Home Broadband Packages Offering Speeds Up-to 200 Mbps by Omantel

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 08 Oct 2017 09:52:00 +0000

Omantel, the Sultanate’s most trusted telecoms provider has announced a complete upgrade of its range of Home Broadband packages. The new packages offer blistering fast connection speeds of up to 200 Megabits per second (Mbps) all at a lower price point, giving customers great value while making online gaming, video streaming and downloading more affordable for all segments of society. The home broadband revamp is central to Omantel’s 3.0 transformation plan which firmly positions the Company as the Sultanate’s digital partner of choice, driving Oman to become a truly connected society where every individual and industry is empowered to reach their potential. Commenting on the launch of the revamped Home Broadband packages, Haitham Al Kharusi, Vice President of Consumer noted, “At Omantel, we’re absolutely committed to enriching the experience of our customers; offering them the widest broadband national coverage and faster possible data speeds across the Sultanate. This was the primary ideology that drove the complete revamp of our home broadband packages.” The revamped Omantel Home Broadband packages are split into two categories – Ultra-Fast Home Broadband and Home Broadband. The former is the default offer for areas with ‘Fibre to the Home’ (FTTH) or ‘Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line’ (VDSL) coverage, while the latter will cater to areas with normal DSL coverage. A fixed line subscription is included with all packages with the majority of plans offering free fixed on-net minutes and generous discounts on international calls. As with previous Omantel home broadband plans, a free or subsidized modem is supplied to all customers in return for a term commitment. The Ultra-Fast Home Broadband range of plans start from Home Broadband Premium S and move up to Premium M, Premium L and Premium XL; each of which have no data limits but will have distinctly different upload and download speeds. The Premium S connection will include download speeds of up to 20 Mbps, upload speeds of up to 5Mbps and 500 Free Fixed On-Net Minutes. The Premium M connection increases the download speed up to 40 Mbps, upload speed up to 10 Mbps and will offer 1,000 Free Fixed On-Net Minutes. The Premium L connection takes the download speeds up to 80 Mbps, upload speeds up to 20Mbps and will offer 1,500 Free Fixed On-Net Minutes. Meanwhile, the final Premium XL connection will offer the fastest available data speeds with download speeds of up to 200 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 50 Mbps. Subscribers to Ultra-Fast Home Broadband also benefit from unlimited Free Fixed On-Net Minutes and will receive generous discounts on international calls ranging from 15% to 30% depending on the chosen plan. The Premium S, Premium M, Premium L and Premium XL connections will be priced at a fixed OMR 30, OMR 35, OMR 45 and OMR 80 per month respectively (not including additional costs for fixed on-net calls over and above the allocated free limit). Meanwhile, the Home Broadband range of value packages comprise four separate plans starting with the Home Broadband Basic, offering speeds of up to 4Mbps and 20GB of free data, and moving up to Home Broadband Unlimited S, Unlimited M and Unlimited L; each of which have no data limit and offer speeds of up to 4Mbps, 8Mbps and 16Mbps respectively. All four plans have their upload limits capped at 1Mbps. The latter three plans will also offer free fixed on-net minutes ranging from 250 to 1,000 minutes as well as discounts on international calls ranging from 5% to 20%. Value prices for Home Broadband start from only OMR 15 per month for the Basic connection, with an additional OMR 1 for every multiple of 1GB over the 20GB limit. The Unlimited S, Unlimited M and Unlimited L connections are priced at a fixed OMR 20, OMR 25 and OMR 28 per month respectively.

Qtel Announces Management Changes to Drive Growth in Qatar and Internationally

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 21:58:00 +0000

Qatar Telecom (“Qtel” or “The Qtel Group”) Q.S.C. announced a number of senior management changes following a Board Meeting that was held today.

Commenting on the management changes, H.E. Sheikh Abdullah Bin Mohammed Bin Saud Al Thani, Chairman of Qtel Group, said: “The Qtel Group continues to drive toward our ambitious goals for growth, and ensuring that our management team is among the strongest in the region will help us achieve this vision. Today’s appointments will enhance the foundations for growth across our international markets, while at the same time maintaining and building upon our leadership position in our home market of Qatar.”

In the management changes announced today, Dr. Nasser Marafih, who was Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Qtel Qatar, is now CEO of the Qtel Group, with responsibility for driving efficiencies and growth across all the Group companies.

The role marks another significant responsibility for Dr. Nasser, who began his career at Qtel in 1992 as Expert Advisor from the University of Qatar, and was seconded to the organisation as Strategic Planning and Development Manager in 1994.

Since becoming CEO in 2002, Dr. Nasser has led Qtel from strength to strength, successfully guiding it through its transformation program and the restructuring of the company in Qatar and across the region. During Qtel’s robust international expansion, Dr. Nasser has held the dual roles of Qtel Qatar CEO and Qtel Group CEO – today’s announcement will enable him to focus on the key Group responsibilities that will drive long-term growth for the whole business.

H.E. Sheikh Abdullah Bin Mohammed Bin Saud Al Thani said: “I would like to pay tribute to Dr. Nasser, who has been one of the most influential individuals in the development of the communications technology sector in Qatar, and who now plays a critically-important role in leading the Qtel Group’s global growth.”

Taking on the role of CEO of Qtel Qatar will be Sheikh Saud Bin Nasser Al Thani, who was previously Executive Director of HR and General Services. Sheikh Saud Bin Nasser Al Thani joined Qtel in 1990, and, over the course of 21 years at the company, has gained a wide range of experience and knowledge across the business. In his new role, he will direct operations throughout Qatar.

Sheikh Saud has handled key projects like the restructuring of the organisation in 1998, the structure review in 2000 and the job evaluation and compensation review with Qtel’s auditors KPMG.

Sheikh Saud also sits on the Board of Nawras on Oman, which is part of the Qtel Group, in addition to playing a key role on a number of management and audit committees within Qtel Qatar. Through his dual portfolio of HR and General Services, Sheikh Saud has developed a comprehensive understanding of the Qtel business in Qatar, and has played a key role in developing new processes for growth, Qatarisation and human development.

Waleed Al-Sayed, formerly Executive Director of Customer Services, was named as the new Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Qtel Qatar. Joining the company in 1987, Waleed Al-Sayed has held senior roles across Sales, Marketing, Project Management, Business Solutions, Communication and Customer Services within Qtel.

In 2006, he was appointed as Executive Director, Customer Services to establish the superior customer experience, where he led an exercise to transform the retail environment to better engage customers. In 2010, Waleed led the Qtel team to win the highest tally of honours at Contact Centre World Awards in the United Kingdom and the Contact Centre World Awards in United States of America.

Nick Dent, formerly COO of Qtel Qatar, will work with Waleed Al-Sayed on the transfer process, before moving to a new role within the Qtel Group.
