Anything else I need to know about?
Yep. Qtel’s Fiber Optic, that’s what! The new ultra fast broadband network will have us all browsing the World Wide Web at super fast speeds. Broadband represents the majority of Internet connections. ADSL accounts for the majority of fixed broadband services, given the previous monopoly of Qtel in the market. Advertised broadband speeds are currently relatively low. However, recognising the need and the inherent opportunities in faster communications for social and economic development, Qtel is planning to replace 100% of the existing copper connections with Qtel Fiber Optic by mid2013, allowing users to browse the internet over a hundred times faster! Over the coming months new products and services will start to be made available on the new high speed broadband network that could go up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps), one of the fastest speeds in the world!
