I am a dial-up connection user. I am waiting to use WIMAX, wireless broadband internet facility. I have noticed on the Daily Star, Bangla Lion going to introduce it, asked for registration from today. I am very much eager to see Bangladesh as a DIGITAL BANGLADESH with WIMAX.
ReplyDeleteminimum speed 128 kbps (15.6KB) ....?? I thought 128KB :(
ReplyDeleteBanglaLion Communications SUCKS?!!!
ReplyDeletewhat is this only 128 kbps?holly shit.i think it would be MBPS.WE NEED THAT
ReplyDeletethis is pure crap, i get 128k from gpinternet. when will we get mbps speed? and what happened to augere?
ReplyDeleteI want to know the exact day of starting WiMax connection in Bangladesh!I can't wait anymore!!
ReplyDeleteAnnouncement of lunching WiMax is a milestone steps for us.we are waiting for that day.I am sure this is helping us a lot to become a digital Bangladesh.
ReplyDeleteaugere ceo is in BD right now.
ReplyDeletePrice should be 50% of decleared price and the bandwidth must be 3-4 time better then decleared 16KBps(128Kbps).
ReplyDeleteIf their speed is 128kbps then its very bad.
ReplyDeleteI have used 160kbps (20KB)in GP Internet.
Now from my ISP i am geting 32KB at 1200 taka only.
I want at least 64KB at 1000 taka from Wimax.
Bangladesh ICT webportal
http://TechnologyBangladesh.com
why we are thinking for kbps,please think a faster bangladesh where speed will be several mbps...mind it otherwise you should not be initiatives...
ReplyDeleteDear Ripon,
ReplyDeleteHow do u get 160 kbps speed in GP internet?
Its totally impossible.
I get only 20 kbps(average) here.
Please tell me how?
just for your information,
ReplyDeletekbps = kilo bit per second (small "b")
kBps = kilo Byte per second (capital "B")
so 160 kbps,
= (160 x 1000) = 160,000 bps
= (160,000 /8) = 20,000 Bps
= 20,000 / 1024 = 19.53 kBps
we measure download/upload speed in kBps on computers.
hope this helps to understand.
i wanna know. when this facility will be come in the market, and by haw many ammount i have to pay to get it.
ReplyDeletei am willing to pay tk 400 to pay on each month for unlimited use. and i suggest to the connection fees should be tk 450 each.
I am so much upset. Wimax provide only 128kbps? I thought it would be in mbps. I have a national phone dial up connection with 230kbps. At first I got 10-15 KBps but now athough they have 230 kbps I get only 3-4 KBps :( Np sucks!! Will the wimax act like that? We need atleast the speed to saw youtube video within 20-30s buffering. We need more speed to build our country digital within 2021.

@ hussain
ReplyDeleteBanglalion advertised 128 kbps (15.6KB) unlimited use for TK.600. Keep in mind that this is their initial offer. I am sure when there is demand in BD they will start offering several mbps.
Also anyone know what happened to the 3rd license. I know augere and Banglalion are staring soon and that brac backed out.
ReplyDeleteGood news. Augere is backed by France Telecom, so we can expect better price from them. I also heard Augere will offer at least 1 mbps (128KB) connection.
ReplyDeleteonly 128kbps????? sucks!!!!!
ReplyDeletewe need 128KBps man.
come on wake up BANGLALION !!!!!!
@rana use edge modem.then u can get speed > 20 kbps
ReplyDeleteI was very much pleased to see that banglalion is going to provide 128kbps speed. But soon i realized that it's 128kilo bit per second. We already measure our internet speed with the scale of KILO BITE PER SECOND. Where, other countries' measuring scale is MEGA BITE PER SECOND. Why banglalion's measuring scale is KILO BIT PER SECOND? Don't they want to march on? Why they are using kbps scale with a large 3digit of number 128? They should not deceive people. At a first glance everyone is becoming confused of thinking that its KILO BITE PER SECOND. Banglalion sucks.
ReplyDeleteSo why they r saying that we can watch tv wit their connection n it will only take 10sec to download a 5mb song from net!!
ReplyDelete8MBps (1MB) is needed. Why you people are asking for 1MBps (128KB) line? It's Bangladesh. Ask Tiger u will get cat. So be logical.
ReplyDeleteIts really sad.We need more speed for watch mobile tv.That ppl never understand it.
ReplyDeletei use zip broadband internet for 24 hour and paid 500 tk monthly my speed is about 16-20 kBps recently i watch bangla lion will lunch wimax internet with 15.6 kBps(its shame) for 600 tk( may be).now guys u tell me may we use bangla lion internet?? (another installment cost as well) i am afraid about those type of speed like 15.6kBps its a great shame that bd people still cant watch tv in internet. simple cam chat is a great trouble. i bought a cam i use this 1 month then i sold that.my cousin live in france he said his original download speed is about 35 mBps he download 1 gb file within 20 minutes my friend jalil works at japan his download speed is about 64 mBps.our bd people dont want that type of speed. they just want vedio chat comfortabely and watch tv.i suggest bangla lion provide at least 512 kBps speed around 500 tk.but plz dont say wimax is high speed wireless internet bcase u also know in other countries dial up net speed also about 56 kBps.
ReplyDeleteonly 128kbps.............is not enough
ReplyDeleteWe need at least 128kBps............
only 128kbps(15.6KB)??????
ReplyDeleteits shame.
i thing 128KBps & i alrdy reg.wimax
but now i said banglalion - you wna CAT.
i use brodbnd con with 20KB & pay only 600tk per mnth.
so,pls lion mke 1Mbps speed as erly as psble
just to share with you all...
ReplyDeletei used WiMAX in KL and getting speed 700Kbps (some time i get 1.5Mbps) and all this i get when i am on car/on bus...thats i am on mobility....people who are arguing that they can get 20KB++ in GP...is it in mobility...??? definitely not...bcoz...GSM/EDGE can not support this...
another thing i want to add...i talked with Banglalion they said..128kbps is minimum i will get...the maximum is around 50-70Mbps...so...just think about....i am paying 600++ BDT/month and getting higher bandwidth then....who will be winner...
JUST TO INFORM.....128kbps is minimum.....not fixed...if you consider 128kbps is too low...then i think u should go to google and find the actual speed of WiMAX....and then put comment and compare with so called GP internet...it really suckssssssssssss.....
GO WiMAX GO..
only 128kbps!! very very poor internet that digital bngladesh? i don,t believe so. If Banglaedsh do not built up to extend speed internet,then Bangladesh will be very very best slower internet in the world and bad service and rank 1!!!! slower internet.
ReplyDeleteWe not only expecting the wireless broadband but also speed. Plz consider the situation when the broadband speed does not exceed the dial-up one! Our expectation is a marvelous speed....click and open. Thank you.
ReplyDelete@ Quazi
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are the only person that can read. Some of the other people are ridiculously impatient. And yeah GP EDGE can not support 20KB I don't know how some people are getting this probably "magically"
n/a
ReplyDeleteShame on banglalion and their so called "high speed internet service" if they offer 15.66 Kb (I's a crying shame for WiMAX).
ReplyDeleteAnd to QUAZI >> Bangla Lion will give 50 to 70 mbps..?? For What... like @ 80000 TK. Per Month..!!??... And Why do they use small letter 'kbps'...!?? While all other countries and ISP measure their speed in KB/MB... SiMPLE,.. they just want to fool the people of bd & make the digit look bigger..Cowards>>>
Folks in INDIA can get 2 mbps for Just 300-350 rupees (with a very little installation fee) Keep in Mind that WE ALSO HAVE TO PAY ADDITIONAL 3500 TK. FOR THE MODEM TO BE WiMAXed (or should i say Wi-trapped)..
We the people of Bangladesh only need 1 MBps @800 tk. per month.. Too bad it's never gonna happen.... :(
So Guys don't use WiMAX from BanglaLion (or should we say ***********..)
They can easily give us a very good speed within a reasonable price but why should they..?? The want all your money...!
If BanglaLion does not take installation charge then it would be good. But if it takes above 500Tk installation fees then I can say it is a big problem for people. In this poor country high price is bad. Banglalion should be practical not ambitious. Though its speed is under average but it is good for less money if it takes from people. So time will say everything.
ReplyDeletehehe.....
ReplyDeletei filled my 2gb pendrive within 20-30 min in singapure.
even local broadband connection are supplied with normal wires.....we need OPTIC FIBERS all over the country in each n every client's House
@ wimax...........i thought u would come with a bang......but u know what your 15.8KBps.....
is nothing compared 2 my AGNI dedicated surver...i pay 1500tk n i get 70 kBPs.....so literely u wimax sucks
15.8 KB in WiMAX.. Can't stop laughing... Can't stop crying...
ReplyDeleteGod save us from this moneyseeking outrage...
BanglaLion go to HELL... May they burn in there forever...
You will never succeed in bd..
Our curses will be alwyas with you.
@ Silent Killer
ReplyDeleteI hope you do know that Banglalion already signed up 6000 customers. And they will offer 1mb and 2mb connection after few months.
is it 128 kilo byte or kilo bit per sec?
