Recently I heard BTTB reduced the price 450$ USD for 1MBPS. But we are still in the same speed related situation as we were before. What is the main plan of BTTB for us? Many individual ISP provide high speed wires such as fibre optic cable, which is capable of 1024MBPS. But they can’t even give us normal 10MBPS speed through a CAT4 or CAT5 wire. Then what is the point of using high speed wires? This applies to submarine cable also, which is capable of high speed data communication but the provider filter the bandwidth with a tiny wire such as a human hair. A real useful treatment should take by goverment to grow a thick hair to convert it to real life wire as a normal Developed country. A good connection can make a few several tiny countries into a single Urban area.

Nobody has ever offered “FREE” submarine cable to Bangladesh. The SEA-ME-WE3 invited Bangladesh to join the consortium. But the government did not response due to its utter ignorance.

Therefore, lamenting for not having a “FREE” submarine cable is meaningless.

The 18-month old SEA-ME-WE4 cable has never been snapped under the sea as yet. Rather BTTB’s domestic optical fibre transmission link from Cox’s Bazar cable landing station to Dhaka via Chittagong has been repeatedly getting cut accidentally as well as deliberately.

BTTB’s transmission network getting snapped is attributed to its obsolete design. It has deployed SDH technology in the nationwide transmission network. But it is yet to design and deploy a “ring” that immune such outage.

Therefore, it remains unclear what “We still don’t have the submarine cable for internet use” means.

“This is very sad for the people of Bangladesh who deserve better,” is also a cheap political rhetoric.

The article is dated December 5th 2005. Today it is 2nd September 2007. We still don’t have the submarine cable for internet use. This is very sad for the people of Bangladesh who deserve better.

Bangladesh was offered free connection to a submarine cable about 10 years before. The total moron who was communications minister at the time decided not to go for free connection ‘because information would leak out of Bangladesh.’ He cost the country a lot of money and opportunity. Hopefully he is now spending his time in prison as someone’s boyfriend.

The first priority of the internet cable should be to establish IT businesses such as call centers. Not for home users. Successful IT business will pay for increased bandwith.

i don;t really c any hope abt this matter. isps r only happy to serve corporate clients. they don;t pay any heed to the home users. and i think this situatoin will not change. one strong hand in the authority can change all the things in a week. but unfortunately they r eating up every benefit of this cable without giving any benefit to the real ppl the public. u c bttb paid for the cable and the public in bd paid bttb. so its the 1st priority should be the home users of dhaka.

HI,
Its seems that, ips of local dhaka and chittagong are not interested to serve the client who pays only 1000 per monthes for home use, the faster facilities of submarine cable.

we are now in a big trouble and we cannot feel any change with our broadband and isp (not bttb) are really cheating with enduser but they are (ips) useing the service for un lawful voip..with connection of some lower class govt. employee ips are doing that kind of un wanted works…no body here with us and no one are writhing about tihs matters..

thanks
