I find this sort of retarded, in Europe you can get 80mbps same cost as the dial up over here O.o -.-!!!! Kuwait has lots of oil... they should build carbon fiber in most of the houses in Kuwait. Kuwait should be as advanced as UAE Hi, i just wanted to say that overall Kuwait’s internet Speed is very very very crap and its very expensive.

Here's my situation: DSL with Paradyne dosn't work at 512k, slower than Dial-up at 256k. Qualitynet support blames it on the bad wiring of the block, refuse to do anything and denied me the refund to cancel the service. In short, a big 'Screw-you, we got your money and thats what we care about'. Wataniya W-net. Very bad coverage in block 12, confirming our block's net-curse. Have not yet attempted to complain or demand for refund, but i bet I'll hear the same answer as Qnet.

I'm pretty new to Kuwait and I noticed the internet speed isn't that great for much, I've been trying to play a few online games during my spare time, it's laggy and only sometimes I'm even able to play, the problem is the upload is pretty crappy. Does anyone know if any company or any service that offers a decent upload speed? Thanks for the post very informative.

Will the Wataniya USB card work for VOIP and webcam? Is it better to wait and try DSL from phone? Who would that be. MTC e-go card is quite slow in this area and seems everyone is completely against using Showtime. Also, is there a firewall built into this card or is it basically an unsecured network?
