missing the point...

Who cares what the speed is between you and Qtel?!

What proportion of websites you visit are hosted in Qatar? Zero.

The bottleneck is not the ADSL line, but Qtel's cable links to Europe.

I now have one megabit to Qtel, but am still only getting 25KB on torrent. That's because of cable capacity and (I suspect but Qtel denies) traffic shaping by Qtel.

Gulf Bridge won't launch the new cables for another couple of years, so it's only going to get worse, no matter how fast your connection to Qtel.
