Bangladesh has over 200gbps bandwidth of which only 33% is consumed by domestic demands, and exports 10gbps bandwidth to India.
A Singaporean Telecommunication Company is working to sell the unutilised bandwidth with five East Asian countries through undersea cable for bandwidth sharing.

Confirming the news, Monwar Hossain, managing director of the state-owned Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Limited (BSCCL), said Singaporean company Blueberry Telecom has submitted a proposal in this regard to the government.

BSCCL is assigned to manage country’s bandwidth through the undersea cable.

In the proposal, Blueberry has laid out plans to sell the bandwidth to Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Indonesia.

“Myanmar is a big potential market for Bangladesh’s unutilised bandwidth,” he said.



He said a delegation from Blueberry met with BTRC high officials on Thursday to discuss about the legal issues for the connectivity.

Currently, Bangladesh is exporting 10gbps bandwidth to Indian State of Tripura in return for annual payment of Tk9.6cr.

Bangladesh has now over 200gbps bandwidth and after meeting the domestic demand, it has the capacity to export bandwidth up to 50gbps. Bangladesh is consuming only 33% of the total bandwidth currently.

Bangladesh will be connected with second undersea cable early next year to get another 1320gbps bandwidth.

So we have 200gbps atm - and around 2/3rds of that is just laying there unused. And with the second cable coming online...another 1320gbps is getting added.

Of that, we want to export only 50gbps...WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?

Internet usage has gone through the roof in the last 5-6 years and will grow exponentially in the next 5-10 years. But, it is clear, we will continue to have excess bandwidth

Why would anyone still be with Link3?????? DOT & Mazeda in Dhanmondi provide outstanding service and best of all their FTP servers are massive!!!!

This is the latest update on my FTP server - a simple request on FB and boom. I don't have to bother with T0rrents - they do the downloading for me. I just grab it off the server in a minute and off I go. Plus - they have PLEX - so, that makes watching it on my TV really convenient.

But very recently Govt mobile operator TeleTalk have launched 3G service that is a huge improvement to mobile broadband in bd. Teletalk 3G never provide whole coverage and some time connection dropped to 2.5G. So for me it was mixed experience and today i am gonna share some of the high speed package and for you which package will be good can be find out. Lets take a look for a foreigner or local which is the high speed or mobile broadband provider in Bangladesh.

According to your requirement you can get 2.60 mb. or more then 2 mb. 16 GB is minimum . You can increase your net speed more then 16 gb

That's what I get for assuming everyone is from Dhaka Still, it's better than QUBEE or BanglaLion! Internet in Dhaka is awesome now and I'm looking forward to 4G by the end of 2017

What is the average internet speed in Bangladesh?

Average speeds are still poor - because everything is Dhaka centric. So, while broadband in Dhaka is very cheap and there is fierce competition - the rest of the country is still catching up.

I'd say average speeds for Bangladesh are still just below 2mbps - which isn't saying much...but only 5 years ago, it was less than half that!

@OrdinaryGenius This is Mazeda and their basic packages. Very competitive pricing

http://mazedabd.com/packages.html - up to 9mbps for home users. But the most popular packages are around the BDT 1000-1500 range
