zip is online
license was never cancelled. they are back.
you must’ve had bad experience with them. i use them at home on the wireless connection. i’d say they are still good. browsing is great but i do have problems with some pages at times; nothing a phone call doesn’t fix.

mr zip hater, tell us about your experience with zip and other isp’s in dhaka city

zip and sirius are one and the same. they are still down.
they have 512k shared at 1500 a month and 1mbps at 3000 a month and its on FON only.
you can either upload at full speed or download at full speed but not expect both at the same time. a dedicated 512k connection costs about 12k which is pretty steep if you ask me.

btcl pays 1800 a month for 1mbit. the isp’s pay btcl for that same 1mbit at 20,000k a month. so how are the isp’s expected to give at a cheaper rate?

btcl is giving adsl 1mbps at about 2500 a month afaik. you guys should check it out

Well, the internet scenario is finally looking up in Dhaka(donno abt anywhere else). There a whole number ISPs now providing cable broadband connection and offers speeds around 30KB/s for 1000/- and upto 50or60KB/s for 1500/-. And thanks to the Wimax introduction(who claim to offer dedicated bandwidth). You should all check out the Banglalion and Qubee sites, they give very good rates. My ISP is currently providing very good service, their name is Worldnet. My speed of 50KB/s is always guaranteed, and since I do not download during office hours, they keep my bandwidth well above the promised level.

In Mohammadpur GP sucks a lot. For past 3 months it started to behave like pathetic local ISPs like disconnection, speed irregularity etc. I used GP Unlimited tho’.

That sed, GP speed vastly differs from area to area.

This is really weird. Grameen Phone unlimited plan gets me 45 KB/s at Ibrahimpur, and anywhere between 3 to 16 KB/s everywhere else. Gulshan is OK at ~ 32 KB/s.

It’s have been assuming that radio link connection provides faster download. For the time being it was true. But the radio link ISP like zip has been lying on the state that, their connection is consistent and having no fluctuation on browsing. They are a big liar. And their has been a mistake in understanding that Smile is shut off and they are now BDCom. Actually BDCom margered Smile and bought them. Smile runs their action individually

Hi people

I will be in BD for a prolonged period so am looking for a temporary way to connect to the internet. Speed (especially upload) is crucial for me as I connect to a number of remote machines for SSH and FTP (transfer of raw audio and video files; they can be huge!).

I’m now torn between this ZipBD/Sirius Broadband (ok I’m not getting which is the provider – ZipBD or Sirius?) and IS Pros (did I get that right?).

ZipBD: I’m not able to find any info about the down and up bandwidth rates of their packages. What kind of speed is provided with the 1.5K package?

IS Pros: I’m not able to find any price plans, their site looks new and broken. I could modify and navigate but there is absolutely no info on speeds or pricing.

Dedicated 512 down and 256 up would be ideal.

For 1000 taka monthly .. I get 30 kBps almost constantly from ZIP … I would recommend their Fiber Express package to anyone … U wont be disappointed !!

Oh btw, I’m also using BTCL ADSL for last 4 months .. and their service is best in Dhaka city as of now .. in 4 months the connection was down only once and thats for only few hours … chk out their web @ http://www.bcube.net.bd

@RSI888

As far as I remember, Smile has been bought by BDCom. Their site is http://www.bdcom.com/

Also heard BTRC shut off Smile back in Jan 2009, http://hasibul.info/blog/?p=127

for everyone –
i am using zip’s fiber optic X press package for last 2 yrs. at first it was 20KBps and cost was 1500tk and now it is 30KBps and 1000TK. Installation cost varies in different areas, coz the distributors of zip’s connection can connect you quickly with least amount of effort if there are hubs and stuffs around ur home. the amount can be dropped to tk 1000 too when they need to set some wiring to connect you. so far my speed only fell when fiber optic backbone get cut or some kind of server issues.

bottom line, make sure u get the service from the dealer rather than they give u the service. they are most of the time slackers.

by the way, i am a heavy user and downloader too. i use torrents and regular download managers all the time. i live in Rampura, Banasree.
thats all.

happy surfing. cheers.
