Hi, Can anyone advise on broadband, high-speed Internet access services in Kuwait?
I'm looking for ADSL or cable with good reliability and unlimited downloads.
Which service providers would you recommend? What's the monthly cost likely to be?
TIA

You are not going to get the speeds that you see in the US, Canada or Europe but they can be OK.
I have a 3mbps connection over optical fibre. It is unlimited downloads. The annual cost is KD225 so about US65 per month.
In 3 years no downtime as they have a dual link to the backbone in and out of Kuwait.
oh. Its Fastelco.

So there is a couple of options depending on where you live. I live in Kuwait City now and just recently got a mobile hotspot with 30 gig a month. I am waiting for my full visa to finish and once I do I am looking at the Zain Wifi Router which runs off the 4g LTE network and does all that I need with a 300 gig limit if you get the premium plan.
I have already seen 16 Mbit down and approximately the same with the system I currently have. One of my coworkers who has been here longer than me has said he has seen 30 Mbit. So there is several options.
Mark I was looking at Fastelco but I didn't see an annual plan like that. Can you link your plan with them?
