A new super-fast 2Mbps package at BD60/month will be launched soon for a heavy Broadband users with a huge threshold of 20GB. Usage above the designated 20GB threshold will be charged 10fils/MB.

huge, my arse.. That's quite an amateurish advertising technique, btw.. One does not use words such as 'huge', 'enormous', etc, especially when they full bloody well know that their target audience isn't as dumb as they think we are.. :irritated

Now is it just me, or are we being totally robbed blind? BD 60=150$, btw..

That's robbery

Interesting choice of words indeed, like people would really buy that 2mbps is "super fast".

Well, when you've been depriving people for so long, yeah, it really does seem fast :groan:

Oh, and they claim that they're doing all of this because:
"And finally, we must stress to you that these changes come as a direct result of Batelco’s commitment in providing the best quality of service to its customers, providing them with faster, easier and the best value-for-money packages to access the Internet and connect to the world."

Oh, of course.. Severely butchering our internet and deceivingly raising prices is for our good! How silly of me
...it's not as if this is a cost issue for them, either.. they make net profits in the millions..
