TRCSL develops new standards

The Telecommunication Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL) has begun work on developing new standards for volume based and unlimited broadband services, said a press release issued by it Friday evening.

The TRCSL expects to lower access charges in high speed services above 1 mbps, it said.

The TRCSL has also published broadband download speed test results conducted on fixed broadband services. The tests have shown that download speeds slow down heavily causing problems to the Internet users during peak time.

Though the TRCSL has subsequently taken corrective measures ensuring a faster services, it requests subscribers to complain to it in case they do not receive a proper broadband service.

The TRCSL also intends to introduce a testing facility to enable users to test their broadband download speed accurately by running a service which will be available at the respective operators’ website, the press release said.
