I was in Saudi recently and they started offering Orbit Internet- DSL, very fast connection, the works. Is there Orbit ISP in Oman? Or any other DSL providers? Reply will be appreciated. |

Omantel was the only one offering it in Salalah. It was offered when I left in 2003. Muscat has had it for a year or so before then. I now understand there are other telecom providers in Oman, but very favorable government licensing rates are offered to Omantel, so prices won't necessarily go down with competition. I think the other provider is either SSB or Jawad [of Mustapha-Jawad fame]. Orbit is usually found as a satelite programming service provider in Oman. |

Did you actually find out how well the Orbit connection works? They'll never put DSL at my exchange, so I'm interested, but am reluctant to be the guinea pig. |
