Global comparison - link contributions

Submitted by Karthik on 10 December, 2005 - 20:45

Hey,

If you'd like to help out and recommend ISPs for inclusion in the global comparison page, please add a reply below with the following details:

  • Country name
  • ISP name
  • ISP homepage URL
  • ISP plan page URL

Please feel free to submit more than one ISP for a country. I will eventually only be including one of them on the page, but it allows for greater reliability.

Also, please make sure that the ISPs being submitted meet the criteria specified on the global comparison page.

Thanks :)

Country Name: Bahrain
ISP Name: Batelco (Bahrain Telecommunications)
ISP Homepage: http://www.batelco.com/
ISP Plan URL: http://www.batelco.com/preview.asp?articleid=776

Only one ISP is there. Though i hear Vodafone plans to, but most probably will not because Governmeent controlled Batelco owns all the infrastructure.
Quality of Service is good.(Excellent by Indian standards ;) )

But then you cant include Tata Indicom, Sify or Airtel since they also offer 64,128kbps connections....

Anyway, i thought you can include it because as long as they provide 512kbps connections too, they can be shown (coz, c'mon, you are not gonna showcase the best of the best alone now can you?)
Maybe you can also show how other nations have poor broadband offers!

EDIT: Sorry, got your mail just now.
1)Ok, (All retarded) Indian companies excluded.
2)I was looking at d/l speeds only. silly me.. But when i used it i would get an average of 200kbps, so i think you can add it too (if you like)...
3)No, i'm not hunting for such info ;) just gave you the info from experience..

Sure. The list is at present missing:

  • Hong Kong [Netvigator]
  • China
  • Israel [Bezeqint]
  • Philippines
  • South Africa [Telkom]
  • Egypt

I've included what I believe are the popular ISPs (in the country in question) within brackets.

Countries in Europe etc. are also fine. But I'd like to keep the list representative rather than comprehensive. So everyone might not be added.

Please try to confirm any submissions with somebody who is either a member of the ISP in question or from that country. In other words, please try and pre-validate your submissions.

Also, please make sure that the pre-requisites are met :)

Thanks heaps Din :)

ok da. I'll see what I can do :)

Hong Kong:

ISP URL: Netvigator [English]
ISP Plan URL: Service Plans.

Their standard plan appears to be an unlimited 3Mbps/640Kbps plan for ~ Rs.1140. But this includes an 18 month commitment. I'm told this is the most commonly used plan..

One down :)
