Ooredoo has 150,000 customers for Fibre Broadband, Mozaic
Ooredoo has reached a “milestone” of providing ‘Fibre Broadband’ and ‘Mozaic TV’ services to more than 150,000 customers across Qatar. |
This comes just six months after the company celebrated connecting 100,000 customers, demonstrating Qatar’s demand for home entertainment and high-speed broadband connection options.
It also comes just a month after Ooredoo became the only provider of voice, broadband and TV services at The Pearl.

Ooredoo director (community & public relations) Fatima Sultan al-Kuwari said: “We believe that Internet should be available for all, which is why we have worked tirelessly to roll-out the best and most advanced network throughout Qatar. Today’s announcement shows that ultra-fast broadband isn’t just the domain of large businesses any more, with consumers now demanding high speed and quality.”
Ooredoo Fibre packages start at QR 250 a month, which include a landline, broadband and Mozaic HD TV subscription.
Ooredoo’s research has shown that much of the customer growth is due to the free upgrades from ADSL to Fibre. Customers can upgrade by simply calling Ooredoo on 181 and booking an installation.
As well as improving Internet speeds, Ooredoo Fibre is helping evolve entertainment services in Qatar. Only Ooredoo Fibre customers can access ‘Next Generation Mozaic TV’, which includes hundreds of live channels in high definition and the ability to pause, rewind and record television.
Next Generation Mozaic TV subscribers also get access to ‘Mozaic GO’, Ooredoo’s entertainment service that works seamlessly across Qatar via WiFi and Ooredoo’s superfast 4G network.
Ooredoo plans to create more tailor made packages for customers in 2014, to help contribute to the growth of the knowledge-based economy in line with Qatar’s 2030 National Vision.
In addition to expanding the network across Qatar, Ooredoo is planning a sizeable infrastructure investment and capacity-building programme in the lead-up to the FIFA World Cup 2022.
