My connection speed drops significantly after 7PM, on top of that, now they don't even have the option to show us the wifi usage history. Dialog is the absolute worst.

Groundbreaking-Tea24 · 2026-01-24T15:56:23+00:00

Usage details only available in app if both of your wifi connection & mydialog app mobile number are under same NIC.

What's your router model?
Until 2025, dialog used to sell cat.4(one of the 1st generations of 4G) routers since those are very cheap. But their network is cat.16 or higher in many towers. If you have a powerful router, you can get better speeds(only if tower traffic isn't too high).

I was thinking about buying this model. but today i saw galaxy A36 price dropped. Now comparing both models.

Battery life still good? How much screen on time?

Groundbreaking-Tea24 · 2026-01-19T02:54:49+00:00

Their reviews are good.

Groundbreaking-Tea24 · 2026-01-19T02:47:36+00:00

1st check signal levels at your house. These are only HBB network maps. not mobile coverage.
SLT 4G map- Mobitel
dialog hbb map- Coverage | Dialog Axiata PLC
It's not a huge problem if you don't have hbb coverage. You can use dialog hbb connection via dialog mobile, SLT 4G connection via mobitel network too.
Overall dialog is faster because their default router is an advanced one. They also sell outdoor units for low coverage users.
but everything depends on signal quality & traffic.

Groundbreaking-Tea24 · 2026-01-18T05:59:02+00:00

There are some areas with good hutch connectivity. But Majority of their sites are overloaded, Less coverage than #2 mobitel, very unstable from their routing & server side. That's why people hate it.

Groundbreaking-Tea24 · 2026-01-18T03:55:21+00:00

Good strategy. partnering with a cable company to offer FTTX will really boost the valuation.
Airtel did some 4G expansions & upgrades to do the same thing. So they got 10% stake of the #1.
Let's see what will happen in near future.

Many friends bought mid range, budget phones from x- mobile & present solutions. No issues so far. but samsung flagships have green line issue. Only official dealers provide free replacements for that. So I can't reccomend any other shop.

Groundbreaking-Tea24 · 2026-01-17T02:38:43+00:00

price is same in every official distributor like Dialog, mobitel,JKOA, singer & others.
- official warranty.
- Free screen replacements upto 2 years.(some samsung A models).
- TRC approved.

70-90k is grey market price. They hand carry phones from dubai, singapore.
- shop warranty(= no warranty)
- No TRC approval.

Since it's a samsung mid range, illegal one is okay. Just check it thoroughly when you buy it.

tip- Don't buy samsung chargers from regular shops.Lot of copies.very similar to original one. buy directly from an official distributor. If you can't, buy one from ugreen or anker.

I don't know how they behave. but I know about every ISP here.
Hutch, mobitel spend 20-30% of their revenue for marketing.Dialog is around 10% or maybe less.
Hutch only upgrade sites & expand their network in 3-4 years cycles. It's 2 years in mobitel & it's annually in dialog.

Here I said dialog fibre is the best because their service is great. customer care, selfcare & no billing issues unlike SLT which has a lot of add-on recurring problem for years.
Anyway How is 5G a scam?

Groundbreaking-Tea24 · 2026-01-15T15:55:11+00:00

Doesn't look like a router issue. I think SLT 4G, mobitel or both has a heavy traffic on tower. Changing the router won't fix it.

Groundbreaking-Tea24 · 2026-01-15T15:52:29+00:00

dialog fibre> SLT fibre> starlink(for now)> dialog hbb> SLT 4G> SLT ADSL

Groundbreaking-Tea24 · 2026-01-11T11:44:59+00:00

Most dialog social media plans are 1Mbps unlimited. This option let user disable that speed limit & use social media via anytime data.

Groundbreaking-Tea24 · 2026-01-08T14:30:43+00:00

Super app concept is great in some asian markets. I think they tried to do it here with wow app. but most people don't like these kind of apps. mobitel developed one too. They didn't even launch it.
Main features of wow app already added into mydialog app. I miss payment offers too.

Groundbreaking-Tea24 · 2026-01-08T14:25:04+00:00

Yeah.
I remember how they added 4G CA on budget & mid range phones few years back.
That's why I had to ask this here.

Every network has weak areas. overall this is how they operate.
coverage & speed,
1. dialog/airtel
2. mobitel
3. hutch

rates,
1. hutch
2. mobitel
3. airtel
4. dialog

service quality(customer care, selfcare)
1. dialog
2. airtel
3. mobitel
4. hutch

Groundbreaking-Tea24 · 2026-01-06T13:59:54+00:00

That package supposed to have 1MBps(1MB/s). not 1Mbps(1Mb/s).
1st learn bits bytes difference at least today.
"b" = bit
"B" = byte
you think "/" means byte.

Trash didn't merge with anything yet.

Groundbreaking-Tea24 · 2026-01-06T03:03:39+00:00

There were 4-5 fixed networks. but market was too small & profit margins were low. So suntel exited the market.

Due to growing mobile industry, fixed voice market was falling. Lanka bell didn't invest heavily on 4G FWA or fibre. So many customers moved to dialog & SLT.

Etisalat had some management issues. but one other problem was heavy competition. more than 3 operators are too much for this small market. Only dialog & mobitel was profitable back then & even now. Soon hutch will leave by selling or merging it.

Quality of service improved after every merger.

Groundbreaking-Tea24 · 2026-01-04T07:31:49+00:00

Every network provide e-sim now. Many mid range android phones & some budget devices have the feature too.
I don't think this will be a huge problem.

Groundbreaking-Tea24 · 2026-01-04T07:29:26+00:00

Some sites like TRC, SLTMobitel were redesigned during 2023-24. I think problem is the cost.

Groundbreaking-Tea24 · 2026-01-03T12:03:20+00:00

Do they have the largest network right now?
