8Mb Internet connection in Jordan! is it a dream?

Filed under: Life, Technology — Tags: , , — Kamel Al-Asmar @ 3:39 pm

Yesterday I received a message from Zain that I never expect to get anytime soon. Finally Zain ADSL is the first ISP that provide broadband internet connection up to 8M of speed.

Directly I called the customer service center of Zain to get more information, and I figured out that they provide the service with 4, 6 and 8Mb. I asked about the prices of the service which are less than getting the connection for 2Mb. Do you know why? you don’t have to pay anything to Orange (Jordan Telecom Group) now to get the service. We will only pay for Zain as an ISP without any monthly payment to Orange. The installation fees are 70JDs for those who don’t have an internet connection already and they are offering the service with free installation until the end of this month.

The dream doesn’t stop there, Zain will be providing WiMAX service in Jordan with the same speed. But still they don’t have the small modem that we have seen in more than one TV ad for more than one country in the Arab World since 2 years.

I wish that Zain will not work under the umbrella of Orange anymore to provide the internet connection as we were really suffering especially for the last 2 weeks.

In the newspapers today, I saw promotions for both Orange and Zain about this amazing new service that came out of the blue.
