FYI, for those who want to leave ADSL behind...and use a 3G router (purchase in Khobar) which usually takes normal size SIM card (you can get an adapter for micro-SIM or just ask for full-size SIM).
I have tested near the Hills school using an external eternal (attached directly to 3G router - not something mounted external to house).
Zain - no signal; seems to be in a null spot between towers
STC - only Edge speeds (i.e. slow)
Mobily - 3G signal resulting in about 8mbps down/2mbps up
Cost is about $90 USD per month for unlimited with Mobily. Not a great deal, but given how slow the ADSL is, I don't feel the $40 is a value.
Your mileage may vary.
