Sri Lanka telecom conferms to fix the problem soon

The reason for the dropping of the speed was the earthquake nearby Indonesian sea area.That costs by damaging the cables laid beneath the ocean.Because of this disastrous situation many internet providers have lost their speed and even some countries have lost their internet service completely.

However slt was not such affected because they have several backbones. And also they have satellite connection to provide internet services to Sri Lanka. But some ISPs in Sri Lanka was completely down. This slowing problem is only for ADSL connections and other broadband services , not for dial up connections. And the problem is occurred only for some parts of the country. For example southern province is not affected by the problem.

What ever it is slt confirms they are going to rearrange their network connections before Jan 15th 2007.
