Best Content Based Data Package Comparison 2021
As the new era of content based internet packages are flooding the market most of the users are prone to activate it. In Sri Lanka most YouTube unlimited package are limited to 360p video resolution and limiting to 1Mbps speed limit for the price starting from RS.147 to nearly RS 400. I personally tested all the packages below and here are the results. The rating is from top to bottom.
All packages are tested for more than two weeks and all tests preformed at the same time as much as possible and kept in the best signal coverage as much as possible always more than 2 bars.
- 1st. Mobitel 4G worked better in 480p to 720p before hit the FUP (fair usage policy) and after it’s in between 360p and 480p resolution range. 720p works on 3G networks no matter FUP. If you can wait 20 second buffer time it works 1080p.
- 2nd Airtel was better on 4G network and some time works 1080p with little startup buffer time at less than 20 seconds. 720p viewable most of the time but some times it goes to 480p. 3G networks usually 480p some times it works with 720p
- 3rd Hutch. I thought this place would go to Dialog but I was wrong. Hutch did better job than dialog and it works 360p to 480p without any buffer. 720p is not viewable with lot of buffers.
- 4th And last is Dialog. Sorry folks on 4G at least 360p not viewable and hardly watch 240p. On 3G networks it even can’t load youtube website
Conclusion
Heavy social media User
I personally used these all package and if I want to pick a package for heavy social media user, I would pick Airtel. It’s good if you have good 4G and 3G coverage. It’s 4G network is lag free for online gaming. But other data cost is much higher than other ISP’s.
Downloaders with social media
If you need data for other things like heavy downloads and etc.. I would go with Mobitel. At the moment cheapest data offers are from Mobitel. They also offer unlimited time based packages. 9in1 (RS 398) data package is a good option with added extra data pack activated.
