Zain releases internet @home (wimax)

[abdulla]

Basically they are offering three packages as shown below.

• Wimax is a wireless service so you don’t need Batelco’s fixed line.
• Not all areas are covered, but they promised that all areas should be covered within 2 weeks. Call 107 to check if your area is covered.
• After applying it would take them around 4 days to actually come over your house and setup the device.
• For each package you would get a 136xxxxx number (voice over ip, meaning that the call would go through the internet) and you can call unlimited calls to other 136xxxxx numbers for free.
• Wimax device would cost 40BD if taken with a 12-month contract, and 30BD if taken with an 18-month contract.
• Setup fee is currently waived until the end of this year.
• After reaching your threshold you can either be charged 10fils/1mb or your speed would go down to 128kbps with no extra charges on using up more bandwidth.

note: office packages are to be made available in November 2007.

Again limits …..
WE WANT UNLIMITED INTERNET!!!

Is this too hard to deliver, what upset me is that we are already paying a premium price (I mean 40 or 50 BD is 100 USD+; too much if you ask me) still no ISP is providing decent internet serve that is fast, stable and with no limits .
