Internet in Sri Lanka
The ADSL coverage has improved a lot in Sri Lanka and telephone
calls are still much cheaper than in Europe or other parts
of Asia.
Many mobile phone providers are competing for customers and
sms are available at 2 Rupees.
Positive is also the availability of Internet on Mobile devices
and some friendly support staff at Dialogue and SLT, the currently
leading providers of Sri Lankan telecommunication.
10 minutes of mobile email services cost around as little
as 1 rupee.
It is fairly easy to buy a sim card and to enjoy some good
and competitive communication services all over the island.
Dialogue, Suntel, Lanka Bell, Mobitel, Hutch and the national
SLT are in for a small domestic market which is very competitive
for consumers.
Internet Cafes can be a bit expensive with up to over 200
rupees per hour in tourist areas whilst monthly ADSL flat
rates cost around 3.000 rupees per month.
