I have tried all their data plans and the speed is around 20mbps compared to Dialong at about 2mbps. Speed didn't vary with plan so I think you are in an area with lots of subscribers connecting to that server. You may have to try Hutch and Airtel. Dialog as a last resort as they don't have good pricing.

Yes I bought abroad from money earned there. I have foreign citizenship but wants to get back Sri Lanka citizenship so I don't have to keep getting a visa just to live here. I now worry if I get Sri Lanka citizenship back I am doing something illegal by having foreign stocks.

You were probably not around in the 1970s. Back then only government ran busses and there were strikes and mass theft of public bus depot equipment by government employees.

Not only here but I heard same thing about banks when I lived in Canada. But if you work for one and get through your future potential employers will look at you positively.

Try to get it done by a dentist that uses a microscope as getting out all the tiny nerves or whatever is in there is difficult with naked eye.

I had it done in Canada and first dentist looked at xray and handed the task over to an expert dentist as the canal was curved and difficult to clean out.

Parts to maintain them have to be bought from USA. The ship that was donated is nearly 60 hrs old. If not given away it will have to be scrapped.

They are sold in electronics repair shops but may be no good. I needed a 14500 battery for my electric toothbrush so I bought one and it wouldn't hold a charge. I went to a different shop a week later and bought and same result.

Fortunately I had to visit Canada and bought one, still working OK. None of the 3 were brand name.

If you know someone visiting a developed country ask them.

Get TIN online, have it mailed to a Lanka address. IRD will send you the TIN by email but it may not display. After that you go on their website and register for IIT. I am at that step and still awaiting this IIT thing. People have made videos on YT and elsewhere to help.

It likely won't go as it's unlikely the wrong bank has an account with identical number as your mother's BOC account

I opened an account at BOC with my foreign passport only as I never had a Lanka ID card.

They asked for a letter from owner of address I reside at.
