  • WIFI

    I don't think that this service is very common in Oman. However, you can go to any internet cafe and use the internet. It is not really expensive. If you get the caple internet service, that's will be better. It is not expensive.

  • ADSL connections are available

    ADSL connections with 1 MBps speed are available in Oman. But its very expensive comparing to broadband connections available in Asian countries like India .

    Wifi is not very common in Oman.

  • WiFi

    I've been in Oman three years now. I use broadband wherever I go using my Nawras wireless connection. It isn't cheap but it's so convenient. The modem costs 60RO initially and I pay 29RO monthly for my service (there are cheaper packages but I use it a lot). But it's worth it for my Internet. It's fast. WiFi is available all over the place--at my place of employment, every coffeeshop imaginable, you name it. Oman has been behind the times, but it's trying. For a developing country, it deserves some credit. As far as ADSL is concerned, the waiting list is long. This is because of the number of expats here demanding it. If you request it during the summer, you have a better chance of getting it (when expats are on holiday).
    Just some friendly advice.

  • INTERNET

    DEAR ALL,

    The best option for internet is to take an Omantel landline connection during Muscat festival, where they offer 12month connection for just 37 RO.

    U can then use Al-ufooq prepaid internet card every month acc to ur needs. Al-ufooq cards come in a range of 6 R.O-FOR 20 hrs usage & 10 R.O for 41 hrs usage.
