Myanmar Net

Image Source: http://www.myanmarnet.com/product/
My first introduction Myanmar Net is a world-class service.
It owns Frontiir Myanmar which is a subsidiary business.
99% of people said this country is late.
But Myanmar net’s service is said to be perfect.
It outperforms all WiFi services.
There are three kinds of services for business use and home use.

For now, Myanmar net is available in two cities of Yangon and Mandalay.
We can not use it elsewhere yet.
In Yangon, it can be used in seven townships of Lanmadaw, Latha, Pabedan, Kyauktada, Botataung, Pazundaung, Mingalar Taung Nyunt.
In addition, 18 other townships can also be used in condominiums.
It can be used in LaPyaeWon Plaza, Tat Toe Nu Yin Condo (Dagon Township),Pearl Condominium, Link Condo (Bahan Township), BarGaYar Condo, Residence Khaymar, Twin Centro Complex (Sanchaung Township), Orchid Condominium, Hill Top Condo (Alone Township),Myanmar Plaza, ShwePinOwn Residence,Yan Aye,Yan Nyein,Wah Wah Win Residence,MinYeKyawZwar Condo (Yankin Township),CharThar Condo (Tamwe Township), Inya View Condo (Kamaryut Township),MinDaMa Condo,Thiri Condo, Royal Malikha Condo,Primrose Condo (Mayangone Township),Pun Hlaing Golf Estate Residence, Pun Hlaing Si Lon Hospital, Industrial -5 (Hlaing Thar Yar Township), PinLon Hospital (North Dagon Township), Kandawgyi Tower (Mingalar Taung Nyunt Township), Malikha Condo (Thahgan Gyun Township), and in 6 other condominiums and 6 places, but with the information we gathered we only saw so far.
In Mandalay, Myanmar Net can be used as the 71, 74, 26, 35 street of Chan Aye Thar Zan Township.
In Mandalay it can only be used in a narrow area.It will need to expand more quickly.

I will also explain a bit about Myanmar net’s service. First, I will talk about the public Internet service. Public internet service can be used immediately. Currently connected by 7 townships in Yangon. The other is a commercial Internet service. Monument network equipment can be connected wider. In this case, you need to create a private network connection. Therefore, the service becomes higher than usual. Personal service is like a mobile money account using a card system. This service can also be used in 7 townships in Yangon. This service is similar to using the mobile Internet.
Without putting the device in the house, speed is guaranteed wherever you are.

Next, I will write about various services and prices of MyanmarNet.
There are two types of monthly internet use.
CPE is a device for connecting to the Internet, and it is used for two services.
It is necessary to use CPE at home.
It takes 47,000 Kyat as an initial cost to use CPE.
Internet speed will be chosen from the following.
Monthly fees(Kyats) Speed Account Card
16,000 Kyats 500 Kbps 1 Card
24,000 Kyats 800 Kbps 2 Cards
44000 Kyats 1.5 Mbps 3 Cards
64000 Kyats 2.2 Mbps 4 Cards
83000 Kyats 2.8 Mbps 5 Cards
158000 Kyats 5.5 Mbps 6 Cards
225000 Kyats 8 Mbps 7 Cards

In the case of mobile without CPE, the initial cost is 3000 Kyat, and will be chosen from the following.
Monthly fees(Kyats) Speed Account Card
7,500 Kyats 300 Kbps 1 Card
12,000 Kyats 500 Kbps 1 Card
20,000 Kyats 800 Kbps 2 Cards
40,000 Kyats 1.5 Mbps 3 Cards
60,000 Kyats 2.2 Mbps 4 Cards
79000 Kyats 2.8 Mbps 5 Cards
154000 Kyats 5.5 Mbps 6 Cards
221000 Kyats 8 Mbps 7 Cards

There is also a daily service using a mobile account card.
You can purchase cards from 300 Kyat and connect to MyanmarNet.
There are various kinds of this service.
You can also rent a CPE device.
For CPE rental, a deposit of 50000 Kyat is required with an initial cost of 15000 Kyat, 3000 Kyat per month.
When returning the device, a deposit of 50000 Kyat will come back.
If you pay 210000 Kyat you can also purchase CPE. Even if you purchase it costs 15000 Kyat of initial cost.

For users, it is convenient if there is a place where you can consult if an error occurs.
I do not like services that I do not communicate to solve.
It is important that the service meets customer’s needs as soon as possible.
If this section is weak, the service gets worse.

Currently, the Internet is prevalent, but there are a lot of Internet service providers, we chose the above service to compare more effectively.
According to the words of the current user of the internet service provider, as you know well, there are a few problems.
This is not so big as to need immediate improvement, but if it is not improved sooner or later, the user will be gone.
If the problem is not accepted when reported on the phone, it will not be improved.
In order to approach developed countries, it will take more time.
