MUSCAT: For the first time, Ooredoo Oman has launched its highly anticipated 5G Home Internet plans. 

“At just OMR 28 per month for 20 MB speed and OMR 35 per month for 100 MB speed, customers will experience connectivity up to 10 times faster than current home internet services, along with a massive 1,000 GB of data,” the company said in a statement on Monday. 

According to Ooredoo, customers will get a free plug-and-play 5G modem when they sign up for a 24-month contract. With ultra-low latency to dramatically improve video, gaming and VR, 5G is the gateway to a whole new world of wireless technology.

Ian Dench, Chief Executive Officer of Ooredoo Oman, said, “The launch of Ooredoo’s new 5G Home Internet will bring high speed internet access to new area of the sultanate. This new high speed ‘wireless fibre’ using 5G technology will take internet use to a whole new level and open up a world of new ways of living; something we are on the cusp of, but which can now expand dramatically. By providing our customers with this transformative technology, we will be giving them the best possible data experience so that they can enjoy the internet even more.”

Ooredoo has been preparing for the transition to 5G Home Internet since 2019, rolling out demonstrations and experience zones at stores in Muscat and Salalah. A number of customers in Muscat, Barka, Sohar, Salalah, Al Buraimi and Nizwa will be able to enjoy a new world of fast-speed connectivity.
