zain prices are between 14 and 80 monthly and 140 to 800 yearly. the speed is between 128kbps and 8mbps

umniah prices are between 150 and 550 and the speed is between 256kbps and 8mbps

i currently use a 2mbps from orange for 30 jds a month.
it is very good and i get unlimited download after midnight.

about mobiles
the providers are umnia,orange and zain
zain and umniah i think have most of the market share and orange is usually used by government workers.
i have 2 lines zain and umniah:

zain's advantages:
1-best network signal
2-almost everyone is a user of zain

disadvantages:
1-high prices
2-i tried their customer support and i didn't like it

umniah's advatnages:
1-lowest prices
2-lowest international calls prices

disadvantage:
1-sometimes the network is very poor but its good enough when you are in the city
*didn't try their customer support

i had internet when i was in jordan...and they have this thing called a download limit....which is another way to scam people..i mean i never heard of that in my life until i went there...and if your watching youtube..and want to let another video load up it cuts your speed in half....jordan is still way behind on internet technology...i mean a download limit come on...thats a joke...and they try to make it better by saying after midnight its free....well i dont use the net after midnight so what do i benefit from it...

moud23 ,I agree with you,it scam,just another way to make money,When I was in the States I never heard of it ??!!
I had  UMNIAH net for 3 years  and I loved it but I am trying new
company calls BLUEZONE...
I have UMNIAH Modem 49JD worth,I don't need it any more since I switch the net if any one wants to buy it for 25 JD please let me know...
Thanks
