I’ve been looking at what would be the best option to get. I’ve checked with some of my friends, and well I would have to go with LBN. The only issue with this is you don’t get it everywhere, and it has to be in an area where their cable runs.
LBN, you get all the channels that Comet and Dialog offer, and more, plus you just plug it and tune from your tv. You don’t need to get a dish or a decoder box, plus say you want to share the connection at home you simply run the line to the respective tv and just tune from the tv. With comet and dialog you have to purchase a decoder box for each tv or share it, but you have to watch the same program in all.
The advantage with the other 2 is they have wider coverage, I guess dialog has more, as I remember in some outstation areas the CBN Sat as it was know was available out of Colombo, and I mean far far from Colombo.
Most number of channels – 1. LBN 2. Dialog 3. Comet
Best Coverage – 1. Dialog 2. Comet 3. LBN
Comet has been stable for a long time, but they are not customer friendly, plus from the time they started they haven’t added many new channels or provided better services/benefits to their customers.
LBN and Dialog are and will provide better services for their customers, as they are doing now.
Some issues with LBN are, that every channel on their network has different volumes, some are really loud and some you can’t hear at all. If they can fix those little issues that would be perfect. Z Studio would be really low and HBO just right. With comet and dialog picture quality is excellent and so is the sound.
Since I have LBN in my area and my budget is limited I would go with that.

LBN may have the most number of channel’s but when I recently tried to acquire their services they proved to have very inferior customer support services. I spent days calling and asking them if they can provide my residence with a connections. They never got back to me. Finally I had to find my way to their office in Mt. Lavinia, following which they agreed to send someone over the next day. A person did come along and after a long assessment and offering us a huge bill saying that they had to put up cables and poles announced that they can’t start work on it until Monday… Monday proved to be fruitless. Several calls followed. They don’t seem to have capable technical staff. They never called us with any regrets and hours later following many calls to various persons and numbers. I was told that they can’t provide us with the service and that they would pay a refund.
So four days after taking our money and making us call them more than 10 times, we are offered a refund? The other channels may have less to offer channel vise. But please if you value any customer satisfaction go to someone with more class. Such service providers don’t deserve to be in business in this country. Poor show LBN. I hope my blog gets Dialog a few more customers.