ReplyDeletemay be quazi is right, whatever... i'll first check how much they are actually providing and only then i'll go for it... i live in sylhet... can anyone tell me if they are launching it in sylhet as well simultaneously... or if i'll have to wait till....
ReplyDeleteInternet users' are not that dump (!) Like your Bangla-Cat genarator user.
ReplyDelete128 kbps (15.6KB) ….?? Holly Cow. No better than national phone/ dhaka phone,
Goli- Mohalla Broadband service provider.
1. Tk.600. (month)
2. A new WiMax modem Tk 4000 (AppX)
Note: How long it will survive max 2 yrs.
3. Existing Edge Modem Tk.5000 is total useless.
Note: Resale vale Max. Tk.1200.
4. A series of 5/6 day advertisement, fianl day-final offer is shocking 128 kbps !!
5. Total flop. license should be canceled.
Dear.. BB
ReplyDeletefools are everywhere.
--- after few month(s)..
i will signup.. when it's 1 MB !
128 kbps "minimum"
ReplyDeleteThis "minimum" is a very trickyyyy word.
we are used-to get the less. What's the "Maximum"
@ BB
ReplyDeleteIt's very easy to sign up 60000 people when you have a healthy 3 digit '128' kbps speed @ 600 Taka in your advertisement... I bet a big number of people don't know that it's actually 15.6 KB...Crying Shame... It's really sad to see how the people of bangladesh are being cheated... Plus there are also hidden cost of 3500 tk. for the modem... So I guess the scenario will be something like this.... : 'You spend 4100 tk + VAT for a internet connection with 128 KB speed on your mind... then you find out it's not what you've thought.. It's 15 KB... That's right you've been cheated... Again..."
And why they want to provide 1 mb after two months.. What are they afraid of..??
And 1 mb means 120 KB.. Not 1 MB (DON'T EVEN DREAM OF IT).
It's sad but true...
Suck balls banglalion...who will buy thier shits with for this speed...not me...I am happy with my national phone which has 230 Kbps...MBps was a dream.. gov needa give us wimax for free!!!! only that will help us to improve
ReplyDeletehellow every body.... in wimax it is very easy to provide avg 70mbps...but what is banglalion doing..... yes they really want the develop in it sector......is that right....Now it is time...to do something....... we can jointly protest against the ****** banglalion offer..... 128kbps...600 tk monthly and with out vat..... i use gp with nokia 3110 my modem provied 460kbps browsing speed and 12-15 KBps download speed...i use google chrome...with software it can increase up to 25-30KBPs so we should **** the banglalion....if they dont provide atleast 2mbps speedd...amm i right
ReplyDeleteaah, we ar cheated by others & frm our self..cause we ar needy..i need a net line which provide max speed with my expense limit..so, who or what they ar i don't mind but point is having the most better servise..as a poor or developing nation i can say, we should watch forward to reach a stage of pride with Brave..... see yaa nxt timeeee........ armaan'
ReplyDeleteThe way banglalion advertized that their spee witll be 42 times faster than landphone internet connection it seems that they meant 128 KB/sec. We can just hope that they meant 128 KB not 128kb. They should actually consider that they are investing a huge amount of money just for purchasing the licence and it will follow with heavy installation costs and other overheads, so if they want to decieve the mass people and try to sell the crap, I don't think they will be able to do any business in Bangladesh. I think they should give a clear statement through a press briefing to eliminate the confusion among their prospective customers. As they are advertising to start their operation from 1st of JUNE, they should clear the confusion before that. If they lose the trust of public at initial stage it will be very difficult for them to regain that again, I am sure.
ReplyDeleteNow we r seeing that, most of the internet service provider company saying ...they r providing the speed 128kbs,256kbs...etc, but actually we seeing they r totally lie....
ReplyDeleteSo our hope to Bangla Lion that, they will be not like others.....they will provide actual speed...
All our high-speed internet browsing dream is shattered by this terrible news.. But even though one thing give me pleasure when I think that, after spending 231 crore taka only for licence BanglaLion will be a great failure & will struggle to pick their investment money.
ReplyDeleteThey are doing business in Bangladesh. They should know how to deal with the people of this country.
They think they can easily fool the people of Bangladesh.. What they don't know, that it's not that easy.. People will only change their internet connection after seeing some logical facilities... And when you provide 15 KB @ 4715 TAKA (3500 taka for modem ; which will last for two years+690 monthly charge{600+90 vat}+525 taka VAT for modem) then there are no alternative but to fail miserabally.
Our hope is now the french company 'Augure.' We hope they will not dissapoint us...
Don't be nonsense and yell at banglalion.... If our Govt selling 1 mbps speed for 22k/monthly.. how do you expect Banglkalion giving you people 1 mbps speed via wimax and charge you only 1 k or even 2k monthly? !!! Now lets calculate the rate ... Lets say BanglaLion buying 1mbps for 20k from BSCCL.. then, 128kpbs speed should be around 2500 taka ...
ReplyDeleteNow, if Banglalion promises you to give you 128kbps for just 600 taka monthly .. that is one hell of a good price. and those who are saying you are getting 30kB(kilobyte) which is around 256 kbps just for 1200 taka monthly ... Boy, your ISP doing VOIP bzness ... or the owner has so much money that he even don care spending his own money to give our boys that much bandwidth to enjoy youtube and downloading movies using torrent or rap|dshare.
Now, if any of u think, i'm somehow related to this bangalion or other ISP ... I'm not .. I'm just writing here the facts ... I'm paying 18k monthly for 512 kbps dedicated connection .. so if someone gives me 512kbps for 3000 taka .. I would also jump on it... but No way i'm getting that speed/price ratio for my important work. So, my request, b4 you yell at ISPs like Banglalion, ask our Govt to reduce the BSCCL bandwidth rate .. so ISPs buy at low rate and we also get internet at low rate also high speed ..
by the way, on other note, I'm glad Banglalion gonna provide minimum 128 kbps for 600 taka .. I hope they keep their words and really provide such speed.
Till my next post ... `cheers all ...

@ YDD
ReplyDeleteMr.YDD, don't be a retard.
We don't measure our net speed in 'kbps'. We measure our browsing & downloading speed in KB. So be logical.
You said goverment sells 1mb (120 KB) @ 22'k'.. What do you mean by this 'k'. We don't measure our paying in 'k'. We measure our paying in 'taka'.. So be logical.
And no matter what you say to defend banglalion.. They will fail..
If normal broadband ISP can provide 120-128 kbps (12-15 KB) @ 650 taka per month without vat & without any installation charge then who (except you) will buY their nonsense @ 4715 TAKA..
Go get a life..
I already have a life killer dude..
ReplyDeleteISP in all country sells bandwidth as mbps ... megabit per sec .. not megabyte ... like in USA I usede AT&T dsl .. 3 mbps for $25/month thats around 380 kiloByte per sec... So, if you look at those ISP's websites, you'll find they r selling their package stating megabit .. not megabyte ... Ya, what we see in download bar while downloaing, is kilobyte thus we calculate speed with byte not bit ... but ISP always sell bandwidth at kilobit/megabit not kiloByte/megabyte.
by 22k I mean its 22000 taka ... thats the rate of BSCCL .. so, you can now calculate, whats the price of 128kbps(15-16kilobyte) as you said, ur local provider gives u 16 kilobyte/s for 650 taka .. u r lucky man.(also many people having 32kilobyte which is 256 kbps for 1200 taka) In Dhanmondi BDCOM charge u 1000 taka and gives u 16-17 kilobyte/s .. sirius broadband aka Zip gives you constant 30 kilobyte for 1200 taka ... (please figure how they can afford it)
And with local provider now a days we face power outage.. so connection is not always 24/7 .. but with wireless, I hope there wil be no such downtime for power outage.. its true how many can afford wimax .. but my post concern was not that, what I wanted to say is, The price they set is not total illogical. BSCCL should cut the bandwith price...
When more submarine cable link will be in the country .. the price will go way low like India and some other country ... but don't expect those mpbs price rate like north america and some europian countries in some years ...

@ Silent Killer
ReplyDeleteNo One is forcing you to sign up for BanglaLion. If you don't like their service then don't sign up with them. There are many broadband providers, go with them. No need to use profanity here.
When Banglaion (And Augure) comes to the market there will be more competition with other providers, so prices will drop. People should be happy that there are more competition. That how mobile prices re so low now. Instead Silent Killer and other people uses word like retard, fu*k and other profanities. Come on grow up.
ReplyDeleteMy cousin just called Banglalion, they will offer 1.2 mbps (1280 kbps)(150 KB) to corporate customers first then to residents after 6-9 months for tk 5000/month
ReplyDeleteThis is will bring more competition to our market. Go WiMax.
ReplyDeleteto all...
