Routers and WiFi Connections

Now my first warning.

There is WiFi Mesh in the market.

Do not fall prey and you need minimum two or more gadgets which will not work in a hill country like ours.

Do not believe any Service.Provider in Ceylon.

They are all Suckers.

If you have a Ethernet Connection keep it as your sovereign belt of gold.

They (Ethernet) are the fastest and the most reliable.

Do not be deceived into subscribing to FiberOptics.

The Service Providers neither do have the technology not kits not trained personal.

They are paying their staff by skyrocketing your bills.

If the Service Provider does not have service capability or credibility in Budulla or NuweraEliya, if you have FiberOptics inside your house or restaurant there is no meaning of this wire.

I have learned my lesson by pulling of the Ethernet Wire.

I am paying (1000s) thousands in a few hours to download a Linux image for fun testing.

That is buy using WiFi broadband from Dialog (details in another blog piece).

But if you Google, there are plethora of new WiFi gadgets every company  is selling and competing with opposing companies.

None of them is cheap and will never be available in Ceylon for a foreseeable future with a Debt Trap.

With new gadgets coming to the market and surplus in the market abroad, old Cheap Chinese stuff not selling those countries will flood our market

This is so with Conservatives in UK and BT putting a lot of their cash (before the pandemic) in a very competitive market.

Do not buy BT stuff discarded in UK and they won't work anyway in Ceylon.

With Dollar going up even cellphones will go up in price.

Buying a Laptop now or Chromebook is a big liability.

There is surplus in the market and the Coranavirus loss of revenue is added to your bill invariably.

No country has found a solution and each country is trying it's own gimmick to fool the masses addicted by Video Conferencing.

Now is not the time or bargaining time.

My belief is that it will take minimum of 5 years for recovery in Ceylon, well past the next election.

Do not think of contesting the next local or general election.

Even if you win you won't be able to recover your money spent in campaigning.

If you lose swallow a bitter pill or think of taking some local poison.

MaKfee guy's suicide in prison is a case in point.

He made millions with able connivance with Microsoft and none of that would help him in prison with litigations pending.

Lot of people will try this method in Ceylon but unlike the rich in other countries DO NOT dump the hard saved money on Telecoms or failing ventures.
