I have been dreaming to have a 2nd landline provider available locally so that I can switch from STC. It's been rumoured since some time that they are coming.
The rumour mill is now on high pitch and I wish my wishes will be fulfilled soon!
The reason why I want to try something other than STC: I feel their land line billing is not quite transparent. When things don't work the way it should irrespective of whatever we do, we tend to do some trial and error experiment. Trying a different provider is likewise.
I heard initially the offer is for WiMax for 2024/- per year with charges as under with an extra year as promotion! That makes the monthly WiMax bill to somewhat a reasonable SR 85/- SR 119/- (I wish it to come down to SR 30/- someday!)
