If you have a 1MB ADSL connection what speed should you get?
My
download speed is 1066kbps
upload speed is 130kbps........(very slow)

Can you check yours and tell me what you get before i call qtel.

Even if you have more than 1MB connection please do the test i might use it for comparison. Thanks.

You can check your speed by going to speedtest.qa

Upload speed may vary from 4% to 15% of your download speed. Then again we don't know if Qtel is using traffic shaping for uploads.

I had the same concern as you and just upgraded to the 2Mb connection. I'm not happy about paying 300 QAR per month, but I am happier with the connection.

I suppose you could call and ask if they'll upgrade your upload for free, but I doubt they will. Also, don't be surprised if the person you call doesn't have any idea what you're talking about... and it will probably be a waste of your time to try and find someone who does.

so there is no need to call qtel then?

i am happy with the download speed, its enough for whatever i want to do, but uploading a video or even attaching a file is a pain.

will qtel increase my upload speed with my current 1MB connection?

The speeds you posted are correct for 1Mb ADSL here. Sadly, the upload really is that slow. If you upgrade to 2Mb both your upload and download should double.

Can you try speedtest.net if the qtel one is not consistent.
