Internet connection today is becoming one of the essential elements people cannot live without it exactly like food, water and oxygen.
There are various connection types and person choice will depend on how he intend to use the internet.
The most common connection type -available in Oman- is Dial-up connection which is also the slowest and (usually) the most inexpensive.
Dial-up connection along with other different connection types charge by the minute of the connection; so the more time you spend on the internet the more you pay.
And since its speed in Oman is much less than the usual rate (56 Kilobits) people using it are overloaded with the service payment. For that you see some of the Omani people (those who have no other choice) all over the country complaining to improve the service; while the other group of people (who are more wealthy) choosed to use another more expensive internet service.
Although this state is not acceptable from the side of the people but its very economic for the company provide this internet service; since people continue to pay more money while they use the slow connection for long time.
So my recommendation to solve this problem is to open a competitive market for different companies each provides the best services they can with acceptable price; and where the customer and the companies both reach a point of satisfaction.
