks everyone.
GP is a robber.There's no suitable internet package for pre-paid customers.
ReplyDeletep5 package costs 805tk (+vat)(3GB) where p2 package is 970tk but unlimited.I get a good speed from 10 to 30kbps using gp-internet but p5 or p6 package does not satisfy me(high cost but restricted usage).Banglalink p2 package is good but i am afraid abot the speed.Did any one use banglalink net? How speed it renders?
You must browse the web occasionally since I can't avail p6 package longer than a week.
ReplyDeleteof course.
ReplyDeleteI used other operator's sim in my gp modem and it worked.
ReplyDeletewhy are you so obsessed with GP internet, Just through it away and try wimax,at least you will get speed according to your data plan. Not like GP cheater, they only talk Big.
ReplyDeleteI m using GP,as far i know,GP net is the best of all but lacks suitable packages.If we wanna browse a good amount in prepaid package,its too difficult.All of us know that about the amount of pre-paid & post-paid customers.
ReplyDeleteI dont wanna say about other operators.In kalabagan a broadband provider named "DCL",is a good internet provider.I hope all areas should have a net provider like "DCL".Its speed & customers managemrnt is quite good.
hey..guys..i have a free advice.. if you can afford get 1 zoom ultra 512kbps..at the moment i get speed averaging from 428-638kbps..however the max i got upto now is just 987kbps..itz great ..wireless plug & play..video streaming..without buffering..i used to use GP but it totally su****.. so if you can afford get 1 zoom ultra and that will fix all your problems regarding internet speed
ReplyDeletehey man are you gone crazy !!!!! zone ultra package fee is so high.5GB=3500+vat can you imagine that.
ReplyDeleteGet wimax just 2500 tk 512 kbps unlimited.
i want to know all kind gp internet service pakage
ReplyDeleteAll the operators are cheater. They are using the tricks of bit and Bite to allure customers.Firstly GP modem used to show the connection speed in KB/s but New Gp modem shows it in Kb/s. Can you imazine you are thinking your speed as in KB/s as usual. And as per Citycell zoom is concerned they claim their speed as 512Kb/s as maximum.But transform it in KB/s. It will be around 50KB/s. And you will get to spend 3500tk for that.With 1Gb package you will have 150Kb/s maximum. Which is about 15KB/s.In this respect I will say GP is the best. Because I get speed of 25KB/s=250kb/s average living here in Comilla.Sometimes it goes about 40-50KB/s=400-500kb/s which is really good. I suggest anyone to browse the internet using some tricks when there is less traffic. And the time would be 9-11a.m. and 3-5P.M. Really amazing speed during the time.You can use download accelerator to download Plus.It enhance the speed near to 7times.You may get amazed when you will see the speed 60-70KB/s higest during the time with download accelerator. So, use the tricks. O, one thing modem doesn't matter.
ReplyDeletehey any one know when gp will launch 3g.please reply my question.
ReplyDeletei was hearing about this like the license to be given in june, and i guess operators are ready with infrastructure, so they should be able to provide that within next 2 months.
ReplyDeletewimax is not available in my area plus zoom ultra is now 50% less which means => 3500 => 1750tk
ReplyDeleteWell I'm aware that the original post is more than 2 yrs old, yet the problem still exists and will continue to exist.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a P2 subscriber (unlimited use). Stat for this month: 170 MB download in 16 days and I remain connected for more than 12 hrs a day. This has been the scenario for at least 6 months. I complained a few times but they say everything is OK, no problem.
GP is the only operator in Bangladesh which doesn't care about good will.
So horrible service they provide. Where there is 4G technology starting all over the world GP still providing 2.5G. I think EDGE is enough to satisfy Bangladeshi peoples if they could provide sufficient bandwidth.
ReplyDeletesome of you guys get 2-4 kbps speed but I get enjoyed when I get 1kbps speed because 90% time I get below 1kbps and maximum times just few hundreds bytes. Even to load this post it took about 4 minutes for me.
Its really very very funny. GP in their advertisement always says they are bringing light to peoples. But, my opinion is this kinds of powerless light will just make our peoples blind. Every night I struggle hard to upload 5-6Kb files. I think if I work in agriculture field this will be more profitable for me than IT service with such internet. Maybe some of you guys will ask me why I don't get broadband internet. My 3 months experience of 256Kbps connection by BDT 2000 per month gave me below 1kbps upload speed always.
