512 kbps is a good speed for Home aplication..As said above..the 512kbps internet connection will cost you QR200 per month and then the Landline will cost you 33 QR per month...Altoghether 233QR per month...There was an offer from Q Tel for Moziac TV ... how ever it is not available in some areas in Qatar as of today...

Dont get 2 MB speed. Max you should consider is 1MB but for most purposes 512K is fine. Problem is connection to other continents is never fast so no use to get highest speed. When I test connection to North America it is never better than 375KB.

Mozaic is not available in all areas. I ordered Mozaic Dec 9, I asked on Dec 31 where installation guys were. Was told by Qtel that my area would not get it for a "few" months. Nice of them to let me know! NOT!

Get Landline, 512K or 1MB Internet and then Orbit Satellite TV.

When Vodafone is in their internet may be better.
