Connection works at good speed but latency and their phone line entirely sucks. Have lodged a complaint since last 10 days. Let’s see what happens. My advice, stay away from mena if latency has the slightest bit of business with ur work :/
VoIP, gaming all dead……. and with a measely 6GB limit for BD17 (Rental for net 13BD + Wi-Fi CPE rental 4BD) @1MBps downloading also dead, this is the worse the things can get.

Worst , Most Unstable Connection I ever Used EVER ! … really 5000 ms to google ? while it should be 150/130ms , i was more Happy with Zain (150ms to germany and about 60 to Kuwait) but they take 1GB each day even without downloading a single thing after that my bandwidth is gone i get like 10kb/per sec and even 1kb but the ping didnt change at all .

well i tried all connections in bahrain and sorry to say, all SUCKS. not a single proper Ping (Batelco is 140ms, Mena is 165Ms)
being in the gaming industry this typ of connection doesn’t even worth paying a single USD for. unless ur ping is 20 or less better stay away from online gaming.
The only solution I think since no fiber is available will be a point to point wimax solution. Similier to the one that ITC in Saudi is providing…. If anyone know of such provider
In bahrain please link me to them.

cheers

Hi!
I’m using O-Net but planning to switch over to fixed line as it cost a lot in long run.
When I was going through Mena telcom site they claimed about some Comms MEA 2009 award when I searched about it I found apart from best ISP provider for 2009 which Mena got Zain also bagged Telecoms Technology Investment of the Year award -Middle East’s first LTE (Long Term Evolution) network.

I’m wondering how this will help them as there is no change in their hardware only they upgraded software.
Please any one suggest me some better ISP provider which is economical and provides good speed.

Can any one give me a clue what is the upload and download speed for Zain and Mena packages which are around 10BD.

@Deepika http://www.zainals.com/blog/bahrain/zain-bahrain-customer-care/

the competition is good but lately there is not comparison and no doubt that Batelco are getting their customer back from Zain as they keep on screwing up.

Hi,

Can anybody explain why is no body talking about Zain wimax services…they seem to have given good competition to batelco in mobile services, but they seem to have lost wimax race to mena telecom….

Hamood

Since I work for Batelco I got the 4 Mbps for 30 BD, why did you have to go for Mena? A good wifi router can cover the entire house. Unless you think Batelco sucks..
