i've been here 4 months. Doha is quite expensive for food ,clothing etc. Housing not cheap 4 a decent place. we pay 12000qr 4 a 3 bed villa on a compound of 9 villas, mostly Brits living on it. You can go for a stand alone villa or one on a compound. There are plenty of apartments around. Most compounds are relatively new with facilities such as gym, pool,shop etc on bigger ones.
I live in Abu Hamour which isn't too bad, close to most things. West Bay is a posher area but rents can be very high, depends on what u want to pay really.
Internet ok we have broadband but it can play up occasionally. TV not too bad , we have OSN which has alot of US / UK channels and films.
Mobile phones r quite expensive compared to uk , u have to buy the handset then pay as u go or contract but rates r reasonable.
Hope of some help, good luck in doha, takes some getting used to !!
