Ooredoo has announced the launch of its new 'Home Internet' plans, a new line-up of "ultra-fast Home Broadband offerings catering to all households - from small to large dwellings".

This will make home Internet speeds up to five times faster at no extra charge, the company has said in a statement.

The launch of the five superior new Home Internet plans is "underpinned by Ooredoo’s continued commitment to and investment in the country’s only nationwide fibre infrastructure, which will continue to deliver for the future outstanding world-class unlimited broadband to homes in Qatar at speeds of up to 10Gbps, together with the best-in-class TV entertainment unmatched across Qatar and the rest of the GCC", the statement notes.

As of today, 99% of all homes in Qatar can access these new plans and Ooredoo has announced that all existing Ooredoo Fibre Home customers have already been upgraded to the new plans delivering up to five times more speed for no extra cost.

"Customers now have the opportunity to 'onboard' for as little as QR300 monthly on the entry plan and enjoy 50Mbps Home Internet together with Qatar’s best-in-class Ooredoo TV and up to 10Gbps for our premium top-end offering," Ooredoo said.

Customers selecting 150Mbps, 500Mbps, 1Gbps and 10Gbps Home Internet plans will get access to a premium package of sports and entertainment, while all plans automatically include subscription to the StarzPlay on-demand channel.

All plans come with "best-in-class Wi-Fi, ensuring that all household members enjoy the best of the Internet and our great TV", it adds.

Manar Khalifa al-Muraikhi, director of PR and Corporate Communications at Ooredoo, said of the new service: “We’re constantly looking for ways to improve the experience we offer our customers and these new Home Internet plans represent the best of our fibre services. We’re immensely proud to be able to offer speeds of up to 10Gbps with Ooredoo Supernet, something only a few countries around the world can do, and being able to provide super-fast internet speeds fits perfectly with our vision of improving people’s digital lives.”

On the free Internet speed boost, she added: “We are pleased to give our existing customers a free and automatic upgrade to the new plans so that they enjoy faster Internet speeds at no additional cost, as an expression of our gratitude and appreciation and as a reward for their loyalty. As we’ve mentioned on previous occasions, the satisfaction of our customers is our top priority, and we hope they will enjoy these amazing new speeds.”

Customers on Fibre Home Broadband plans were already upgraded automatically on February 26. Those on other Fibre Home plans will be contacted to migrate to the new Home Internet plans.
