o All, I have recently moved to the Mint/Mango area and am looking for internet options. I am having issues streaming tv and a recent speed test gave very poor results (<1Mb up and down). Also I find issues at different times of the day with speeds. Sometimes its ok and sometimes its not. I am looking for an alternative solution to Aramco's ADSL connection. Does anyone have any advice on STC,Zain,Mobily or anything else I could do to improve speeds. I have thought it might be a router issue and am considering replacing the DLink router that was supplied. Any ideas or experiences you could share. Looking for some direction Thanks CS

Hi Steve,
We just got an STC 4G router. 10 down 1 up by the middle school. SAR650 for the hardware and 3 months unlimited internet. Each 3 months after that is SAR 300.

I have the same STC 4G router and am located a stones throw from the mini-mart
More than able to live stream from the UK (BBC iPlayer and Sky Go) - very usable. The only issue with STC on the unlimited plan is that once you go over 2Gb in any one day they cap you at 128Kb/sec.. Still usable but get occasional bit of buffering..

Great and thanks BS and DT. The speed of the Aramco connection has issues thats for sure. I imagine that you were having similar issues as I and that is why you were seeking alternatives.
Thanks again.
