Ooredoo Algeria adds 3.5 million subs in 12 months

Ooredoo Algeria today confirmed that it has reached the milestone of 3.5 million 3G customers within the first year of the launch of the service.

The company reported that more than 3.5 million customers in 25 provinces have chosen Ooredoo’s 3G network.

Ooredoo Algeria also became one of the first operators in the world to achieve network throughput of 63 Mbps, and the first operator in Africa to deploy 400G ultra-broadband mobile access network in 2014.

As early as January 2015, Ooredoo’s 3G network will be extended to 32 provinces, covering 80 per cent of Algeria’s population. Ooredoo has invested more than US$2 billion in its network enhancement programme and intends to accelerate its ambitious investment plan.
