Ooredoo's Fibre Services Offer to Biz Customers

Ooredoo on Saturday expanded its fibre broadband services to business customers by offering faster speeds at lower prices. 

"In line with the Qatar National Vision 2030, broadband can drive the digital economy and transform industry verticals such as government, banking, healthcare and education," said Waleed al Sayed, CEO of Ooredoo Qatar.

Qatar's national digital transformation, led by connecting businesses to broadband, could add $8 billion in GDP by 2020, he said, while re-launching the company's business broadband services.

Investment in broadband technologies and developing digital skills could increase Qatar's GDP by $7.8 billion by 2020, Waleed said referring to a recent report by Accenture.

"While small businesses are major economic drivers and job creators in Qatar, only about half are connected to fixed broadband with speeds of more than 10 Mbps,"he said, pointing out to a recent report by Qatar's Ministry of Transport and Communications.

Customers can choose from four different plans, starting at 15 Mbps for a monthly fee of QR699, with the fastest speed plan of 300 Mbps for a monthly fee of QR2,199.

Business customers can also receive digital services add-ons to enhance productivity and efficiency, including Office 365, a free domain name and free web space.