ReplyDeletei said we will get...128Kbps minimum...maximum is unlimited....(now days...17.2Mbps are achievable in device)...so SO CALLED BROADBAND...provider....can they provide such speed........i think.cannot......in this world...they can not...definitely we need to pay...to get more speed...
in this world...nothing is free and cheap..u have to pay...
i think...our govt...and regulatory body will sit together and decide whether we need speed or not...because....operator are willing to offer speed but..so called this govt..scrap...and btrc..scrap...
i know some people who are working this bW uses plan in govt...and BTRC...office...they dont know nothing about IT or telecom...and they are putting such....kind of guidelines where...user like us are suffering and pointing each other....i think...this officers need to move from their chair...and then we can ....get.....BW...with minimum payment....
just to share with u all....our SEA-ME-WE-4 cable usage is only 15-20% of total BW...so....
where are we now....now we are thinking another under sea cable.....is it a joke...are GOVT trying to...get money in their pocket.....
we should rise our voice....about this..then...we can also get huge BW...in minimum payment....
finger crossed to see it very soon
take care
Quazi..... :)
More competition & lower price.. Yeah we can see what a beautiful competition we r seeing when all the mobile phone companys have doubled their fnf & other call charge.
ReplyDeleteIt's not our job to ask the gov to reduce the charge it should be the headache of those wimax ISP's.
If BanglaLion can't provide high-speed internet service @ affordable price then they shouldn't have said that, "people can get 42 times faster speed in low price" and raise the expectation.
And 1.2 mb @ 5000 taka is by no means is suitable or affordable for the people of bd. Just wait & watch how BanglaLion fails.
It's a good news that WiMax gonna launched at last in BD, althoug speed is low. But they said it minimum, not average!
ReplyDeleteLook at what GP internet is providing: Current average speed is around 30KBPS (Kilo byte), but often we get it as low as 3-5KBPS (Kilo byte), even less than that! Then what's the minimum speed of GP? It's 3Kilo Byte per sec! And it's upto 10 times as average speed!
So we can hope to get a average speed of 80-100KBPS (Kilo byte) from Bangla Lion. Yeah it's not high speed. We need more speed to make our country a digital one!
I'll say 80-100KB per sec is high for us in this condition of our country! Bcz we can't hope to get MBPS (Mega byte) speed @cheap price within the next 10-15 years! It's the reality. We should understand this.
If u use to say odd words to these sectors, there will be hard improvement!
What we should do is to change ourselves!
Our main problem is corruption. If we can get rid of it, we can hope to get MBPS speed soon, otherwise not!
Grow Up People, Grow Up Bangladesh
Silent Killer you want things for free...yeah no one will do that in this world. They are many people (mainly corporate)who can afford at those prices, I guess you are not their target customer.
ReplyDeleteBy the way most corporate customers pay about tk 18,000 for a dedicated 1.2 mbps connection. If a company can get it for only tk. 5000, then its a great deal.
ReplyDeleteওয়াইম্যাক্স এর ডাউনলোড স্পীড ১৫ কেপিবিএস!

no wonder bracnet withdrew their license. i'm using bracnet n payin 1200 bucks a month n i get 128 kbps - 256 kbps (16 KB/s - 32 KB/s). often i get upto 45KB/s.
ReplyDeletewith dis shit startin 128 kbps (16 KB/s)..........i wud say HELLLLLL NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
there's no way im using this shit.
I agree with BB and YDD. If any one to blame it is the government. The fnf tarrif is increased because of the mobile operators you think? who stopped the free calling at night times you think? the mobile operators? No it is the government ruling. and now government has increased the fnf rate to help the state owned teletalk. We people always blame the isp's. But we should blame the government because they are not decreasing the price. For your information you can get the minimum price to get a connection for isp visit the btrc website. u'll see the price hike. The question is whether banglalion is giving dedicated or shared bandwidth? If it is dedicated then it would be a good speed comparing to the price and also comparing to the speed/rate ratio from the isp.
ReplyDeleteActually we are thinking that WiMax will provide the greater speed than we are using now, unfortunately that's not true at all. Because WiMax will provide only 16KBps speed that is already existing in Bangladeshi market provided by GP. So, my question is if WiMax provide the almost same service why we will accept it?
ReplyDelete@ Kibria
ReplyDeleteDon't accept it. No one is holding gun to your head and forcing you to use WiMax. If GP's internet is good enough for you than continue to use it.
i use smile broadband connection..i get 20kBps from there @ only 575..then y i use bangla lions package..i think dis is a very shame f**king package..we need at least 128 KBps within 500 taka..other wise******.....
ReplyDeletewimax is part of digital bangladesh,i think this connection will be favourites when 128kbps give all country of bangladesh,
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity!!!
ReplyDeleteDeceiving the customers with a 3 digit figure......!!!
When will we be able to get out of silly business talk and really try to do something for our country?
most of us already use connections with 15-20 kBps download speed at 500-600 taka...why in the name of GOD would we want to change to a lower speed and pay an installation charge (3500+ taka probably) in the process !!?????
BANGLALION SUCKS....
Dear BB,
ReplyDeleteIf you don't mind me asking, do you work for Banglalion or you want a job there? You seem to have a very soft corner for them for no good reason. :P
Hahahahahha,
ReplyDeletevery very nice conversation.
damn man, i really enjoyed ur conversation.
now let's come to the point. Buddy BB y do u have such a soft corner for Banglalion? no hard feelings but dont u think this is a bit unethical (not illogical) what banglalion did? everyone was expecting something new something booming and something higher and that banglalion came out with that very old idea, same bit & byte trick.
no body is holding a gun at my head, or forcing me but still dont u think as they are investing 215 crore only for the license so it should be their headache to expand their business by persuing the govt to reduce the bandwidth price?
dont know what will happen, but really hoped that at least, as a residential user i will get 80-120 kB dl speed. but nothing to loose, as we are the citizen of a third world country, where corruption and cheating is an integral part of the whole system.
cheers!!
only 128 kbps that means 16KB per second!!!pooooooooorrrrr.so i m not gonna change my current line.we want mbps soon at lower cost..
ReplyDeleteyesss this is all about BANGLADESH,if we heard about 8G in bd its a wise thing to not being excited coz even thn we cant get mbps speed at low cost like in other contry,coz our govement think about only n only business not about us.bangla lion disappoint me :-(
ReplyDeleteDear Acidage,
ReplyDeleteI fail to understand the stat you provided. First, all B's are capital, so i assume all of them are bytes, not bits. If the assumption is ok, then the trouble begins. If your speed is 437 KB/s, it'd take only 42 seconds to download 18 MB, not 9 minutes. And if u downloaded 18 MB in 9 minutes, then speed should be 32 KB/s, not 437 KB/s. 32 KB/s is easily achievably with gp sometimes, without any tricks.
And i don't know what Banglalion will do, but if they provide only 16 KB/s, they'll be domed with their huge license fee. I hope they won't be dumb enough to do that. But for now, they should immediately launch a press conference and make clear statement about speed, because they've already got a negative image among users even before launching. This will be a lethal blow for them.
@ Mordeth
ReplyDeleteAhhh you caught me. I am the owner of Banglalion.
Acidage brother i just saw your pic upload and laughed throughly.... ur pc is slow thats why the cache memory showed it. lemme calculate it for you...
ReplyDeletefor the instance lemme show ur download speed:
18.67MB
duration: 9min 14sec
speed: 437kB/s????????
hahahahahhahahaha
size
18.67*1024=19118.08KB(just to make calculations easier)
time= 9min 14 secs *60 =554 ses
then ur speed is:
34.51KB/S
which is petty good as ur house is prolly near the network tower ad there are very less users or none. i was a gp user too so i knw.. please dont call yourself a hacker as u cant even calculate this and your funny pic showed this... anywayz your post made me laugh for a while soo thank you for the entertainment.. anywayz keep uploading.... ahahhahahahahahah
o btw wimax will use IP6 technology which i bet will be a piece of cake for you to hack.... hahahahhahaha
tc ppl and pray for the great wimax in BD...
@acidage
ReplyDeleteHow u get 437.83 kBps dl speed in GP? :o
Yeah wimax will work better. But question is: will they be able to provid best service?
Government gonna include BTCL, BSCCL and Teletalk under only a sector, which will be a pvt ltd company and will be controlled by government for a long time. Then think who will provide best internet service in BD? Obviously BTCL in very near future :)
@Acidage,
ReplyDeleteyour comments fall in category 'spam' by wordpress auto-span chekcer, are these targeted for spamming? if yes, this blog is not for you bro. pls take a look for other blog-areas.
@2kool,
thanks for your calculation mate. this should have clear-up the confusion made by Acidage.
@All,
pls check for comments whether it really makes a sense before you reach a conclusion.
thanks everybody for your comments. keep posting.
@BB,
ReplyDeletehey man, give all the people in this thread 1 MB/s speed at 600 taka per month and we'll keep our mouth shut about your bit/Byte scam... :P
Surely you can do that as the owner of Banglalion.. ;)
:) :)
@2kool,
ReplyDeletethanks bro, i was going to write the same, you saved my time, and your last para just 'killed'.... ha ha ha ha ha..........very well put......
and @Acidage.....It was a nice laugh you gave us...thanks man..... :))
@2kool
ReplyDeleteThanks mate for your calculation. :) I was confused about that.
I get around 30kBps speed in GP in Pallabi. That's quiet good. But I'm not satisfied with their data limit, which is just 3GB per month for 850Taka! Need unlimited data access. Hope wimaX will do that.