So, where are we now? Is this the sign of our Digital Bangladesh? I think govtment either blind on IT or dreaming to make digital Bangladesh in just words without strong communication technology. Otherwise those kinds of internet services shouldn't still permitted in country.
So, my opinion don't use GP internet. Don't waste your time and do something else. And my request to GP please stop emitting such kinds of lights of IT because your light intensity will make people's IT life really blind.
Bangladesh's Post and Telecommunications Minister has confirmed that the country will offer 3G licenses by the end of August, although the exact method allocating the licenses is still being worked out by the regulator. "Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) is formulating required guidelines which will set the process for awarding 3G licenses," Minister Razi Uddin Ahmed Raju told the Chinese Xinhua news agency. Although the details are still being worked out, an official confirmed that there would be at least four licenses made available. The country has been promising to award 3G licenses since 2008, although political issues with the transition of the government was held responsible for most of the delay. "It is estimated that there are over 6 million mobile internet users and already today 15 percent of the mobile handsets used in Bangladesh market are 3G enabled," Arun Bansal, managing director of the Ericsson Bangladesh said last May. The country currently has six operators - and according to figures from the Mobile World, ended Q1 of this year with just over 55 million mobile subscribers - which is still a population penetration level of around 35%. Also worth noting is that while the country has six operators, only four of them are of any significant scale, Grameenphone (23.9m), Banglalink (14.2m) and Aktel (11.8m) and finally, Warid Telecom (2.9m). The two remaining long term incumbents, Citycell and Teletalk add up to 2.9 million customers between them.
ReplyDelete@Sujan,
ReplyDeleteeven though i am not a gp fan, i still have to say, this shouldn't been happened for you. i think there might be some issue with your internet configuration or your location or something. you may help yourself considering following issues:
whats your exact location and how is the network signal there in your phone, exactly from where you are connecting?
do u use phone or modem? which one? does it have edge?
is there electrical/magnetic equipments near your phone/modem? you need to get rid of them
whats your computer and OS? go to "msconfig" then "startup" tab clear all items except virus-scan on-access scanner and restart computer?
there may be viruses in your computer. get a latest anti-virus installed, update latest definition and engine, check every single disks
if required do a clean os installed
turn-off usb-cd auto-run
uninstall unnecessary software that you don't need at all but somehow got installed and remain same
turn-off auto-update feature of your windows and of all the software that has it by default
lets try above procedure and let us know whether you are getting a better speed now or not.
It is no speed at all. we are not mad.
ReplyDeleteacctually @ rabbi u r right.
ReplyDeletei have huawei e15550 3g modem. if govt allows 3g than edge users will get more speed.
i have gp business solutions postpaid and get about 15 kbps download speed well not all the time only on off pick hours. so ya thats it
do u really think gp will go in this webpage and read these comments and increase their bandwith. nop i dont think so..
ReplyDeletesome gp personnel should be reached this page and then should read, but band-width, that may not be anyway thought, let alone do increase.
ReplyDeletekafi if you have 512kbps(kilo bit per sec not kilo byte per sec) connection than you can get 64kbps(kilo byte per sec)if you have 1 mbps (mega bit per sec not mega byte per sec)then you can get 128 kbps(kilo byte per sec)
ReplyDeleteHi Ruby, I understand ur problem. i faced the same problem as everyone is facing. I discussed this matter with the GP engineer also. They told me that the normal GP modem or other phone modems are GPRS class 12 and cannot give you maximum speed. Some new model Nokia set is giving GPRS Class 32 modem built in. If u use such modem u will get beter result as i am getting. also try to use IDM for downloading anything.
ReplyDeleteআমি gpinternet p2 subscriber. by nokia n73 আমার download speed 2.5kb/ps. so আমি GP INTERNET P2 কে 3 তালাক দিলাম
ReplyDeleteHi frnds,
ReplyDeleteI m using gp unlimited 800+ per month in an avverage speed of about 20 kbps.
If anyone wanna have this speed they should use a download accelerator softwire, otherwise the slow borring net download of 2-3 kbps.........
Hi,i am shakil student of kuet 09 . I use gp internet in gp modem but the price of packages is not comfortable for us.gp should offer more packages with low cost and also think about the speed. . . .
