Where can I find the best deals on internet access?

I have contacted Qtel and their cheapest option for a 1 MB internet speed is QR600/month. Are there any other providers out there that can offer me a cheaper price? Any other ideas/suggestions?

Question: How to Increase Internet Speed?
Answer: Increasing Band-Width By 20%

Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates
and interrogating your PC etc To get it back:

Click Start then Run and type "gpedit.msc" without quotes.This opens the group policy editor.
Then go to: Local Computer Policy then Computer Configuration then Administrative Templates
then Network then QOS Packet Scheduler and then to Limit Reservable Bandwidth. Double click
on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the
'Explain' tab i.e."By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the

QTel Internet Speed

I keep having problems with my internet connection. I've had the top package for a while, (an outragerous 400 QR a month) but I keep having the same problems. Sometimes it cuts out and says no DSL connection, it comes back after a while if I turn it off and leave it off. Now the download speed is rubbish. Previously when downloading files I could get up to 450-500 kbs but now I struggle to get 50 kbs.

Any ideas?

Mozaic TV

I've read some of the previous answers to queris on Mozaic tv. however since most of the queries are quite dated; I thought best to bring this discussion up again;

Assuming the basic Qrs. 250 subscription is what we opt for;

1. How is the internet quality, if we have all the three services enabled simultaneously, would we get a minimum 1 mb download speed?

2. If we do not enable the tv service and use the landline and internet only, will there be a discernable difference in the internet speed.

3. The wifi router that comes with the service, is it only wifi enabled or can we use ethernet(wired) ports on the router to connect to other peripherals.

4. What are the basic tv packages, anything worth watching (english)

Qtel Doubles ADSL internet speed for Free!!!

By moeed on Tue, 19/05/2009 - 10:04pm

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:

Will Qtel double the internet speed?

I heard that at 15th of May (2 days ago), that Qtel was going to double all internet speeds.

People who subscribed at 512 kb got 1 MB.
People who subscribed at 1 MB got 2 MB.
People who subscribed at 2 MG got 3 or 4 MB.

I still don't have my upgrade? I got the 2 MB package, and I was wondering if 2 MB subscribers are getting an upgrade.

Any people out there who bought the 2 MB one?
Help please.
