The reason people criticise Qtel is that they offer a poor service and there is no alternative supplier.
In the UK, BT offer unlimited usage of an 8mbps broadband connection for 100 QR/month [source]. Qtel's base package costs twice that and offers a fraction of the speed [source].
You might say: "Well that's just the UK; they are obviously going to be cheaper." But I can't see why. There doesn't seem any solid reason why Qtel costs more, and offers less. Well, there are a couple of cynical reasons I might suggest: that they are scalping customers to exploit their dominant market position, and that they have underinvested for a decade in capacity building.
