Thanks for the insightful comment.

i agree with you. the last couple of months the service has been terrible. clients were offline for hours at a time but never more than 2 hours to my knowledge.

browsing had big problems. we were getting tcp errors on almost every page that we wanted to go. it took zip a white to fix that problem. now we hardly get the tcp error. browsing is pretty fast if you ask me. most of the pages that get updated regularly may appear slower but you don’t get old info like before.

as for the VAS that you’re talking about, zip made some big changes. the network is now much more stable. unless the fiber is cut, the connection never goes down unless your distro turns out to be a jerk and sells your mac to another client for extra profit (to use when you’re not home). as far as i’ve found out, the value-added-free-services will be back. the game servers will be online with new games also along with the old ones. vod is coming back but unfortunately not with updates. to fix that problem, zip has setup a ftp server which is accessable by all zip customers; whether you’re on fon or los. give customer support a call to find out how you can acess the ftp server. it apparently hosts 1tb of content, starting from movies, music, dvd9′s and software. even though the speeds of the ftp is capped, it provides you with offline content while your internet is downloading online content.

i’ve been using zip since 2003. i’m not much of a downloader but i do sometimes download movies and tv serials. earlier they would take a long time since p2p was capped. now i get almost full speed on p2p if i’m lucky otherwise its half my internet speed and thats not too bad. browsing is more improved. with the stint of bad service, zip has earned a bad name out there. but when the service is good, nobody can or will complain.

anyway, thanks

Currently using the Qubee 1 Mbps Wimax and it’s really good. Still on the demo, so review will take some time.

I pay 1800Tk monthly for 512k (day) / 256k (night) package.

Don’t get Zip bro! I would whole heartedly recommend it about a year ago. But not anymore. I can’t even access many sites still, chief of which is Digg. Plus, connection is not available all the time.

I’m planning to switch Qubee Wimax next month. Stay tuned for review.

I am running out of any broadband connection for almost a year. My previous was Grameen Citech- only good thing wes it wes dedicated- gotten constant speed- but why the connection wes lost- that’s a complete different story…

So, ya wouldnt recommend Zip at all? I want to know if they’re available in Mohammadpur or not…

Dedicated…so yummy…

No problem bro. That’s what Gamersworldbd is all about.

ok,i will tell them to open port 3074.

That is a common problem. Xbox Live uses port 3074 to send and receive data over the internet. Your ISP may be blocking this port for fear of virus attacks (another culprit is Zipbd).

Call your ISP and tell them to open port 3074. That should fix the problem.
