This rant shows the absolute frustration in Sri Lanka over broadband. As someone who works in the region & in Sri Lanka, it's terrible to see the poor QoS delivered by #lka operators. I use #starlink unlimited as I can afford, but that's not the case for ordinary citizens. Fixing the broadband with solid QoS should be a top priority of @mode_srilanka. We can't build a digital economy without addressing the fundamental infrastructure layer. As I worked within the system closely last year, I took the liberty to share this with people I am connected to in Gov/Operators. I sincerely hope this will be given top priority in the #digitaleconomy agenda.

Here are some simple legal steps you can take against shops, hotels, or restaurants in Sri Lanka that discriminate against locals (e.g., “foreigners only” policies or extra fees for Sri Lankans). These are based on the Constitution and tourism laws—always consult a lawyer for your specific case.
1. Report to Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA): File a formal complaint via their website (https://t.co/KNGoffRgh3), email, or hotline (+94 112 426 800). They investigate discriminatory practices and can suspend or cancel the business’s license, plus notify online travel agencies to stop bookings.  This is the quickest way for tourism spots.
2. Invoke the Constitution (Article 12): This law prohibits discrimination based on race, language, etc., in access to public places like shops, restaurants, and hotels.  You can file a Fundamental Rights petition directly with the Supreme Court (costs around LKR 5,000-10,000 in fees, no need for a lawyer initially). If proven, the court can order the business to stop and pay compensation.
3. Contact Tourist Police: Call the Tourist Police hotline (1912 or +94 112 421 111) for immediate raids or enforcement. They work with SLTDA and local authorities to fine or shut down violators.

4. Complain to Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA): If it’s about unfair pricing or fees only for locals, report to CAA (https://t.co/UKDibRJmfa or hotline 1977). They handle consumer protection and can impose fines or order refunds under the Consumer Affairs Authority Act.
5. File a Police Complaint: For broader discrimination, lodge a complaint at your local police station. It could lead to charges under equality laws, especially if it involves harassment.
Document everything (photos, recordings, witnesses) before acting. Public exposure on social media can pressure them too, but focus on legal routes for real change, check local tourism offices for support.
Sri Lanka is one of the most beautiful countries, it’s clean, no pollution and people are amazing. Comparing it with India in itself is an insult and the food is just never level.
