In order to efficiently terminate VoIP traffic, it is important to connect a stable Internet to ensure the smooth operation of GSM gateways and SIM-banks. In Bangladesh, the broadband sector is currently at an early stage of development. Nevertheless, it is possible to use the fiber-optic Internet with a high download speed that is available in large cities. However, what is the monthly amount the terminator has to spend on Internet services?
In Bangladesh, the major Internet providers are BTCL and DOZE. They offer connectivity via various technologies, including DSL, Fiber-Optic, Dial-Up, and Wi-Max. It is worth noting that Internet services in Bangladesh are quite cheap.
BTCL offers two optimal options for connecting the Internet. They are lines of BCube and GPON. BCube provides access to ADSL 2+ technology and includes several unlimited packages:
- Infinity 256. The download speed is 256 Kbps; the monthly subscription fee is $4.
- Infinity 512. The download speed is 512 Kbps; the monthly subscription fee is $ 6.
- Infinity 1000. The download speed is 1,000 Kbps; the monthly subscription fee is $ 9.
- Infinity 1500. The download speed is 1,500 Kbps; the monthly subscription fee is $12.
The one-time connection fee is as little as $5.
The GPON line includes fiber optic connection and provides five unlimited Internet plans:
- GPON 1. The download speed is up to 1 Mbps; the monthly fee is $12.
- GPON 2. The download speed is up to 2 Mbps; the monthly subscription is $18.
- GPON 4. The download speed - up to 4 Mbps; the monthly subscription is $25.
- GPON 6. The download speed is up to 6 Mbps; the monthly subscription is $33.
- GPON 10. The download speed is up to 10 Mbps; the monthly subscription is $42.
Internet provider Doze provides access services via fiber optic technology. It has two lines of packages to offer:
- POWER PACKS. The line includes Internet plans, which provide for restrictions on the use of data. There are 3 packages: Speed (download speed is up to 10 Mbps, the limit is up to 80 GB, the subscription fee is $18 per month); Speed + (the speed is up to 10 Mbps, the limit is up to 150 GB, the subscription fee is $ 30); Premium (the speed is up to 25 Mbps, the limitation is up to 500 GB, the subscription fee is $54).
- UNLIMITED PACKS. The line includes three unlimited packages: Freedom (download speed - up to 3 Mbps, subscription - $18 per month); Freedom + (speed - up to 5 Mbps, subscription fee - $ 30); Best Match (speed - up to 8 Mbps, subscription fee - $42).
Choosing one of the above Internet plans depends on the amount of traffic that you plan to terminate. Provider Doze offers the most profitable packages. If you use the multi-channel equipment, speed is more important to you, so POWER PACKS is more suitable. However, since there is no need to place a large number of multi-channel gateways in one location, select the Best Match package from the UNLIMITED PACKAGE line. This is the best option for the price/quality ratio. Remember that 42 kbps is required for each equipment channel for normal operation of the voip software gateway.
