As of January 2013, Banglalion offers 3 different prepaid internet packages. These packages differ from one another solely because of their speed. The 3 prepaid plans include speed limits of 256 kbit/s, 512 kbit/s & 1 Mbit/s. The customer has the option of buying scratch cards to get data volume. Prepaid plans are by far the easiest internet plans. Because of their easy and fast usability, more people tend to buy prepiad plans over postpaid ones. Nevertheless, 2 Mbit/s can only be obtained in postpaid plans, so it is a downside to prepaid plans.<ref name=prepaidplans>[http://www.banglalionwimax.com/index.php/products-a-services/prepaid-plans Banglalion Prepaid Plans]</ref> |