@ UNK
ReplyDeleteGP's 'P1' plan offers unlimited data access for 1 month @ 1125 taka (1000+125 VAT) per month.
Also 'P4' plan offers unlimited data access for 1 day [12 am - 11:59 pm] @ 71 taka (60+11 VAT). {though gp says in p4 'only 150 MB usage limit' but they actually provide unlimited usage :) }
i used this P1 & P4 through my mobile phone to pc... Not really sure about the gp modem.
I get speed around 25-30 KB...
Sometime i get 42 KB+ for few sec
i am using gp's p2 for 8months . i am using an EDGE modem + sony ericsson w610/k550 handset . and i m getting 25-30kb/s speed 24/7 . so whenever banglalion offers more speedy connection then may be i will b thinking to take it but not b4 that .
ReplyDeleteThe same suggestion also goes to my other internet freak brothers here .
Peace .
@ Mordeth
ReplyDeleteNo I wont do that. I just want to take your money and rip you off. Good day.
@Silent Killer
ReplyDeleteThat's P2 and P4. Not P1. You should call 121 for more info about P2 and P4. P2 is now 850Taka+Vat(for postpaid) and data limit is 3GB, although they say it as an Unlimited Package. But true is they are providing a total of 3GB. If you exceed that, you'll be charged 2 paisa/KB. Same in P4. If you exceed 150MB, you'll be charged 2 paisa/KB.
@ UNK
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about P1 or P2.. (confused...) I used that a long time ago, at then it was unlimited usage for 1 month.
But I'm quite sure about gp's P4 ('cause I use it). In P4 They offer unlimited (NOT 150 MB limit) browsing, downloading & uploading for one day @ 71 taka. There are no usage limit (Really..!!). Though they say that there are 150 MB limit but it's unlimited..!!!
Aktel also have a similar package for one day usage @ 65 taka. But unlike GP Aktel has a 200 MB limit (Not Unlimited Usage). Aktel's browsing speed is fast but download speed is very poor (3-6) KB. So overall gp's P4 is the best.
@ UNK
ReplyDeleteI just called GP's 121. They said that P2 is unlimited (NOT 3 GB Limit) @ 978 taka for 1 month. They reduced their price from 1125 taka to 978 taka.. :)
Their NEW internet package (modem+gp sim) has "3 GB Limit" @ 805 taka per month. They call it their 'discount offer'. So brother UNK, I suggest u 2 use the 'P2' package for unlimited internet :)
You might call 121 to clarify your doubts.
@ Silent Killer
ReplyDelete"They reduced their price from 1125 taka to 978 taka"
See, what happens when there are meaningful competitions.
I agree that grameenphone is giving all the packages for internent-P1, P2, P3 and P4.
ReplyDeleteP1- 1000tk (excluding vat) for prepaid users, 850 tk (excluding vat) for postpaid users and it is unlimited
P2- 0.02 tk/KB.
P3- 300tk (exluding vat) for night time 12am-8am. It is also unlimited.
P4- 60tk (excluding vat) for prepaid users and it is definitiely limited to 150 MB.
You can check it here: http://www.grameenphone.com/index.php?id=472
And the new campaign that is given with edge modem for 4400 tk bundle price is charging 700 tk (excluding vat) and limited to 3GB for first three months. After three months the subscriber has to choose the packages stated above.
Do you guys can't see one thing?
grameenphone is giving the edge modem for 4000 tk. It is only an edge modem! but you'll get a broadband modem for 3500 tk(excluding vat) when banglalion will launch. Edge modem has a limit. But the modem supplied by banglalion it can obviously take much more better than the edge modem.
Above all they didn't launch yet. We don't know about their quality of speed. at first when gp first introduced edge anyone of you guys used that?
with a 56kbps modem what should you think would be the download speed? 7 KB/s. Try the BTCL land line internet. I used that. costs only 10 paisa/minute (excluding vat). But with that I got as high as 10 KB/s. how is that possible? It is used to give me 7 KB/s. How can it give me 10KB/S? You can't always calculate KB using kbps. The last friday I used to connect my nokia 6120 classic with pc. there it showed to be connected with 115 kbps. But with that I got as high as 17 KB/s. It should be then 17*8= 136 kbps isn't it?
So how do you think 128 kbps will mean only 16 KB/s? It may be more than that. I'm not telling you it will be certainly, but who can say it'll give us what we want from them. Time will say that.
Very bad, very very bad.....
ReplyDeleteAnyone here having disconnect problem with gp internet (P2 package) ?
ReplyDeleteI leave in Siddheswari, using gp's P2 for 5 months, download speed 25-30 KBPS (with IDM), But line gets disconnected after each 1.5 to 2 hrs of continuous download (100 - 150 MB).
I used prepaid package, and both EDGE modem and Samsung E250, but faced this problem with both of them. In case of EDGE modem I have to unplug the modem and connect it again and restart the software driver again to get net connection. And in case of the Samsung E250 I have to disconnect it first, then restart both PC and handset.I am suspecting that the cause to this problem may be my prepaid connection and a post paid connection may solve this problem.
I face this problem when I download files continuously. If anyone is facing similar problem and want to advise solution, plz do. any help/ suggestion will be highly appreciated. thanks in advance.
@ Silent Killer
ReplyDeletethanks for your information. I also checked out that after your post.
@ Arman1982
GP P2 is unlimited and P1 is as u go, as u pay (0.02 tk/KB). P3 is only for postpaid and P4 is for both prepaid and postpaid user.
GP is selling edge modem, which can't use in any other network, except gprs. On the other hand BanglaLion will provide wimax modem, which also can't work in any other network, except wimax. There is no common modem, which can be used for all network. You have buy always different modem for different network (gprs, wimax, cdma, edvo, wifi, dsl etc).
With your Nokia 6120 classic phone, you'll be connected with 860.4kbps modem in your pc! One more thing to say you that 8 bits = 1 byte. So 128 kbps (kilo bit) can't be more or less than 16KB (kilo byte)
Ah yeah we can hope and only can hope for a better outcome from banglalion, but there's no surety!
But the truth is we will get nothing from banglalion indeed.
@ BB
ReplyDeleteYeah I understand what you mean "Mr.Self-Proclaimed-Owner-of-BanglaLion." You are trying to show the fact that by the competition like the mobile companys the price of WiMAX will also decrease. But also understand this, the way banglalion deceived the people by their "bit/byte trap"... it is going to be very hard to regain the faith. (Don't get me wrong, but in this country almost all the local broadband isp's measure & sells their connection in KB, So oviously people thought 128 KB)
I personally met & talked to atleast dozen of my friends & relatives who were very happy with the news of their 128 kb speed, but when they learned that its 15 KB they were very dissapointed and angry with banglalion. With the local isp providing better speed @ lower price all of them said Hell nooo way....
I think its about time for BanglaLion and other wimax companys to sit down with the gov & re-negotiate about price of bandwidth. They need to provide 128 KB @ 600 taka in wimax, not 128 kb. If they don't do that then i don't see any reason why the home user's should change their net connection or even pay more than triple amount for this 15 KB crap...
Look what banglalink did when they came, they gave some unbeliveable offers to attract the customers and now they are they 2nd largest mobile network in bd. But look at warid, they couldn't attract the customers with their crapy offers as a result they are way behind in the competition..
I also think that BanglaLion needs to give some clear statement through a press briefing regarding their speed and offers...
People are really eager & excited about wimax and high speed internet. WiMAX isp's needs to take that opportunity.
I also heard BanglaLion is not as financially strong as Augere. While Augere paid their licence fee BanglaLion is yet to pay it completely. As a bangladeshi i would alaways want see a deshi company to dominate the market and keep our money in the country, but looks like Augere is going to be benefited with their huge foreign capital and take our money away to france.
@ Silent Killer
ReplyDeleteYou have to have some faith in people, if they are "tricked" then they will not use that service any longer. Augere is backed by the Multinational France Telecom so they are loaded. Anyways, more providers, more competition equals less price for consumers. By the way Augere is 60% owned by Foreigners and 40% by Bangladeshis. And recently Banglalion paid they fee in full amount.
only 128kbps………….is not enough for me
ReplyDeleteWe need at least 1MB or >>>>
pls !!!
MR. SMILE SAID...........
ReplyDeleteHa ... ha....ha...........!!!!!!!!
only 128 Kbps ??????
WiMAX....... No, plz say...WiMIN.....
ITS better to use dial up,..
ha ha .......ahhh..............
@UNK
ReplyDeletesir have you go through the website of grameen phone?
yeah I altered P1 and P2 accidentally but P4 is only for prepaid subscriber. It is said in the website.
When anyone will try to connect his/her phone to the pc then it may be connect with its maximum speed or may be connected with lower speed. Though as you say my set can be connected at 860.4 kbps but it is not same all the time. But can you tell me how you've calculated that one?
@ arman1982
ReplyDeleteLike I said before, P4 is totally unlimited :-) @ 71 taka [60 taka+9 taka VAT+2 taka activation sms charge] see it yourself. I m 100% sure. Call 121, they will also say that it's unlimited.
