Therefore, the preliminary requirement is the satellite frequency that can broadcast some of our native programs with limited live facilities, which is directly from Sri Lanka to United States. Please send us your capability with DASL and explaining the process that you can collaborate with us for this expected project. We would rather appreciate if you can respond to this request as soon as possible.

The 'norm' is 8mbps now - it has been for quite some time although a lot of people are sticking with the cheaper 2 or 4mbps option. I really feel for you being stuck in the slow lane. Hopefully the situation will change for the better soon.

It's all cool and well to have a 4mbps or a Max 8mbps connection here, but if you are restricted to ridiculously low caps (3GB is the norm at the moment), then what the hell does that help! We seriously need a second netowrk operator here in SA... But the thing I fear the most is they probably going to try and match Telkom cent for cent / connection speed for connection speed, and then the SNO wouldn't have lived up to the hype. :-( But we will wait in anticipation, as always! :-) Thanks for the insight into Australia, David.

ADSL operates at a max 8mbps. I'm an ex-South African, so glad I'm not stuck with Telkom anymore :D But you're lucky, here in Australia, our national maximum speed is 1.5mbps (the exchanges still support 8mbps, but our Telecom is greedy), and there's no hope in site for a national increase from our main provider (which wholesales to others). Although, ISP's are starting to roll out their own networks, alot of exchanges in Metro areas have ADSL2+ (max 24mbps) installed now, not by the main provider (Telstra) but by others, also alot cheaper too, in most cases. 4mbps is actually half the speed of the maximum.
