Oh and wait, to make it worse, here's a line from the article:
An award has been presented to Batelco for the best Internet service provider of the year at the second annual CommsMEA Awards held at the Fairmont Hotel, Dubai. "We are delighted to have achieved this prestigious recognition as the Best Internet Service Provider of the year in the Middle East and Africa region," said consumer division general manager Nick Di Marzo, who attended the event. "Our strategy to remain technically innovative, while keeping the needs of our customers in the forefront has proven to be successful."

best internet frustration provider?
ReplyDeletethis is funny, who were they compared to, Somalia?
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed !!! to say the least :S
ReplyDeletethose days Bahrain is collecting awards every where! it looks like someone wants to update Bahrain's C.V.!!
best government website, best internet service, best best best of things that simply not true!
I wonder who actually makes these decisions? to give out the awards, I mean?
ReplyDeleteYou beat me to it Ammar.
ReplyDeleteThis is pure, grade A, B.S.
*sniff*
Ahh,
The smell of fresh manure in the morning!
((the best Internet service provider))
ReplyDeleteDefine BEST here !!
why the surprising now ? isnt our Bu3ly won the thing ! nothing is more tha that !
ReplyDeleteHmm...
ReplyDeleteLets looks at tis a moment:
1) Batelco is the ONLY ISP in Bahrain.
2) There is no # 2 ISP in Bahrain
3) No other ISP entered the category for "Best ISP in the Middle East".
3) Ergo, Batelco is the # 1 ISP in Bahrain.
what a load of crap!
ReplyDeleteI've come to this conclusion:
ReplyDeleteBahrain's internet penetration is roughly 50% of Bahrain's homes. Let's say 90% of these homes are provided by Batelco and the other 10% from Orbit and other satellite services.
now 90% from 50% is a lot so Batelco has the most customers and anywhere in the world
most customers=best service=more customer satisfaction=best internet provider
but not in Bahrain!
then Middle Eastern and African ISP must be in a very bad shape!
ReplyDeleteYou and all the commentaries seem to be really pissed off! Just laugh about it man! It’s not worth being angry about! It’s all about who you know around there, not if you are really the best in anything! :P
ReplyDeleteits just the fact that weve been so screwed with batelco, their data limits, ridiculous prices, lousy service, and in the end they get an award! blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
ReplyDelete"this is funny, who were they compared to, Somalia?"
ReplyDeletePlease brother do not make such remarks about the brotherly nation of Somalia, It is a nation burdened with war but they are good muslim and arab brothers.Let us move forward from these hateful remarks.
But I do agree in relation to your comments about Batelco.
