Banglalink Internet :: Banglalink pre paid 'desh' internet packages

Banglalink is the second largest mobile company in Bangladesh following Grameenphone. Though grameenphone is the pioneer mobile company for Mobile internet in Bangladesh, now a days Banglalink is giving importance in its internet service.


But, where Grameen phone and robi (aktel) have different packages for mobile internet , there Banglalink has only 2 packages and those are call package specific!


# Packages of Banglalink pre paid internet :

P1 : on the go package
It costs 0.02tk per kb and it doesn't require and monthly bundle money.
You can use it in any packages of Banglalink prepaid - Desh, ek desh, ek desh ek rate, rongdhonu, desh rang!
How to activate : write P1 & send to 3343

P2 : unlimited internet for 15 days!
Charge - 350tk/15 days
How to activate : write P2 & send to 3343
But the most irritating matter is, you can't use it in any prepaid call package, only desh users can use this!
How funny! For me 'ek desh ek rate' package suites me, but if I want to use unlimited net, then I have to convert to the tradition old call rate package!
But, GP doesn't have these kinda problems, one can use any prepaid packages in any call rate plan - Shohoj, Bondhu, Apon!
What ever, there's no option for checking usage limit as Banglalink doesn't have any data limited service for prepaid!

Settings in mobile:
You have to save apn: blweb
Settings in pc suite:

Same apn have to be given : blweb


Coverage:
You'll get Banglalink mobile internet where they've their mobile network.
But you'll get EDGE service only at large cities!

NO way!! permanently switched to GrameenPhone!!

For more than 2 years I have been using Banglalink for my call and some sort of internet usage. Banglalink internet was not that bad, but suddenly for few days it is creating several problems specially in terms of internet usage.

Here comes the most funny character of the Banglalink internet, it connects with net at my parents room (beside my room) and gets a good net connection as well but strangely in my room it doesn't get connect with Banglalink internet!!!! its really strange, what ever, it was not possible to use this kind of net any more.

More over, in Bangladesh if anyone goes outside any big city he'll get GPRS connection in Banglalink, but in case of GrameenPhone one will get EDGE in most of the peripheral area in my country.


Not only that, but also GP has different internet packages for prepaid and it can be used in any prepaid package. But in banglalink, :-S only one package and it must be used in a fixed call rate (desh). Its very uncomfortable for anyone to use this kind of services.

So, using GrameenPhone for both net usage and call services.

Review of Banglalink Internet speed!

As we don't have 3G service in our country, so for mobile browsing we have to rely on EDGE.
Now-a-days most of our mobile subscribers are providing EDGE service. In my last post I compared between GP & Banglalink internet.

In my previous post “using Banglalink Internet” I wrote about Banglalink speed, then someone of my junior colleagues said about his Banglalink speed which is about 28kbps (where I get 15-16kbps).

Yes It can happen, as these mobile internet services are based on location, data usage by other people under same BTS, distance fro BTS, obstruction from BTS.... so, I have checked my Banglalink internet speed again from speedtest.net!

But, its almost same for me, I'm getting average 15-16kbps with lots of fluctuation.
Here is the speedtest result.

Don't know when we will able to use 3G in Bangladesh. Sad but true most of the south Asian countries have this service but we don't.

Whats your net speed??
