Ooredoo announces 100,000 fibre customer milestone

Ooredoo today announced that it has reached the milestone of providing broadband fibre to more than 100,000 customers in Qatar.

More than 80 per cent of homes in Qatar now have an Ooredoo fibre connection, and the service continues to roll-out to new areas every week. In a global study based on figures from the FTTH Council, Qatar was recognised as the fastest nationwide rollout of fibre in the world in 2012, judged by the percentage of homes passed by fibre and the number of homes connected in the year.

Ooredoo’s investment in fibre will continue throughout 2014. In addition to expanding the network across Qatar, Ooredoo is planning a sizeable infrastructure investment and capacity-building programme in the lead-up to the FIFA World Cup 2022.
