Ooredoo has launched a real-time online fibre availability map, allowing customers to track the rollout progress of Qatar’s fastest broadband network, the company has said in a statement.
The map, which has already gone live on Ooredoo’s website, allows customers to find out whether they qualify to upgrade their service by checking if they reside in a fibre-ready “Green” area.
Current Ooredoo customers living within a “Green” area can request for a free upgrade to Fibre Internet with Ooredoo’s three easy steps.
Firstly, customers can check whether they reside within a fibre-available “Green” area by visiting www.ooredoo.qa/en/fibre and clicking on the “Getting Connected” link.
Secondly, all customers living in fibre-available areas should call the Ooredoo Fibre Team on 181 and request an appointment for installation.
The last step is a visit by the installation team on the appointment date to connect the premises to the Ooredoo Fibre network.
Mozaic TV customers who upgrade to the fibre network will receive the Next Generation Mozaic TV service, which allows them to access the Video-On-Demand service as well as play, pause or rewind television features, and much more.
Fibre packages start at QR233 for Home Broadband and Voice services.
Customers will be able to download content, games and music faster than before from their favourite online services.
Customers who want the fastest Internet speeds – the 100Mbps plan – can choose the service for QR650 per month, the statement says.
After a year of installation and development, the service is available for customers across Doha, with ongoing work to extend the service to users around the country in the months ahead.
Since 2012, the commercial rollout of Ooredoo Fibre has passed more than 195,000 homes and connected more than 85,000 homes.
Qatar has had the fastest fibre network rollout in the world, according to a report by global management consulting firm Arthur D Little.
Full details of all plans, pricing and offers are available on www.ooredoo.qa/fibre along with the fibre availability map.
