In Bangladesh, since September 1, 2015, the cost of bandwidth for Internet gateways has been conditionally reduced by 41% per Mbps (megabits per second). Under this, the price per Mbps used to be Tk 1,006, which is now Tk 625.

However, even if the price of bandwidth is reduced so much, it is expected that ordinary consumers will not get any benefit from it. Because that price will only apply to 10 Gbps (gigabits per second) bandwidth slab. Initially, the new reduced prices will apply to Dhaka, Chittagong and Cox’s Bazar.

Bdnews24.com quotes the country’s internet gateways Reporting, A total of 36 Internet gateways, two companies with 10 Gbps bandwidth slab. The rest take 2 to 5 Gbps slabs. As a result, ordinary customers are now relying on Internet gateways and Internet service providers to reap the benefits of these reduced prices.

Meanwhile, Mahmud Hossain, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer of Grameenphone, the largest mobile phone operator in Bangladesh in terms of number of subscribers, told bdnews24.com: However, this year we have reduced the average internet charge by 56%. ”
