SK Broadband, SK Telecom’s wired Internet service, launched its Giga Internet service in the past.
Like other telecommunication companies, following the recommendation of the government agency (Korea Communications Commission)
It was stated in the terms and conditions that QOS would be strictly enforced when using a certain amount of data.
The problem is that the broadband wired data network control system is still in use from the Hanaro Telecommunications era (1997-2008).
It is impossible to accurately measure data usage at each home or business, so even if the terms and conditions say QOS is applied,
There is a risk of legal disputes with an unspecified number of customers in the future, so we are virtually not making calls.
——(Example of legal dispute)——
User (plaintiff) side: Judge, the data usage at our workplace is predicted to be **GB.
Due to the broadband QOS for no reason, our business experienced deterioration in service quality using data, input delays, etc.
Judge: Broadband, please submit the plaintiff’s exact data usage.
SK Broadband (Defendant): Your Honor, QOS is automatically activated when a user uses a certain amount of data.
Lawyer for the user (plaintiff): Sir, the broadband is still using the same control system as it was under Hanaro Telecommunications. Gigabit Internet is a new technology that came out later.
Judge: It is an old-generation wired Internet network control system currently in use by the defendant. It is based on a certain amount of data usage.
Can you say that QOS, which automatically slows down the speed, is correctly applied?
SK Broadband (defendant): Uh… now that I think about it… I’m sorry.
(Defendant lost)
——————–
In this way, as a broadband service that does not have an accurate data usage measurement system for QOS, there is no choice but to give up.
The problem is that it may seem like an advantage to be able to continue using data indefinitely without slowing down without QOS.
The overseas network quality is the worst among the three companies, so there is no overseas video streaming service or
It is strongly not recommended for environments where you have to play games that require matching with global users, etc.
conclusion
One way or another, wired internet is KT
The next best option is LG UPL, which has three dedicated overseas networks.
99% play only in domestic internet environment -> SK Broadband
