Lanka Bell broadband the fastest - TRCSL

Lanka Bell, brings good news to its customers in the form of a report issued by the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL) which recognises Lanka Bell as having the country's

fastest fixed broadband download speeds.

TRCSL's broadband speed test results for December showed that users of both Lanka Bell's 512 Kbps and 2 Mbps WiMAX broadband packages enjoyed the fastest available download speeds of all fixed broadband users in the local market.

TRCSL findings further indicated that Lanka Bell speeds were also proven to be the closest to download speeds advertised.

This superior performance is a result of Lanka Bell's partnership with the FLAG fibre optic submarine cable network, an infrastructure investment made by Lanka Bell to the tune of US$ 27 million.

Lanka Bell Managing Director Prasad Samarasinghe said, "Our customers are benefiting in a very real way from a decision we made in 2006 to invest in the then groundbreaking terabit-capacity FLAG undersea cable.

This farsighted investment allowed us to continue offering high speed data and internet access, and even superior IDD facilities, to several thousand Lanka Bell customers all over the island, even when others are unable to provide the speeds they promised."

" Lanka Bell is in the midst of an aggressive expansion program entailing both the size and scope of our top-of-the-line WiMAX broadband services so that every single Sri Lankan can benefit from the most affordable means of internet access available."
