I found that data plans that Sri Lanka Telecom offers here[0] with the "zoom package" that he was referring to here[1]. The "zoom package" that he mentioned doesn't seem to be any faster, it just adds additional data to the cap for Microsoft Teams/Zoom/Skype/etc. Their standard plans have also separate data caps for regular and off peak hours. Remember how cell phone plans used to be metered by the minute for talk and you had a different allocation for nights and weekends. Now even cheap prepaid plans in the US offer unlimited talk. When Sri Lankan infrastructure improves and their economy grows plans like this will be a thing of the past.
