Ooredoo Oman, a leading telecom provider, plans to invest RO60 million ($155 million) this year in expanding its network, the company’s CEO said.

 “A substantial amount will be invested in enhancing our 4G Internet quality and coverage, with the aim of providing additional value to our customers,” Greg Young told Oman Observer.

The telco also completed its fibre optic network spanning 5,500 km and more than 100,000 households will be able to benefit from the superfast fibre home broadband by the year end, he added.

“Next year we will see a further increase to 180,000 households who can enjoy superfast speeds, as we continue to push our great value-added plans out to the market. Once customers have experienced fibre, they won’t want to go back,” Young said.
