Internet In Myanmar

[householder]

I have an apartment sorted in Yankin but not sure if there is any net there yet. Will have to arrange some that's for sure.

100/30meg connection would be nice

No chance. I'm paying $90 USD per month for a 2MB connection. The fastest available to individuals/business in Yangon is 3 MB from what I understand. Traders probably have some sort of exemption.

i know was only joking. Think i will be lucky to get 2 cups and some string.

This all sounds very promising for a challenging couple of online classes while I'm in Yangon... Coffee at Traders you say...glad I'm wising up my teaching staff before I leave, sounds like it's going to be a fund challenge...now this really does take me back to the 80's.

RedLink has infuriated the hell out of me the last few days. So slow as to be unusable, yet charging $90 USD a month for a service that everywhere else in the world would cost $30 or less.

A monopoly that rips people off for shit service, as previously referred to.

Customer support is as atrocious as you'd expect; partly because they're a monopoly and partly because consumers have no rights (well, not just consumers I suppose).

Incidentally, the power and water interruptions I can deal with, but for some reason, slow, overpriced internet REALLY ticks me off!
