BTRC cuts Bangladesh Internet upload bandwidth by 75%


The telecoms regulator has asked the international internet gateway operators to reduce upload bandwidth of the ISPs by 75 percent in an effort to prevent illegal VoIP.

The instruction went out on Thursday in a letter signed by Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) Senior Assistant Director Sabina Islam.

The letter said the order would remain in force starting from 6pm on Thursday until further orders.

But, IIG operator Fiber at Home official Sumon Ahmed said the instruction would hurt the internet service.

Internet Service Providers Association President Aktaruzzaman Manju said their clients were facing troubles in uploading data.

He said they were receiving complaints from the subscribers and that it should be withdrawn.

However, banks, financial institutions, software firms, travel agents, embassies and government organisations will be exempted from the cut. But lists of such organisations and agencies have to be sent to BTRC in seven days.

BTRC says the instruction will not impact download from internet.

An official of the watchdog’s Engineering and Operation Division said the instruction had been made to prevent illegal VoIP on a trial basis.

This is another big conspiracy by BAL. They are proving their Indian-ism with these everyday happening events.

Bangladeshi IT sector has started to boom. Software companies of Bangladesh have started to get big offshore contracts. It is the fastest developing sector in Bangladesh and Internet connectivity is the backbone for these foreign currency earning business entities. India has been very concerned about this and they see Bangladeshi companies as threat. They have already mentioned such fear about Bangladeshi IT sector in many occasions.

Many people believe they BAL made this decision to stop the spreading of the news and videos of their recent genocides. But that can not be the sole cause. Helping India in getting those offshore contracts is one of the major reason for this self (Bangladesh) destructive event.

The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) on Sunday lifted bar on upload speed which was an earlier directive to cut internet upload bandwidth.

Even if I agree with you that BAL has lifted ban of upload, then what the hell is wrong with the download speed now. From yesterday, I am getting a download speed of only 42Kbps where as I used to get even on friday 128Kbps. My question is, did they really lifted the ban??

Why don't you read the news before chanting India, India, India... Software firms are exempt of the bandwidth cut as per the news.

With the kind of intellect being shown here, Indian it firm would be more worried about Somalia taking their business than bd.

Lol I have been issued infraction just for pointing out the obvious that the news mentions software industry is exempt of the bandwidth cut and no need to drag India into your muck. Seems it burned pretty bad way.
