Qtel Doubles ADSL internet speed for Free!!!
Yes it has happened. A number of my friends got an SMS form Qtel letting them know that their broadband ADSL connection bandwidth has been doubled. I didn't get the SMS but as soon as I came home I ran the Internet Speed Test and lo and behold, my previously 1 MB connection was now showing the below readings!!!
2MB, woo hoo, now I'll be surfing QL twice as fast :o)
The official Qtel announcement is here:

Some speeds will go up, But ...Some speeds will go up, But realisticly with contention it wont be that much faster.
They may increase speed but I bet bandwidth has not changed.You get nothing free from Qtel.

mine... ...got SMS too yesterday,
from 512kbps, as i check speedtest last night... i got plenty of 1Mbps... it depends on the link testing on other end's locations.
a freebie is something to be thanks with and hope it is to last.... until the next upgrade :)

,,,,,willl they start charging later ......... ...Let us hope it is going to be FREE...
such offers normally comes to give a "taste" to the customers and make them addict. Later they charge it and customes will give into that addiction.
See the way, WALMARTS give cheap prices for a few months initially, literally "kill" the small scale farmers and later all customers rush to only WALMART ,whatever be the prices, because there are no small farmers / roadside groceries. !!!!

thats nice ...you had the connection and you didnt get any text from Qtel where as i dont have connection and i got 2 texts.
smoke said
Birdie, they are not giving ...Birdie, they are not giving you free internet, they have "upgraded" your connection speed, so they are not charging you. Before if you had to upgrade from 512kb to 1mb they'd charge u 50 bucks i think which is just stupid, even charging to downgrade. So thats what they mean by "free" upgrade :p

Ok.. ill bite.. how do you ...Ok.. ill bite.. how do you get those connection speeds?
What is QTel thinking with the new 8MB service for 600 Riayl? I mean, all of the packages are extremely overpriced, but thats just absurd!! Thats about $165 USD! You can get a 50MB Fiber Line direct to your house for less than that in the US.
Does Vodaphone plan on offering landlines / internet services at any point?
