Unfortunately until now the problem has not been resolved. I had to go home, and to Zain (which is soon to be disconnected!) to send my emails!</description>

check the &quot;PING&quot;, testing on a local server having a ping of 320 = 50 mi. wow. this is a lot of lag in a game. im in a manama district. im wondering if pings in other places like adliya or salmaniya has a lower ping. plz give me ur comments on this</description>

		<description>Hehe 

I think u reach the situation that I have reached when I used zain &amp; light speed

Zain Call Center:
They told me we supply everything and our router is wireless but when I received it. It took them a day to reply back to me that I have to buy an B.D 40 Access point to have a WiFi at my home

Light Speed:

It took them a week to reply with stupidity that their Fair Usage policy applied to there new unlimited package is something the customer can&#039;t know and it will be applied if I exceeds the normal usage which also I can not know and which made it worse even that the reply that I received was from a top manager not from the supervisor that is on the call center cz their call center was outsourced 

Hehhhehehehe

Where is the TRA we need speeds and usage just like the gulf countries</description>

Batelco is the best only &quot; In Relative way&quot;
They are all shit.
see guys one to this:
When U call some service Provider.
1)Get the Name and Title of person that will lie to you latter.
2) Ask Him / Her if they are authorized to talk to to customers.
3) Say Your story (Most Likely for the 10 th time)
4) If he Lies again...Stay calmed
5) get his email.
here is what do with the rest

Email Everyone in the company Including himself
about his lies
Hold him responsible for what he / she said.
Email his name to Zain Batelco...+ all other Momboos

By Coping and pasting...
try this... 
Paste Like this Into TO: (For email)

		<description>Hey dude what speed did u got while doing the test on batelco website ; cz I am using 2M batelco and according to the ratio to compile transfer rate to the actual bandwidth it is more than enough 
  
Transfer rate=bandwidth (1-15%) / 8

It is much better than my cousin whose next to my house with Zain and rarely get a transfer rate of 1M. 

I am not saying that Batelco is woooooow but they are the best</description>

I think u Work for batelco or own shares.
Why would Bahrain Sites matter most?...they are Mamboo stuff that Non Cares about.

This is what happened a year ago...Maybe it was you!

Batelco lies about the internet speed

Check this case:

I called Batelco inet serivce and I talked to one the seniors in Customer relations.

I asked him if the speed is slow with adsl 40 BD one.

he said, no.

I said I tested the speed on several speed check sites and all are saying very slow.

He said you check with our site for speed.

I said I already did do that and said that the speed is Perfect.

He said what it is.

I said how come all the other sites say it&#039;s slow.

he Said &quot;we&quot; don&#039;t support these sites. (What does that mean?)

...so I said ...If I buy 1 KG of Fish from the market for 2.00 BD.

and I go home and weigh it and say 1/2 KG....I then go Mr. Friend...and weigh there and Says 1/2 KG....

Then I do the same for 5 others...all saying 1/2 KG.

He said...That is not under our &quot;Procedure&quot;....

I said I do not care about your procedure...I want my money&#039;s worth of the INET speed.

He kept going back to the site of Batelco....I said I do not care for that either.

He then needed time to think on what to say.

Came back and repeated more shit to me...

I said...OK do you give me speed? He said Yes.

 said....What is the...he said 1 MGBS for download.

I said OK...does make a difference from USA or UK or Japan...etc...

he said Yes...I said would be slower...He said Yes.

I said OK...where will get the speed of 1 MGPS from?

He said...Bahrain.

I said OK...let do the test...

IF I upload 60 MG into Batelco Host.

And Download it...Should it take 1 Minute?

60 MG/60 Sec = 1 MBPS...Right?

he said yes...

I said let do it at your office in Batelco any time you like...I have space in a Host in  Batelco servers.

He refused and accused me for &quot;NOT Cooperating&quot;...(?????!!!)...Hello???...what the hell is this?

Liers!!!!!</description>

		<description>My experience with Zain is unfortunatly is a disaster. i subscribed Zain e-go 7 months back anf in the first three months it was working perfectly in Salmaniya area. Then it starts misbehaving.I cant download or uplad anything, end the line got disconnceted in every 4 min. After a number of call i spoke one of the supervisor who admitted that they have problem in Salmaniya area, but no action is been taken. Now i swited back to Batelco and atleast i can send emails now. Thank betelco!</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t mean to rub it in but Oman&#039;s ISP &#039;Omantel&#039; are launching (or have launched?) their ADSL2+ services this month... in a word? Wow!  :grin: 

Residential offering:

1Mbps &#124; 18BD/month
2Mbps &#124; 28BD/month
4Mbps &#124; 38BD/month
8Mbps &#124; 96BD/month

Business offering:

1, 2, 4, 8, and &lt;strong&gt;16Mbps&lt;/strong&gt; which will cost you 347BD/month... which by our standards is pretty cheap considering the only high speed business package here (Zain@work) will set you back a cool 400BD/month for 4Mbps.

Affordable broadband = good Global Peace Index ranking  :lol:</description>
