STC Fiber Optics

Stable and reliable...

Does come with Modem and free installation.

Way Way more worth than your money.

I use 10 mbps..Think around 150 SR pm

Scratch all the questions I asked . I found out that fiber optics are not available in my area yet . I've decided to change to postpaid JoudNet (10 or 20 Mbps , haven't decided yet) but I've seen one complaint about how he/she gets 7mbps when they paid for 20mbps and lots of complaints about STC giving them the wrong billings . I was asking around on websites looking for help but I couldn't find any .

So here are the new questions

1. Do u get the speed u paid for?

2. How much is the installation and router ?

3. How long did STC take to come to your house and install it?

is Joodnet really unlimited? any fair usage policy?

I'm planning on buying a 4G router which costs around 500SAR and getting a 4g data only SIM from STC for 300SAR for three months. I've talked to people here in the compound that use and like this service. Problems with STC's systems right now because of the newly required fingerprint scheme but hope to buy this week. I'll report back on how well it works.

DONT! Please Don't . I have the QuickNet 4G unlimited 3 month too . It is trash ! Basically , stc has a fair usage policy , once u exceed it , your internet speed goes down to 0.5 Mbps . There are hashtags (#halfmega) and websites ( www.half-mega.com ) about it . I would recommend fiber optics if they are available in your area (20mbps for 200 monthly ) which is great .

I've heard that it is limited but it is 50gb daily . You wouldn't usually exceed 50gb in a day . I bet you won't even exceed 10gb

Wow, thanks for the heads up. That's pretty scary, didn't see that in the fine print. Do you know what their download amount is before they start the throttling.  Not sure whether I can get fibre here in the compound, just looking for a quick solution. Thanks.

To be fair , the speed goes up to 20mbps during a part of the day ( for me it's 1PM to about 4PM ) then it goes back to 0.5 Mbps . You can check the coverage map on stc.com for fiber optics or get JoodNet

Hi there, is that 50GB a day for the STC 4G SIM service?

It's for the JoodNet . I am not sure about STC quicknet

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

1.    Yes it comes with router but you have to select the bundle to subscribe.
2.    It is stable and reliable if you take more care for in house wiring
3.    Yes
4.    You can se the details at www.stc.com.sa and select.
5.    You have to confirm everything before finalize. I do not want you to be the victim as me, I am paying for 20mb while my line stander can work on 10mb, so I have 10mb and paying for 20mb.

joodnet is unlimited and im using since many months now and im paying 199 sr for 20mb speed per month and its best of all other network

Please avoid anything over the air,such as 4G 3G,unless you can confirm (with someone using it in your area) that coverage is good and interface is low

Using Jood 2 - 40 Mbps
-Ping latency is low,which is good and bandwidth is fair too (Can be hammered if you go all out on it)
-The only issue is the router with lack of options,though it's the default one from STC,it is bundled with it (So can't complain much)
-3 out of 4 Lan ports on it are purposely locked by STC,If we request them to turn the other one on,they will split the intenet speed to 20-20,so I went with a switch which can be a issue when hitting it from multiple computer due to bandwidth constrictions)
