Saudi.net is a big thief DSL service is poor come on it is far from poor….
Saudi DSL total nightmare they just keep crowding the lines and getting more income and they don’t wanna expand there lines or they r expanding very slowly and one time a Tec from there side said while in an aggressive conversation between me and him:
WHAT CAN I DO YOU KEEP PAYING FOR THIS SERVICE AND THEY KEEP PUTTING MADE IN CHINA BOARDS.
bad points:
1-bad ping
2-many d/c
3-speed changes
4-it takes forever 30min to 50min for someone to answer.
5- who answer the phone got less then average knowledge about dsl.
good points:
1- they give you the dsl line as fast as they can. more crowd less service slower connection like they care as you said total monopoly..

Well I played with 3.5G (STC and Mobily) and then found WiMax service from http://www.wi-max.com.sa
The only issue is that you need to be sure where you are located in relation to their base station and you can check this out on the website above. I have a 1Mbps connection and because I am at the fringes of their coverage area, my download is about 1Mbps while my upload is about 100Kbps.
The company is called Banayat Al-Oula and they were bought out by Mobily. Mobily is now selling their packages from the Mobily website and have a Ramadan offer.

STC support sucks big time , i have fallen sleep many times by listening to recording advertisement msgs while waiting for 20 mins after that line drops itself.
i have memorized what options to dial to get to support msgs , dial 907 than wait … hit 2 - 3 - 2 - 5 … bingo ur in a endless hopeless waiting list… if by mistake u call on some sensible hour of day it gona say sorry we are busy in serving other customer as u called on peak time we suggest call another time or go to website and check things..
first they blamed my modem i took it for health check and guess what it worked over thre at technical checkup place in first attempt :s.. THIS PART OF WORLD DONT KNOW WHAT SUPPORT SERVICE MEANS….. or After sales support !!!!!!
