Latest speed test results indicate that a majority of broadband service providers provide over 60% of the advertised speed for their users at the moment, an improvement from last years speed tests, Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) said

According to TRC Director General Anusha Palpita the initial speed test conducted last year indicated that the majority of service providers supplied only 20% of the advertised rates.

“We will be conducting constant speed tests and will continue the talks on broadband speed rates. We plan to allocate a certain time period for service providers who do not meet up to their advertising standards, to reach their promised figures of speed. However we have been able to observe a sharp improvement in the broadband speed during the past few months,” he added. (Lakna Paranamanna)
