Has anyone heard if the Vodafone USB Broadband has been launched yet?? Ran into a VFone guy and they have it up and running but havent heard if its actually for sale yet.

Question 2. Anyone have experience with QTel USB Broadband out in West Bay Pearl/ZigZag areas?

Question 3. Looking for a USB Router to turn it into a Wireless Access Point for the rest of the PC's while at home? Reccomendations, Locations? etc??

Thanks all!!

Got 1GB (QAR100/mo.) last Jan 3 and paid QAR399 for the USB. for 1 GB max would be 30 hours a month usage.

The regular ADSL packages are unlimited. As a torrent user myself, I am constantly watching speeds and UL/DL ratios. I've never had any issues.

What is strange is that the website boasts up to 7.5MB connection, but another user above posted 200k download speeds. My 4MB ADSL line connects at ~500k downloads. I guess it would depend on the area / signal, but it doesnt sound that impressive and the overlimit charges are really over the top.

There's an announcement on www.qtel.com.qa about the unlimited option.

I may get one, it feels like it's worth having.. Imagine, working internet (DSL speed, no usage limits) in your car, in the park, wherever you go...

I heard that recently Qtel launched a new usb modem= with unlimited download access for 400 QR. is that right?

I called their helpline today and they quoted 199 for the usb modem. Has the price really come down (799 in Oct08?) or is it a different thing

I used it for 6 months or so on site in Messaid. It works fine, but it ain't cheap!

Did you Google it first?

I have been looking that 3g modem for 2 months in Qatar but unfortunately i couldn't find. I have visited the all Qtel branches. It is still not available!!

So, i do want to purchase. Does anybody know that how can i find it? or is there another option like using of another trademark (ie.sony or vodofone)? then i can purchase only sim card from Qtel.

if another trademark is available, please let me know where i can find it!

Thanks in advance for your helps...

i have it working on leopard and on tiger, i got a program called cheetahWatch so that i can track how many gigs i have downloaded, i got the 300 ryal plan (5 gigs), if you go over your limit, they do not disconnect you, they simply charge you 1 ryal per mb, thats 1000 ryal for one gig.....so do NOT go over the limit...but speeds are 200 KB/s download and so far it is working perfectly....prety impressed by it actualy...pm me if you need any more details, i have been using it for 2 weeks on both apple computers and the xp part on my macbook pro and i have had no complaints

Hass the system works fine with Mac. All info is available on Qtel site please go through it. I have cut -n - pasted the info you wanted below.

5. Will Mobile Broadband work when I am abroad?

Yes, in countries where Qtel has a HSDPA/3G data roaming agreement. However, while roaming you will be charged data roaming charges and consumption will not be deducted from your monthly Data Allowance.

Please click here for list of agreements and charges.

Cheers for the links, qat, have you tried out the service? Does it work smoothly with your mac?

 

And it will work abroad, right?

A USB Modem where you install the sim is included in the package provided. It works fine on all platforms. Mac users need to download the driver from QTEL site.HTH -

Does it work with any modem? If so, d'you get the kit to connect the modem to the SIM card? Also, I know the ads I see on the roads feature a macbook, but I just want to be sure - will it work with Apple's babes? I can't find anything in Q-tel's website.

Got one two weeks ago, 5 mins to install, works perfectly

 

Surely can't be supplied by Qtel?