Remember before 2 year when djuice-djuice sms was free But it was unannounced. The unlimited p4 was also like that. Use it to belive it... :-)
@silent killer
ReplyDeletethanks for the information. I'll then try it. But the problem is to use P4 I've to change my sim. bcz I'm using a postpaid connection right now.
ok no problem. Thanks again for the information.
It is not too much fast. I think 512kbps should be
ReplyDeleteminimum speed. I can't understand why Gov.+ ISP
are not taking any better steps to make it faster.
hey lion u r really suck man. Damn its 128. hahahahah don't push this connection here or anywhere in bd. Go f**k offf. Really u r damn.
ReplyDelete@UNK
ReplyDeleteI'm posting in this blog right at the moment using P4. Sometimes (for 10-20 minutes) I got speed as high ss 17 kbps while was connected with 430.8 kbps. Hearing you I contacted with GP customer care. There customer manager said me that P4 is not unlimited (limited to 150 MB). And it is for prepaid subscriber only that he confirmed. It seems to me now that I've to see it manually whether P4 is unlimited or not by using the net.
Does anyone out there have any info about augere or mango.
ReplyDeleteWhen will they start...
What are their offer !???
if it only 16 kbps why people use it
ReplyDelete@ mehedi447
ReplyDeleteI also faced this disconnection problem. I guess this happens when gp's server slows down for some sec & modem cannot recieve any data thus it stops..
This shit is really embarrassing. I use gp's net with my nokia 6680. When the modem disconnects i have to restart my phone and have to re-connect the phone with pc to start the net again.
I face this disconnection problem at least 15-20 times per day. For example when there is a file downloading and 2-3 web page is loading there are 95% chance of getting disconnected. I haven't found any cure for this problem. There no auto redial option for modem either. I have to restart the phone over and over again.
Is there any any gp user have any solution for this problem ??? If you have then, Please reply.
@ Silent Killer
ReplyDeleteWhat type of connection do u use - pre-paid or post paid?
I haven't found anyone having this problem who is using post paid sim.
well nope its not happening with my pre-paid using p2 .
ReplyDeleteI use gp net in P4 in my pre-paid sim for one day.
ReplyDeleteI cannot use yahoo voice chat because everytime i try to have a voice coversation the modem disconnects :-(
When there r too many pages loading then often the modem disconnects. Is there any way to stop this problem ??
Also when i download torrents then if the speed is slow then the modem disconnects..:-(
I guess there r no way to stop this.. But is there any way to make a auto redial for the modem so that every time there is a disconnection the modem automatically redials itself to re-connect with the network with restarting the phone ?? Reply if u know
WiMAX is coming very soon, possibly 1st June in Dhaka city. And hope its speed will be better than GP. Cause GP is cutting a big service charge but her speed is very poor. Otherwise, WiMAX speed 128kbps is not so good in the internet world. BanglaLion should be increased his speed. And service charge should be in 500tk/month and 12hours (half day) for 250tk/month. And this service system should be prepaid system like prepaid mobile sim. Its maximum customer will be students and most of the student will not use it continuously.
ReplyDeleteHope Banglalion increases his speed very soon. And without speed increase + reasonable service charge, they will not get a vast of customer.
@ i_against_i
ReplyDeleteThe best investment you can make in learning proper English and proper manners. Good Day.
@ Silent Killer
ReplyDeleteAugere's CEO came to BD last month and will start service sometimes this year. While mango still didn't gather the money to pay for the license yet. Mangi is not financially strong, moreover BTRC is planning to introduce more operators to IIG,IGW, and ICX so mango's IIG monopoly will go away. Then they will be in even weaker financial health.
From the Daily Star article.
ReplyDelete"According to the policy, only a limited number of companies will get the licence for international gateway, interconnection exchange and international internet gateway. But we are now planning to open the licence to about 10 companies for each of the sectors,’ Zia said.
After the review by the committee, the policy will be reviewed again by a high-powered committee, he said."
It doesn't matter if there r 3 companys or 10 or 100 companys..
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that matters is the users getting high speed internet @ cheap price.. But at this moment it seems absolutely impossible to get..
I heard more than 60% of the submarine cable are unused.. No wonder the price is so high & the speed is damn low..
I don't understand why the Wimax isp's aren't taking any steps to do something (or anything) about it. It's they who are going to suffer BIG TIME.
aktel reduce their internet cost.Does anybody know how much speed can I get in aktel?
ReplyDeleteIf bangla lion gives only 15 KB (appro.) then it will hard for them to get more customers. Everybody should know some hidden costs of bangla lion.
1.The modem - 3500 tk
2.It is not prepaid. So if you use or not you have to pay 690tk(individual with vat) per month.
SO don't be cheated. Think before do.
@ shanto
ReplyDeleteAktel's download speed is super slow. You will get around 4-6 KB. So don't use it.
Switch to GP. They are whole lot faster then aktel. You will get Minimum 10-15 KB and often you'll get 30 KB. use p2 or p4. P2 is unlimited for 1 month & P4 unlimited for 1 day. I hate gp for their high call charge rate but in terms of internet they are the best.
@ Silent Killer
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't think Dhaka=Bangladesh. 90% of BD is outside of Dhaka where many of those places don't even have dial-up, they will happily take 15KB, I think.
Bangla Lion's total bandwith 2.5giga = (1024x2.5=2560 mega) and 2560 mega= 2560x1024=2621440 kilo . they totally have 2621440 kilobytes of total bandwith.
ReplyDeletenow let's divide it with the single bandwith they are providing 2621440 / 128 = 20480 connection . so my saying is that according to that calculation they may give only 20480 connection . pls dnt neglect it and try to figure it out by ur self wat i ment .
u mean only 20480 people will get that connection :O . what about the rest of the people in our country ?
ReplyDelete@silent killer
ReplyDeletetry using by nokia pcsuite. in nokia pcsuite go to the 'connect to internet' and from there connect your device. Obviously there will be another modem automatically generated in your network selection folder. But try this. With this you may be able to reconnect more fast than dialup. And it might also help yor not to be disconnected. I used through this and never got disconnected. And I downloaded more than 150 MB in whole day and never got that disconnection problem.
@tanvir
where did you get 2.5 GB? that is not GB brother that is 2.5 GHz. Don't misunderstand it. GHz is different than GB. Even BTCL (the fastest ISP in Bangladesh) use less than 25 mbps (13.6 mbps or 23 mbps). With 13.6 mbps they can give you numerous of connection. What is GP using? I'm not sure but may be they are using 2 13.6 mbps line to provide us gp internet.
A wimax connection using 802.16 wlan can give a speed as high as 70mbps. So the banglalion 2.5 GHz connection can give you as high as 70 mbps speed. As it is a radio network so there should not be any limit like 20480 connection can be made. FM is another radio network. But in Dhaka every person can hear it equal clearly if he/she get the network perfectly isn't it? So if wimax is also a radio network so everyone can except equal speed I thnk. If I'm misunderstood this matter plz anyone can make me clear about this.
ReplyDeleteis it a joke that bangla lion is giving us just only 16KB??um getting 16 KB from my broadband service provider just in 800 tk....what the f*** that mean that they r giving us 16KB in 600 tk...we need 1mbps at least.....banglalion should think abot it...if they giving us 16 in 600...just think about it that they will provide us 32 in 1200..that means 1024 KB or 1 MBPS in 38400 tk????suck my balls yaar...why the government give this project to this shit??
ReplyDeleteNAHIN
I'll be happy if I get 100kBps[800kbps] speed with no glitch for BDT.690.
ReplyDeleteNow, the speed stated in BanglaLion's website[128kbps]............is that browsing speed or download speed...or both?
@ arman1982
ReplyDeleteI alaways use gp net through nokia pc suite. But the disconnection problem is alaways there. Sometime i see that my download speed is 0(ZERO) KB and the modem is freezed. I have to unplug the phone from usb then restart it then have to plug it again to the usb, wait for the phone to be connected & then finally re-connect to the network again..
So you can imagine how disturbing it is.. Somebody pls help...
@ BB
Well... actually i do think that Dhaka=Bangladesh.. And a news flash, more then 70% of pc users of bd live in Dhaka. If banglalion can't attract the home users of dhaka then they are almost done.
Where they could do business like GP Or Banglalink, they will have to do business like aktel. Ha Ha Ha...
This company is going straight to hell... Ha Ha Ha Ha...
@ Silent Killer
ReplyDeleteFYI I am also facing the same problem by using pc suite and gp postpaid connection. But I have observed some interesting point; when I am downloading torrent file and if it is more than 3 files together, the disconnection is frequent but if I am only browsing, disconnection seldom happaned. I think when I am downloading multiple items, then the disconnection becomes frequent. With PC suite I am using blue tooth, when I am disonnected I just turn off and the blue tooth option of my mobile and turn it on again. Then with the pc suite software it is easy to reconnect. But sometimes I had to restart my phone and pc together.
@ arman1982
You are thinking that with WiMAX they will be able to give us equel speed all over the country. I don't think it is feasible. One think you will have to remember that they will get a limited bandwidth from the submerine cable (as other ISPs and operators will also share the line) and that bandwith (i am not sure about the size of it)will be distributing between the customers like us. And mind it that there will be big organizations like BEXIMCO and others will also buy their service, so it will be definitly distributed among all. I think all depends on the bandwidth they are going to get and number of customers. Thanks.
