Cost of internet / equipment for internet?
hi there,
going to move to Doha in 6 months.
How much is the average cost for fast internet connection (in other words: not too slow ;-)) for a normal PC?
What kind of internet connection will be there? DSL?
What kind of technical equipment will I need for Wifi etc.?
Will it work with my router (Fritzbox) bought in Germany?
Or will i need an other kind of modem?
Thanks in advance! :)
best regards
thanks 4 your advice!
dolphin07 just when you move here get the fiber connection as it is very cheaper then the other and provides really fast speeds select an area where it is avliable :)
thanks very much for all those detailed informations :)
just to clarify the previous posters very good and detailed info - mb implies MBPS.
There are basically two internet providers here: qtel and vodafone. You won't want to go with vodafone, trust me. Their overpriced packages and monthly limit on bandwidth just doesn't makes it a feasible option. Qtel on the other hand offers unlimited bandwidth on either dsl, or fiber optic(depedning on where you'll settle, as very few cities have access to fiber optic currently). DSL subscriptions vary from 1mb to 10mb with prices ranging from 250QR to 600QR( 600QR for 10mb), while fiber optic comes in 1mb, 10mb, 50mb and 100mb connection, with prices ranging from 250QR, 300QR, 400QR and 600QR per month( yes, fiber optic offers the best speed/price ratio). Add another 50QR to which ever package you decide to buy, and you'll be subscribed to basic mozaic service(digital TV).
EDIT: Qtel provides a router with wifi and installation free of charge if you choose to sign up for one year subscription.
try mosaic it comes also with tv receiver i think at first you pay 300-500 to set up and get 2 months free then every month its 150, this was our old one.
tnx very much to all :)
Somebody knows something about the kind(s) of internet connection?
You may call 111 to get clear information because some of the package is different.
They will return you 50.[ when they get 300 ].
