BanglaLion WiMAX Internet in Bangladesh (Is Double Speed Now?)

How is the BanglaLion WiMAX Internet performance that your are experiencing?

Share your opinion so others can judge.

3 May 2011:

Has BanglaLion started to double their speed for the bandwidth packages they offered? I am not sure, but I start to notice that download is happening with almost double of the speed that I am entitled for. 100+ KBps during download while I was getting around 50+ earlier with my 512kbps connection. That's just amazing.

However I can see the streaming response is like previous, there is no change, still keep buffering. I guess they have kept it limited.

Discussion about WiMax in Bangladesh: BanglaLion to start WiMax services soon

BanglaLion is starting WiMax services in Bangladesh from 1st of June, 2009. Now the tension grows,

How will be the service?
What will be the speed? Will it be dedicated?
How much affordable it would be?
Whether it will be available in our area?
What value add it will do in terms of speed, affordability & availability when comparing to existing services (GP/Citycell internet and other Internet services)?

Although the packages have been published, the speed and necessary cost failed to satisfy many of us who were eagerly waiting for its successful operations in the country. Just to reiterate below is the packages,

BanglaLion WiMax Service Package:
1. Home User/Individual for Tk 600/Month
2. Corporate (5-10 users) for Tk 550/Month
3. Corporate (10 users above) for Tk 500/Month
4. Day User (Max 3GB) for Tk 45/Day
5. Night Package (12 AM to 9 AM =9 hrs) for Tk 300/Month

BanglaLion is not going to start WiMAX from 1st June, it may take 2/3 months more to start officially, this is due to technical issues and setup. However they expect to go with test-run from 1st June.
