GrameenPhone started to provide internet service in Bangladesh since few years and is the first to provide such service to people. It uses EDGE technology for this. EDGE is a GSM 2.5 technology but not 3G, often referred as pre-3G.
Grammen has picked-up customers quickly, although the service was available to only limited number of people. It’s very obvious that with increase of customers, they didn’t put extra care on increase of band-width. The ultimate sufferers were the subscribers who are putting money in every month and day, but not getting a good speed at all.

Mobile operator Aktel (TM International) has recently launched EDGE internet service in Bangladesh. Earlier it was providing this service using GPRS technology, but considering the fact that GPRS is very slow and customer were depending on mobile internet services more and more.
So far I’ve heard the speed is good, not less than 10 kBps which is I think fine.