@ Reza
ReplyDeleteSame Here.. :(
I understand that when there r too many downloads going on then the disconnection occurs. But @ night i just give a torrent (single file: like a axxo movie) then when i wake up i see that my modem is disconnected & something liked 200 MB have been downloaded... Since GP's download speed in shared it sometime goes down as little as 1-0 KB. So @ that time the modem doesn't transfer any data, so it disconnects..
Now what i want is a 'auto redial system' like broadband connections so that everytime there is a disconnection the modem automatically redial itself and re-connects to the network without restarting (Just Like Broadbands)... If anybody
know, then pls tell of how..
@ Devil_st0ne
Everyone would be super happy if we get 100 KB @ 690 Taka.. But BanglaLion will give us 15 KB @ 690 Taka. And that is download speed (probably browsing speed too).
So i'll just say to everyone to forget about this bangla-cat shit.. And just move on with your local broadband or gp net. We expected much more from them @ but they are worse than local isp's.
@ Silent Killer
ReplyDeleteFrom reading your comments I am sure that you are digusted by the offer of BanglaLion but the funny thing is BanglaLion is your only solution. From their offer it is too obvious that you will get all support from BanglaLion as per your demand. They are offering a connection without software, so you need not to be afraid of disconnection during your torrent download, at the same time if they keep their word and provide at least 16 KB/s download speed (average download speed should be higher) you will be able to download the files faster than GP. I am also considering to subscribe BanglaLion only for this reason.
@ Reza
ReplyDeleteIf banglalion offer higher speed than 15 KB, like more than 30 KB @ cheap price (below 1000 taka) only then i will switch to them.
I guess time will say everything.................................
If banglalion offer higher speed than 15 KB, like more than 30 KB @ cheap price (below 1000 taka) only then i will switch to them.
ReplyDeleteI guess time will say everything.................................
If Bangla lion provide only 128 kbps (kilo bit per second) then it is not necessary to use wimax because grameen and citycell both are providing 128 kilo bit or 16 kbps.I think another group of fraud people came to plunder our money in the name of wimex.It is totally cheating if you use the term "High speed".I think we all Internet user should inform inocent people of our country , who are really going to be the victim of these cheater.
ReplyDeletehow these companies will facititate us in the job field? we are CCNA, CWNA but no suitabe job for us!!!!
ReplyDelete@ Reza
ReplyDeleteI'm not telling about the whole country. At first banglalion most probably will launch in Dhaka. So I'm talking about dhaka. Like GSM network wireless is another kind of network.under a network coverage area like mohammadpur or uttara grameenphone can give speed as high as 16kBps for several users though they have a limited bandwidth from BTRC. 16 kBps means 128 kbps. So let us think some 1000 users are using in whole dhaka city the line at the same time. So the bandwidth should be according to Tanvir's calculation 128*1000=128000 kbps i.e. 125 Mbps. So is it possible? No because not even BTRC have that bandwidth I think. And obviously more than 1000 users are using the gpinternet at the same time with a download speed of 16 kBps isn't it?
My point is in case of gpinternet not the bandwidth is responsible for that download speed but the thing that is responsible, is the network that your device is getting. If the users in a network coverage area exceeds its maximum limit then only then you face a problem isn't it?
wimax can provide the network coverage within 31miles with a maximum of 70Mbps.
unlike wifi wimax is a licensed radio network. So within this radius it has a stronger frquency than the wifi. So it is likely to have a better performance from wimax than from conventional broadband when you are in the network coverage area of a tower. Unlike the tower that grameenphone is using, the tower that will be used by banglalion should be a better one and should handle more users at the same time with greater performance. So let us wait and see what they can provide us.
We bangladeshi are not appreciating anything new at all (including me in some cases). We alwasy first see the negetive sides but we have to see the positive side also.
what are you guys think?
@ arman1982
ReplyDeleteThere are nothing good to appreciate what bangla-cat is offering...
We needed atleast 1mb in wimax.
But they r only thinking about getting the from our pocket & making us fool.
Good things should be appreciated, not this crap.. :*
@silent killer
ReplyDeleteAt first we didn't have any submarine cable which we should have at almost free of cost. But at that time the government lost the opportunity and then after a few years back they bought it for a huge amount of money. Now did you ever think how much it took for banglalion to get a limited amount of bandwidth from BTRC? They paid 215 crore tk. They can give us (the end users)what they get but not more than that. Please go through the btrc website and you will find how much it cost to take a higher bandwidth. It is ridiculously high. If BTRC isn't giving them the bandwidth then how can they give it to us? For that should we blame the company or BTRC? Wait for Augere. I think they will face the same problem. But they may sustain bcz they have backup to get a huge bandwidth. But Banglalion is not a multinational company as far as I know. To get 215 crore tk back they have to work hard.
Let them start.
What do you think? when citycell first launched what was the price of a new connection with set? It was over 1 lakh taka. When even grameenphone start a 0171 series number with a set cost a huge amount of money. But now you can get a connection with a set with as low as 3000 tk. Just nine years back only the sim card cost 9000 tk.
At start they may be unstable. Even it may be possible you will not even get 128 kbps for first few months for the infrastructure development and some unexpected circumstances. You can't imagine how a project can give you obstacle unless you start it.
y are u guys not calling or contacting banglalion to get the informations u need ?
ReplyDeletei called them couple of minutes ago to know about the speed, here it is-
1.at first they'll be only providing 128 kilo bits per second DEDICATED line from 1st june in dhaka for 690 taka
2. after couple of months they'll provide faster speeds with additional services.
3. they'll give 256 kilo bits per second dedicated line for 1150 taka and 512 dedicated line for 2070 taka.
4. price will go down cause government will take out the 15% vat that we have to pay now.
5.Wimax modem will cost 3000-3500 taka and can be bought at IDB building.
6. this is for home users only
so we see that they'll provide the same speed as many big ISP's are providing with little less cost
@ arman1982
ReplyDeleteyap, i agree. let's just wait & hope 4 the best. though they shouldn't have said that people can get super high-speed (downloading a 5 MB song in 10 seconds) in cheap price. that raised a huge expectation among the people and made us ambitious. let's just hope that gov will keep their word and improve the net for their so called digital bangladesh.
Who are the stakeholders of Banglalion and Augere ???????????? They have any experience in Data & Voice industry??
ReplyDelete@silent killer
ReplyDeleteIf it is a dedicated line like upol says then a 5 MB song will be downloaded within a minute or less. Because there will be no flactuation.
@upol
15% vat cut will not help much. BTRC have to reduce the bandwidth tariff. other wise a little amount money would be saved.
@ Upol
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info.
@Arman1982 said,"If it is a dedicated line like upol says then a 5 MB song will be downloaded within a minute or less"
ReplyDeletebut the speed is only 16 kilo bytes per second, in this speed it will take over 5 minutes to download a file even if its dedicated.
how will u get as u said at least 80 kilo bytes per second speed in a 16 kilo bytes per second line even if its dedicated ?
How will we watch internet videos smoothly with only 128kbps speed??
ReplyDelete@ arman1982
ReplyDeleteWhen i get constant 25-30 KB in gp, it takes me about 5 to 7 minutes to download a 5 MB song/file.
So how it is possible to download a 5 MB song/file in less 1 minutes @ 16 KB ???
have you ever continuously looked at the download speed? There you'll see even at gpinternet always you'll not get 16 kbps. Sometimes it become as low as 10 or 9 kBps. Dedicated means it will always remain same. Shared bandwidth could never give you 16 kBps all the time. The estimated time for a download is average of all speed. In my office I've downloaded 59.6 MB of a file with average 28 KB/s in 30 minute. According to your calculation it should take atleast 36 minutes or more. My friend with his 512 kbps line downloaded a movie of 600+ MB within one hour. He should download 64*60/1024*60=225 MB. so how is it possible i don't know. There must be something I don't know.
ReplyDeletegain we can't say anything for sure unless it officially starts, so lets wait and see if its that good or just fraud
ReplyDeleteNews paper and TV channel both are good media to Inform people about Wimax cheating ( Old wine in new bottle) same old fashion bits & bytes tangle . I think top Laval of government who are involved in this sector should be informed about it. Because they tried to introduce new technology for country's development but plunderer of this country take advantages of their ignorance . bracNet already started distributing Wimax secretly 1Mbps monthly cost about 30,000 tk. This rate and service is only for broad band service providers .And When a service provider will get it ,soon they will divide it in to several parts when a client will get 16 to 20 kilo bytes per second and cost around 300 to 400 providers will take 600 to 1000 from you include other costs,same as a normal broad band service provider always use to do.Now question is If everything remains same as previous days than Why government introduce Wimex ?Is it for providing high speed interne to develop IT sector or make people fool? The process of distributing wimax by 3 licensed company is clearly indicating that in next 10 years Internet user of this country will not get so call "high speed " connection.Because this syndicate is preparing to make quick money targeting ignorant students,illiterate computer users.So be careful and inform your friends and relatives about wimax cheating. Remember if people of this country become conscious only then we can build digital Bangladesh.
