Worrying thing

I've been away for almost 3 years now, visiting Kuwait almost 2 months a year. For all that time The Prices of DSL internet access in Kuwait haven't drop an inch!!!! Last time I was around FastTelco were having a campaign for a subscription of around 300 KD for a year of 256K access!!! Absurd

In the UK now, 512K access is OBSELETE... lowest broadband access now is 1MB for around £18 (9KD/month), actually my broadband access is up to 8MB (with an average access speed of 5MB) costs £30/month (15KD)!!!!!

I think we are being robbed in Kuwait, the problem that there is no mention about it, even though we have to main ISPs but I believe they've been trying to maintain the high prices for their benefit.. shouldn't competition drive the prices down!!?? I believe now it's the role of the government and the national assembly to intervene to take Kuwait into the new digital age!! It is unbelievable that still in Kuwait people using Dial-up!!!

I would suggest an awareness campaign and get some influential people, Thinkers, Politicians, Acedemics to pressure the concerned parties to get their act together and be reasonable.

Looking forward to your opinions