ReplyDeletedownload accelerating manager does not provides you the actual speed
ReplyDeleteAnd you should understand the difference between KBps and kbps
which one is better Citycell or GP
ReplyDeletefor using internet in laptop
Citycell is definitely good because it's stable, however bit costly over GP. if you do not download too much, you can go for Citycell provided that your area is under its network and is good.
ReplyDeletei want to knw which one gives more speed
ReplyDeletefor browsing as well as downloading
Citycell's max speed is 512kbps, but its costly. for cost, pls see package information on Citycell's website.
ReplyDeleteGP's max speed is 253kbps (thats the EDGE max speed), its 920 taka/month unlimited.
if you need more speed in browsing and downloading, then u have to go for Citycell if cost is not factor.
as an alternate thought, if you do not move frequently, you may consider using wimax. it will give you maximum speed, 2000kbps even which is anyway more than GP or Citycell.
Actually I live aboard and I am coming to Bangladesh for vacation
ReplyDeleteI want to surf net over here at least with good speed so I wanted to know
then you may go for Citycell
ReplyDeleteHy all, i read many comments. But i think gp is the best though speed flacture. Download speed nokia E63 dia valoi pai 12kB/s. Bt pc te obosta kharp. Kalke akta gp 3g new modem ta kinlam but connect haoar sathe sathe dc khassi. Onekbr try krtasi bt kaj hsse na. Abr mobile dia hoy. Gp te call daoa mane tk nosto ar chea gpc te jaoa valo. Dake kal jabo ke je hoy
ReplyDeletehere is some suggestions:
ReplyDelete> can u check the signal from the exact location of your modem? just put your mobile phone and check the signal. also check patiently whether the signal is dropped suddenly. if the signal is not good, then try use other operator SIM
> for internet connection in PC through a wireless modem (either mobile phone or dedicated modem) always try to keep the area of your device clean and make sure you do not physically move near it or touch it. better if you can use an USB extension cable and connect your device and keep it away from you or at a place which is clean and remains static. try to keep the device far from your body for all the time you use internet
> check your computer's start-up programs and disable as many possible (check whatever is really necessary for you to be available at start-up). for me, i've disabled all the programs except virus-scan
> check your computer's windows services and disable the services not necessary or connect to internet automatically (like windows update service)
> update your OS, try to use Windows Vista or 7
> DO NOT use utorrent and browsing at a time. either exit from utorrent (or any other torrent program) and then continue browsing and vice-versa. sometime even if you exit utorrent, it remains in the memory, open task-manager and do "end process" after selecting utorrent
i believe, if you follow above procedures, you should be able to get at least some improvement in your internet experience.
GP is the most cheater!!!I bought a 3g edge modem with internet SIM. I get 5 kilo Bites max and some times it supplies less than 200 bits/sec. Even sometimes it shows 00 kbps.The interesting cheating is ” Statics may not be accurate! ” It shows many bits per second…….But if I begin to download something…..the original speed shows max 5kB …………What a fool they make us!Another cheating is when I complain at 121 a sweet(!)voice receives the phone …….. delayed answering passing the time with the useless information……About after 10 minutes they say the same memorized tune……..How can I get ride of it? Is it the symbol of digital Bangladesh? I cannot able to use 1 GB per month cause of its low speed……..
ReplyDeletemy reliancenetconnect speed is to be told to me that its speed is between15-30kbps but i am only getting a speed of 5-12kbps
ReplyDeleteplse increase my speed
hi now I also use P2 but get on average 15-25 Kb/s.Do you use a usb modem or just a handset?Because it matters a lot.But last two days I have been getting 2-5 Kb/s.Is it the network?
ReplyDeleteSorry thats 15-25 kBps.
ReplyDeleteDear Juwel Rana,
ReplyDeleteYou said, Gp should add 3G tecnology quickly cause gp is number 1 mobile operator in bangladesh.Thay never give low cost internet package.It’s really painful 4 us.
THATS TRUE. SO if we gather all gp customers and fight with GP then we should have a good result.
What do you say ( Not Chatro Legue )
oh khairul you know that gp use edge system for internet it is so slow to download . if gp use 3g system than they can provide fastest internet . but btrc can't allow them to provide 3g system .it is very pain full to us . you know what? in india 4 operators provide 3g means 3rd generation networks so in indian net speed is so fast .
ReplyDeleteami sony ericssion k800i dia internet use kori. avarage 2-5 kbs speed pai. ami 1 ta modem kinte chai 3000 takar moddhe. please give me suggession by email. address= palash01717139399@gmail.com
