they said this year the offers r super special…lets see if this is just another exaggeration
i hope i get good deal with FT like the last year.. 239 3MB up to X6 at night (18MB).
No offers at all regarding internet connections !!
the three companies agreed together for not to lower the prices !!
this is **** !!
how do u know??
VIVA has a good offer i guess. Plz check it
I called them all
those evil bastards .. i called FT and the price is 90kd more than last year .. they have camaro car -_-” .
any Iphone offers?
iphone ipad in Qnet -_-*
I just called QNET, as Abdullah said they’re not lowering the prices, they actually increased them.
2MB is for 215KD
3MB is for 285KD
4MB is for 356KD
Along with scratch & win coupon for the following prizes:
1- 1T External HD
2- iPads
3- Cash of 100 to 1000KD
4- Money back
Last year it was cheaper :/
they want to take the 1000 kd from us with a big smile .
All ISPs raised their prices! for example, 2mb connection went from 150kd last year to 215kd this year. Greedy bastards!
does that apply to FT???
yes
they suck!
the torrent is too slow this week (FT) did you notice any thing ?
i did actually
Wow.. that’s just ridiculous! People get a gift from the Amir and prices are already going up instead of down.
And this apparently is supposed to be “HALA FEBRUARY” shopping time, that too 50 years of Kuwait, 20 since Liberation and 5 since the new Amir’s taken over.
In that case, I hope infoconnect this time is a HUGE FLOP.
I actually went to some cell phone vendors in Kuwait City to inquire about mobile phones and checked out the prices. And the sales guy tells me this might be a good time to buy now since maybe within a few days they are going to increase all the cell phone prices since Kuwaiti’s have got the grant. WTF !!! I know, I will just wait for another month or so if that’s the case.
Bastards
I’ve payed 180 kd last year for 2mbps.
this year is 218 kd.
100 mbps in Sweden is 1.5 kd a month !!!!!
This is expected, prices went so slow it was almost going to be for free someday if they continued to do it that way, i remember Qualitynet Offer in Ramadhan was around 200 for the Max DSL (5~20MB)
The phone prices seem reasonably low though. Nokia N8 for 145 K.D plus free 20 K.D gift voucher + free 5 K.D viva line seems like a steal.
I live in lebanon and coming to visit my family next week. hope i’ll get a good deal on a mac.
Mark you must post a discussion about this ASAP especially that AL-Ghanim just raised the price of Iphone!!! and not only that some stores actually removed their sale banners :@ this is a rip off! kuwaiti people just received 1000KD and now it’s time to collect! business man in Kuwait are so greedy!
I hope someone in the gorverment is reading your post so they may act fast
Best thing to do is just to hold onto your 1000 KD for a few months, spend when (and if) the prices come down.
dude just order whatever u want online…screw those greedy bastards
Anyways the money(1000 K.D) is free only,why are you all bothered about the price increase ??
Only people earning money the hard way by working should be worried about the price increase’s.
U r so RIGHT!!! lol
@STAN : Thats a lame reasoning…
How does a company differentiate on who gets the 1000KD and who doesn’t…..
Just think about it this way. It’s Kuwaiti’s 50th anniversary celebrations.1000 K.D in hand, what else can they do with that money here in Kuwait other than buying electronic gadgets, car accessories , jeweleries and cloths.
This is the best time for business men to cash in that money by increasing the prices. Well for normal people like me I can wait till the prices really does reduce probably in a month or 2 but I don’t think Kuwaiti’s really would want to wait.
hey guys, can someone please tell the lowest price for nokia n8 without any viva or zain line
as @stan has commented,the offer is not bad if it is prepaid and not postpaid
This years infoconnect is just a huge cash grab for the 1000kd. I have a lot I want to share, but I’m on my phone. If you complain to the manager they might give you a lower price. I renewed my 4 know for 258 kd. I’ll post the whole story when I get home.
I”ve complained to the manager of Qnet & no hope, while i’m a loyal customer of them since 5 years, their confidence is too high since all ISPs share the same prices. I simply have no other option other than accept the offer. two moths ago Qnet has an offer of max speed for KD330 & now 4mb is for KD356 & if you want to add the nitro package which means the max speed only from 12am to 6am that will be KD404,,, this is ridiculous, im really pissed.
Looking forward to hear your side of story.
Actually, I was thinking about doing the same with QNet…I have been a loyal customer with them for several years now… I figured I would wait until the last day, then speak with their manager. If they don’t want to give me a lower price, I will switch to someone else.
Been there today, it was a sheer disappointment.
Firstly, it wasn’t well organized and very haphazard.
Secondly, yes, the prices. But that’s the case with all the big guns who seem to have stocked major products. More demand, Less supply = increased prices. The iPhone for instance went up from 250kd to 305kd in the last three months due to their monopoly.
A new trend by megamarts now is posting banners with low prices and when you reach there, its already sold – a friend reached one of the major megamarts at 07:30 in the morning on the day of promotion, and the iPhone was already out of stock.
hey guys, does anyone have any idea is zain has any BB offers besides their present ones
