Qubee Introduces Campus Packagae, Wimax at 850 Taka
Qubee has introduced the Qubee Campus package, starting at 850 Taka/month (excluding VAT) for a 128 kbps download speed.
Only students can sign-up for the Qubee Campus package. During sign-up students need to bring their school/college/university ID to sign up for the service.
Although the 128 kbps Campus package has unlimited downloads, Qubee’s fair usage policy still applies.
The higher-tier 256 kbps Campus package is priced at the same 850 Taka/month but with a 5 GB monthly download limit. Installation charge is the same at Tk 4,000.
What is the Qubee Fair Usage Policy?
To restrict users from using up too much bandwidth (Qubee and also Banglalion) restrict the amount users can download continuously. You can download straight for 4 days (provided you keep the PC on all the time) and on the 5th day Qubee will start tracking your usage. They may decide to cap your download speeds or charge extra for the usage. To be on the safe side, take a break after every 3 days.
The fair usage policy does not apply for packages that has download restrictions (eg. 5GB for Qubee’s 256 kbps Campus connection). If you exceed your limit, Qubee will charge you an additional 0.10 Taka for every MB you download.

Still nobody will spend 4000 taka for modem in order to use the QUBEE campus package…

^ Why not? A family whose children are all young, they are better off with that plan. Modem prices are always in that range (actually much lesser, but service + installation included).
Hmm..that “Fair Usage Policy” is really sick. It isn’t true broadband. But hey, at least they didn’t state “Unlimited”, so they’re right to impose whatever they want.
I remember their official site had “Freedom of Download” for the Campus package, but “Sky” for the rest (just a few days ago). Now the Sky has changed to “Freedom of Download” as well.

@Nasif,
thik i bolesen..Qubee campus is targetted at students mostly..and look at the monthly fee and modem price…it’s not making sense much…do not match with each other….just low the modem price down to 2500/3000 /= (or even lower)it’ll look better fit on the package.

Didn’t like the “Fair usage policy” at all !
also it doesn’t make sense….on one side it says”Freedom of Download” & on the other side,it will track ur usage if u exceed the “Fair usage Policy” !

Actually, Qubee is pretty good with words. “Freedom of Download” implies precisely that – it does not mean “download at will”. A similar analogy would be politics – a free state where anyone could do anything for however long would lead to anarchy (which is not freedom at all).

Fair Usage Policy is applied on all Wireless broadband operators in the world, even though they are unlimited! My friend in France, who’s using Orange’s Livebox received his first warning when he crossed 75GB in a week on his 2mbps wireless line!! Luckily, Qubee’s FUP isn’t much strict since they would track bandwidth usage IF AND ONLY IF one downloads continuously straight 5 days as mentioned elsewhere on gamersworldbd.

That’s pretty unlucky. In some countries, though, there is no such policy in place. At least, not that I know of (I’ve used services from all the ISPs in my region throughout my life). I know I’ve always had torrent traffic throttled, but other than that, I keep my computers on 24/7 (we have no power failures so it’s safe) and always downloading (legal) content at max speed over sectioned downloads.
If you’re mentioning France, I would guess Australia has it too, because their internet services (especially mobile broadband) aren’t really that flexible either.

Just thought I’d give everyone a heads up about Qubee’s “installation time” are killer… when they say “72 hours” they mean it!!… it’s been two days since I paid 6588Tk for 512 connection and still no sign. I called them up a couple of times and they go like “we are working on an engineer to get to your location as soon as possible”. I called up a friend of mine and he said he knows people who got their connection AFTER a week of sign-up… what the hell man? not cool QB.

Well after a 8 day wait I finally got my QB installed and it seems the store I bought the QB modem from (Uttara North Tower) did NOT inform QB of my purchase until they had a few more customers in Uttara. I mean WHAT? but anywho, its here now and its working great so I can’t complain on performance but the installation was a major pain.

I think modem should be free! Or the price should be subsidized like other telecom package!