ReplyDeleteyes upol. That will be the right thing for us. Wait and see. But hope for the best.
ReplyDeleteHi Every-1,this forum is really good i read all comment since march7.anway i thought Banglalion will be very professional isp.but they prove me wrong.I send them a mail with some question 1 week ago.but find no reply from them.what a professional company will do lick aktel or Gp??...they always answer the customers.i personaly think my question r very I.M. and every body in this forum want those answer...what u all think???leave me a comment....

ReplyDeleteThey recently changed their website.
Just called BanglaLion, they will offer IPTV later this year.
ReplyDeleteWimax in Pakistan 1MBPS just in 15 dollar monthly
ReplyDeleteI think Bangla Lion and other wimax provider of this country can not be the example . In Pakistan wimax providers taken too much risk and initially, their fund was only 1.44 million .
But they tried to bring the change.They offer 1MBPS just in 15 dollar monthly. Think, how much risk involved.In this poor country so call investors talk too much about their investment. As the money comes from their own pocket. Poor country!!!!!!!The support and initial fund is enough but who will talk about our nature?In stade of terrible political condition,less Internet users, lack of fund,less support from local bank,totally unknow technology(year 2004)the courage and patriotism shown by the provider of pakistan is great.See the trouth >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
http://www.wimaxcom.net/2009/04/wimax-price-in-pakistan.html
IPTV in 128 kilo bits per second speed?? its just a dream
ReplyDeletealso do u know when they'll start cable tv, i'm missing VH1
I don't understand how will they offer IPTV,Cable Tv in such a tiny speed. Pls correct me if i'm wrong but we won't be able to enjoy youtube,vdo chat properly...
ReplyDeleteIn our country Internet services and its speed is very poor and slow than our neighbour country India. In India AirTel is now giving 16Mbps speed by broadband. There are many providers in our country who give Internet services such as: Mobile operators, PSTN operators, BTCL and at last joined BanglaLion by WiMAX. We are getting more two WiMAX providers in future. But this more than one dozen providors can not giving us Hi speed Internet. Their speed limit is only 10-15kBps. Just think twice…where is AirTel’s 16Mbps and where is our 10-15kBps. Alas! Is this our digital Bangladesh? If we compare with just only India, we are really live in analog. Today I want to say to BanglaLion and coming up next 2 WiMAX providers: “Please take a future step and throw your Internet speed on Mbps not in 128kbps. Otherwise WiMAX will not rise in the Internet market. And Digital Bangladesh will be fairy tell.
ReplyDeleteI SAID LATER THIS YEAR, i also NEVER said they will provide it using 128kb. Don't make foolish assumptions.
ReplyDeleteI SAID LATER THIS YEAR, i also NEVER said they will provide it using 128kb. Obviously they will need to be provide higher speed which they will start LATER this year.
ReplyDeleteBanglalion provides UNLIMITED usage. Even though airtel give 16mbps their usage limit of at MEASLY 20 Gb. no point of having that type of spped at that low usage limit.
ReplyDeleteagain y r u sticking up for banglalion ?? the highest speed they'll provide is 512 kilo bites per second which will start early next year , just call them and check out
ReplyDeleteu r saying that airtel measly gives limit of 20 gb, well atleast the provide 16 mega bits speed for 4500 taka which of ours company gives that speed even with 45000 taka ???
@upol
ReplyDeleteIf you think I'm sticking with banglalion then "YES I'M"
With a 16 Mbps line only 20 gb? 16 Mbps means 2MB/s. So to use your limit you can get only 20*1024/2= 10240s=170.67min=2.84 hours download time isn't it?
what a fun actually!! If I'm wrong calculating this thing plz correct me...
Now here is a tiny calculation comparing to your AIRTEL
With 16KB/s you can download per day = 16*60*60*24=1382400KB= 1350MB=1.32GB
and 1.32*30= 39.55GB almost equal to 40GB
If in a country like Bangladesh we can dream for launching a sattellite, where we have many other important things to care about, it is possible that everyone can play with the mass people. Let Banglalion prove we are wrong. You're telling thing about pakistan and india. But have you ever think about how the government is backing up them? They will get help from government. But what is our government doing? Can you tell me any government helped our nation to get a better internet? What we should get almost for free we have to take it for a huge amount of money (submarine cable). Thanks to that government who have postponded that free offer. Now this government what are they doing? They are telling us they'll work for digital bangladesh. But for making a digital bangladesh you have to pay attention first in internet. If the government can give the bandwidth more cheaply then we can get it more cheaply. The government should also force the ISP to give dedicated line but not shared line. And they should also some sort of law that will state that a bandwidth like 1 Mbps can only be given to a limited number of users.In america they are getting 10Gbps line but we can't get even Mbps line why?
Once upon a time people said that india's mobile call rate was lower than our country (prepaid). only 99 paisa (during that time our lowest call rate was 1.5 tk). But do you know with a 300 tk prepaid card you can only use 173 tk or something like that to call for 99 paisa? With almost double rate we can have the same talk time at that time. So think if the call rate was equal to them then we can have a 90 minutes more talk time. So tell me which was cheap?
Good News! Good News! Good News!
ReplyDeleteAgni telicom decided to introduce countries cheapest wireless internet connection ever.They are decide to bring different packeges in cheap rate.Their 512/512 kbps connection rate will be under 1000 tk and their modem will be Motorola not more than 3000 tk.And also you will get so many free stuff.For more information visit here:
http://www.agni.com/products/wireless.php
@ BB
ReplyDeleteWhat is new in their site...
It's same as before..........
@ Exposer
ReplyDeleteWhere the price is metioned in the site....???
so whats ur basically saying that people here in bangladesh who get 25 kilo bytes per second speed and people in india who are getting 2 mega bytes per second speed are getting the same service and enjoying internet the same was then this argument is worthless.
ReplyDeletewhat i am saying that , yes its governments fault that the price in bandwidth is soooo high but also why did Banglalion said that we'll get the ultimate experience using their service? cause they are also money sucking business company who but a license for a really huge amount and then take that money from us normal people even though we had nothing to do with the bidding.
so answer me please, y did they say its HIGH SPEED INTERNET when the speed is normal
they should say cheap internet cause their speeds will be the same or little faster but cost will be less
I could sticking up for anyone I want. I don't need anyones permission. Just because they said 512 kilo bites per second will start early next year doesnt mean they will not provide higher speed in the future.
ReplyDeleteaccording to ITU (international TElecom Union) a 128kb connection IS BROADBAND. Thats the definition of broadband. Banglalion didnt lie.
ReplyDeleteAre u a COMMUNIST Upol? No one is FORCING YOU to use banglaion. If you dont like than dont use it.
ReplyDelete@ exposer
ReplyDeleteI dont see the price. Also how much does the
# 1/1 Mbps
# 1/4 Mbps
package cost?
sir,
ReplyDeleter u a banglalion official.if U aren't then why r u supporting
such a initiative which will make us poorer.
I Think they only appear to us for BUSINESS
JOINTLY LOUGHING WITH U
ReplyDelete@upol
ReplyDeleteNo I'm not telling that they are the same. But for there so much highspeed you can end it within a day. So for the rest of the month what will you do? You may agree with my opinion that- if we get a faster connection what will we do at that time? we'll start downloading everything that we can. result? the download limit can be ended within a moment. I don't even think to compare 16KB with 2MB, atleast I'm not that dumb. I just wanna tell that everything that has a limit can't be a good choice to choose. A broadband should be unlimited.
You are telling that banglalion is taking our money to compensate their huge license fee. So what is the fault with that? At least they keep the money within our country. Where were you people when grameenphone started their business? At that time a 0171 series number almost cost 50000 tk? At first grameenphone was giving sim with set. Where were you when they took away our money? Where were you when they charged us 6.9tk per minute only for voice calling?
An edge modem with a datasim cost you 4900tk. Why are you buying those modem? Because you get mobility. You can use them anywhere anytime but with a limited speed. If banglalion is charging you the same service with a price 4715tk price what would be the problem? Don't tell me that grameenphone is providing the better speed. Because NO they are not providing the same speed everywhere in dhaka. There are some places in dhaka where you'll get as low as 4-6 KB/s. And outside dhaka this scenario may be worse.
An ISP can't give you a connection less than the BTRC unless they have a VOIP business which is illegal
Please go through this pdf
http://www.btrc.gov.bd/tariffs/approved_tariff_for_submarine_cable_related_services.pdf
you'll find what is the present condition of Broadband price in bangladesh. Please go through the article 4. You'll find out.
so Arman and BB have joined forces here i see.
