Ooredoo counts three million customers in Qatar across platforms

Ooredoo today announced that it has reached the milestone of more than three million customers in Qatar – the highest number ever recorded by the company.

The total customer base includes mobile, fixed line, broadband, entertainment and business solution customers, and the company has seen surging growth across all areas in 2014, driven by Ooredoo’s expanding portfolio of services and the on-going dynamism of Qatar’s economy.

Mobile service growth has been particularly strong, with Ooredoo now supporting more than 2.5 million mobile customers in Qatar. Ooredoo has successfully grown its base of post-paid customers over the past year, as Shahry has emerged as the fastest-growing mobile service in the country.

One of the most important factors driving the growth of Ooredoo’s customer base has been the rising use of data across business and customers throughout Qatar. Ooredoo is the data market leader in the leader, with 26 per cent year-on-year data revenue growth and 80 per cent mobile broadband penetration at the end of 2013.

Ooredoo passed the milestone of more than 100,000 fibre customers at the end of 2013. Ooredoo’s investment in Fibre will continue throughout 2014.
