Will very much appreciate if you can find out which areas will be covered in its first phase. Also will we have to get an ADSL2+ router for this enhanced service?

Thanks

I just speak with one of our friends in SLT. He said we have to buy set of equipments to see this cable tv. Surly new router but he doesn't know about ADSL2+. But later SLT plans to provide vi max technology to the customers. This is 100mb wireless line. This service provide all around the country for ADSL customers.

Does they give broadband internet with their CableTV pacakage ???

I thought WiMAX is gonna launch end of this year.. (according to their stall was at INFOTEL this year.)

Wi max is testing now in colombo . They are giving cable tv package through ADSL. That means if you want to see the sri lanka telecom cable tv you must have SLT broad band internet connection. Good thing is rate will go down with the combine services.

At the recent exhibition SLT was demonstrating TV streaming using ADSL2+. So I guess they will launch ADSL2+ shortly.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I started to get real money.
It gets down to choose a proper companion who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the income with me.

You can get interested, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