ReplyDeletejust joking
ok i know that its mobile and nobody is forcing me in using WiMax, even though i'll use it when they start the 512 kilo bits per second speed net
so firstly its not our fault that BTRC charged to much for the license fee, i mean 22 million taka for a license ?!?!?!
now banglalion and grameenphone charge so much cause it costs so much right ? then why dont they presure the BTRC to lower the price ? y do they suck money from us and point the finger, cowardly, at BTRC, they can say that if BTRC doesn't lower the bandwidth theey would stop providing net, bandwidth must be cut to atleas 1/5 of its current price
i know this sounds stupid but at least they can try this, all they do is take money form us and point their finger at BTRC, its just not fair
y dont u just call and ask them instead if asking here
ReplyDeleteso sir what do you think? what will BTRC do? If they do so then if BTRC tell them ok no problem stop giving net. Then what will happen to us?
ReplyDeleteBTRC have no problem finding other options. But the service providers like grameenphone or other ISPs don't have any option other than BTRC. You know if a business is like a monopoly then you can't force that business to do anything. Think, when do grameenphone cut their call rate to 3.5tk per minute from 6tk? Only after banglalink came to business. They would never reduce call rate if banglalink was not here. They monopolized the mobile sector at that time. Though citycell was there. But still now citycell is nothing compared to other mobile operators. Do you know why f&f rate was increased by grameenphone and other operators? I think it's because of the welfare of teletalk.
As a state owned company (though now limited company) what the BTRC says is the law. Because there is no option.
It is true that Agni decided to reduce their package rate and also they are going to introduce Wimax tech internally.They are one of the oldest ISP in Bangladesh So it is only possible for them to give the cheapest rate.When I read the comment of exposer then i ring my cousin who is working there.He said soon you will get the astonishing rate with lots of free offer.
ReplyDelete@ Arman1982, then what should they do ? what should we do ??
ReplyDeletewe have such a bad luck that even though this country is ours still nobody listens to our problem !
then what i said first is the best solution, make this come into media, write on papers and give seminars, but unfortunately nobody is doing that
i sent an article on Prothom Alo about a week ago about the high cost of bandwidth and they haven't published it yet, so it looks like the normal people are ones who will suffer most cause corporate people dont suffer at all
This is a broadband site after all right?
ReplyDeleteXpress Broadband is offering:
ReplyDelete288 Kbps for Tk 1,650
Banglalion now has to lower the prices, gotta love competition.
ReplyDelete@upol
ReplyDeleteit is being written in the newspapers for years by individuals but there is no editorial or no report on this sector. In discussion section of newspaper I saw several times about this topic. You sent an article to prothomalo. Are you reporter? Even if they publish your article it will not be taken as a report or editorial. Without a report or editorial no one will give any attention to any of our report.
@BB
If your information is true then look at that!!! When banglalion is about to launch then every isp is giving higher speed at a lower price to survive in this business. This is the thing. When anyone with a somewhat good quality is about to launch then others are looking for even better quality. That's what we want.
When there are multiple competitors then we are going to get the benefit.
Definetely banglalion should either lower their price or give better speed. what do you say people? if that happens then we'll be benefited.
What do you say BB?
@ arman1982
ReplyDeleteThat was the point I was trying to get across of some of these impatient and bitter people. We should be happy Banglalion is coming to the market since this will bring more competition. And If they are a bad company then let the market work; they will be out of business. At the end of the day more competition = better price (eventually,people have to be patient). At least you got my point arman1982. And when 3G comes, the ball will get rolling. Anyone remembers how long it took for mobile minute price to go down to 1 taka?
Well.. I guess BB was right. But we'll have to wait.. At least this year. I'm not getting wimax anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing, will Agni's modem work with banglalion ?? And is Xpress wireless (wimax) ??
Banglalion !!!!!!!!!!!,
ReplyDeletenow I would like to say It's a cat only.......
Bdlion, provide 1 mBps onword......
WE need more speed, some of provider alredy providing 128-512 kbps, so why Bdlion???????????????
@BB
ReplyDeleteYou are looking for 3G? In mobile I think. But do you know for 3G we need wi-fi. And wi-fi is not better than wimax. As wi-fi is unlicensed radio wave unlike wimax which is licensed, it can't give you service beyond its radius. And comparing to wimax its radius is much more less. With wi-fi you can work in a building but not in mobility like in the car unlike wimax. Its network will not be eventually good compared to wimax. Please go through this article.
http://www.circleid.com/posts/92208_wimax_vs_wifi/
@silent killer
I think I can give you the answer by one question. Can you use gpinternet in aktel sim?
also the person who said agni will provide wireless net connections is such a big lier, my god
ReplyDeleteagni's wireless connections will be only for corporate users cause the radio base which must be bought will cost all most 150,000 taka and when they'll start the service whole country it will be much costlier than wimax
Bangla Lion sucks. GP is delivering 20-25 KBPS for 850 Tk.(Network Coverage is extremely good). Bangla Lion should deliver 64 KBPS(512 kbps) for 700-1000 Tk.
ReplyDeletearman,
ReplyDeletewi-fi and 3g is different technology.
wi-fi is used to make wireless lan between devices within limited range.
3g (HSDPA/UMTS/CDMA2000/EVDO) is used by mobile service providers to provide data/voice service. it should have minimum 384 Kbps speed during mobility and 2 Mbps while fixed.
in my other post, I'm trying to describe 3g in Bangladesh.
http://broadbandinbangladesh.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/3g-in-bangladesh/
Thanks for correcting me and giving me the information.
ReplyDeletei m atleast disappointed with the news from banglalion. i am expecting to get 1mbps connection costing under 1000tk per month.. wimax is supposed to provide high speed internet. so if we are getting a speed of 128kbps(16kBps) which is lower than my gp internet (20 to 25kBps) speed , it must be shocking.. with a 4g technology they must provide us atleast 3g speed.... otherwise it is just a waste of technology and installment.. now from my personal point of , if banglalion will provide me a speed of 248 kbps at 800/month or so, i wont go for that. i will be with my gpinternet. cos i dont need any modem to use with my pc. i got a handset with better modem. so if i want to shift to banglalion wimax i would have to make an expanditurre of 3000tk which wont give me a better result in any sense....on the other hand i can use my net from my mobile also, where as we dont have any mobile (except one from HTC) with wimax modem.... thanks
ReplyDeleteAgni and Wimax
ReplyDeleteAgni's Wimax service will be dedicated and available for both individual and corporate level. They will also provide prepaid card so that anyone can get it early.
Its a great pleasure for us to find Wimax.I wish its success in every aspect.I think the speed is not enough at all
ReplyDelete.

ReplyDeleteThen its most likely for corporate dedicated access.
ReplyDelete@rony
ReplyDeleteHave fun with GP then, cause GP edge is physically limited to 700 kbs whereas IN THE FUTURE wimax can go up to 70mbs
@ BB
ReplyDeleteWho gives a $#!T about the future. That is still a LONG way from here. Starting with this speed bl can only get a handful of customers. Most of the people will have it when they get atleast 64 KB. So the sooner they do that the better.
And Xpress will offer UPTO 288 kbps, NOT minimum (they didn't say what in their minimum offer, who knows what that is). which gp offers, if you use gp then you'll see that most of the time it gives 11-16 KB and often it goes to 30-32 KB and beyond.
Where in the other side of the world people are getting upto 10 gbps we can't even get out of the kbps circle.
topu,
ReplyDeletethis is kb (kilo-bit), not KB (kilo-byte). if u turn it into KB, it will be 16.
so far most of our mobile operators are providing that or more than that. now you start to think.

ReplyDelete?????
Dude do you know what 128 Kbps is ...??? it's 15.8 KB...
Grameen is giving more than that.. and they r not taking 13000 tk.. they are taking 978 taka.. (no hidden cost like your bangla-cat offer)
Now if you knew that already, than u r more & bigger cheater than bangla-cat.. and if you didn't knew that than you are the biggest foolish in this post.....
amar kotha holo, BTCL jodi bandwidth rate na komay tahole ISP gula ki kore customer der 1000 takay 512kbps or plus dibe? !!! Please guys chk this link and find the BTCL and/or BSCCL rate
ReplyDeletehttp://www.scribd.com/doc/8530967/Approved-Tariff-for-ADSL-Broadband-Internet-by-BTCL-Bangladesh
now jodi 1 Mbps (mega bit) er price 22 thousand taka hoy monthly .. then how come people here asking banglalion or any other isp for that matter to give us 1 mbps speed for 1000 taka? !!!!
Now, some of ur point will be why ISP dont force Govt to slash the rate .. Here the truth is, ISP can't force, the rules BTRC set, is ISP has to follow all the rules and buy bandwidth that set by Govt. So, i donno how we blame ISPs for the rate.
I think, its not ISP whom we should blame its Govt who is doing this to us.
By the way, you gonna say, maybe ISP can strike and stop providing net till govt slah the rate? As i said above, they cant do this .. coz it will void the TOS with BTRC. and their licence can be cancelled.. now, If some ISP get suspended.. there will be more isp to follow BTRC rules and provide high price internet .. here the thing is, 75% custome rof major ISPs are corportae clients, who is maybe not happy but not unhappy to pay like 25 thousand taka for 1 Mbps connection for their office works .. So, lets not yell and shout at ISP like banglalion mango or augure for that matter.. if u really need to shout .. raise ur voice against Govt.
well we may see light at the end of the tunnel cause government may set highest price for internet at 300 taka then we may get real HIGH SPEED internet
