Hello,

Just reporting back to say that my problem was fixed after I’ve sent an email to Batelco. It got resolved in less than 6 hours, which actually surprised me hahahahaha.

More on topic: I hope the prices get reduced for the packages. My old man is not ready to pay more than 25BD a month for inet, so I guess I’ll be sticking with an 1mb line for quite a while. O well…..

switch off and on your router, if that doesn’t fix it, give them a call.

It says in batelco e-services that I was upgraded from 512 to 1mb connection. But my downloads still cap at 45-50KB/s. Anyone has any idea what’s wrong here?

Adel if the contracts were reasonable and don’t lock people in for 12 to 18 months, I would say go with anyone. But as these contracts are locked, I’d say that the freeest of the lot is Batelco even though I hate to admit it. Yes they would penalise you with connection/disconnection charges, but at least they would let you go easily.

Its just ridiculous to charge people while the line is disconnected. Try complaining to the TRA regarding your issue with Zain. I’m pretty sure you are not the only one complaining. They really need to focus on their network issues instead of spending most of their money on marketing their services. At the end of the day, if customers aren’t happy with their services, people will switch; here comes the 18-month contract bit, talk about really unhappy customers.

Zain! Handle Billing! Ha, you’re so right they need to learn how to handle billing, When I first signed up with them I got a massive bill claiming I used 40 GBs one month and that I asked for unlimited download with the subsequent charges when I signed. Now I’m locked into a contract, I refuse to pay for this 40 BD I am told I downloaded and in the meanwhile they continue to charge me my monthly subscription even though they cut me off months ago. That’s when the can bother to send me a bill to tell me. As for letting me know I’d reaching my limit 30GBs back, did I get an sms?, could I check online? Hell no.
