Nawras Introduces Oman’s Fastest Mobile Internet Speed Of Up To 7.2mb/S

Nawras is thrilled to have launched the fastest mobile Broadband Internet service in Oman today by introducing the Platinum Plan giving downlink speeds of up to 7.2Mb/s for only RO99 per month including 30GB of free data usage. Designed to serve the needs of business customers and heavy internet users within the growing 3G+ network coverage, the fastest speed in the Sultanate is available today within just hours of customers visiting any Nawras Store.

“We know many business customers have been eagerly awaiting this day and will warmly welcome the introduction of the fastest mobile internet solution in Oman. With download speeds being up to seven times faster than currently available coupled with the fact that there are no waiting lists at Nawras, customers can reap the benefits of this service being not only fast to use but fast to get started too,” said Hussain Al-Lawati, Nawras Head of Direct Sales. “

Putting this fast speed into context, Al-Lawati gave some examples of the difference in experience that customers can now expect with the new Platinum Plan. He explained that when downloading an average Mp3 file with a size of 5MB at a speed of 1Mbps it would take 40 seconds and incredibly, Platinum Plan customers can expect to complete the same task in as little as 5.71 seconds, using a speed of 7Mbps. When sending or receiving a 400 KB text email with a PDF or PowerPoint file attachment, transmission time drops from 3.2 seconds at 1Mbps to around 0.46 seconds at 7Mbps with the Platinum Plan.

He went on to say that a huge difference can be seen when browsing the internet or downloading video too. Al-Lawati pointed out that customers do need to be in the 3G+ coverage areas to benefit from this high speed internet service and speeds can sometimes vary when many Nawras Internet users are active in the same area at the same time.

Nawras 3G+ Network currently covers the main areas of the key cities of Muscat, Nizwa, Sur, Salalah and Sohar with the network being quickly expanded to cover the rest of the Sultanate. Customers can visit their local Nawras Store, purchase a plug and play E220 modem, select the Platinum Plan and be up and running as soon as their Nawras SIM-card has been activated. It is very easy to get started and customers will find it extremely economical making it the ideal choice for businesses as well as those working from a home office, using E-Business or downloading a lot of files.

The Platinum Plan is the latest price plan from this award-winning operator. Nawras also provides a Silver Plan giving 1GB free data usage for RO19 and Gold Plan giving 10GB of free data usage for RO29, both based on a speed of up to 1 Megabit per second. Full details of all Nawras Broadband Internet plans can be found by visiting the website at www. nawras.om or any Nawras Store where friendly professionals are always happy to help customers make the most appropriate choice for their particular internet usage pattern.

Nawras currently covers 96% of the population with its reliable world-class network, using national roaming where necessary and always with Nawras great value.
