Alright I just got my mac book and the zain thing is way different on it. I did the proper install process but everytime I try to connect to my zain 3g it closes, it also does it for my 3.5. Can anyone help me out??

I am also using a zain ego and its really a shit. since last three months i am complaining but they are least bothered to resolve the packet loss problem. since last 2 wks connection is like dead, 107 A-Holes tell me to go at CompuMe and these F-Btrs they says there is no problem, infact there is no prblem cose net works good at there place.

I hate this Zain company..

I have been using E-Go 7.2 for more than 1 & half years. I must say and insist, it`s the worse internet I had since 15 years!!!

my speed never goes up 50KB/S my ping is very very bad and I am an online gamer! I have contacted customer support so many times, and no one seems to know what is ping!!! and no can fix my crappy speed!

maybe they gave you a modified e-go 21mb to test it. but the ones we will get will be slow

why should this new 21MB e-go be better and give better speed than 7.2 or the internet in Afganistan ?

Is this ego good for Xbox Live? Because I’m thinking of getting it.

I have had good success with this but was wondering why it all of a sudden just brought my DL speed to between 11 and 16 KB/S now it takes forever to get on websites and stream any type of video. Anyone have any ideas on what to do?

Hi There,

I have been hearing this rumors from some of my friends at Zain that their network is not really ready for 21.6 Mbps speeds. They only have one or two of their towers offering this speed. This launch of 21.6Mbps is just a marketing gimmik. If this is the case, I am hugely dissapointed with Zain as the last thing that I expect from them is to be cheats.

Ciao!!!

Hi Marzouq,

Actually the Network doesn’t support 21.6 MBps yet, only 14.4Mbps. Major hardware upgrades are needed and are expected to arrive by the end of the year. The idea is that the Terminals supports the 21.6 once the network is upgraded.

Expect even higher end user speeds January Next year.

I just bought it, there is a monthly cap of 25GB (Viva’s cap is 60GB). The SpeedTest.net gave me a DL speed of about 3.4MB and upload speed of 0.4MB

First impressions? HUGELY disappointed. I’m giving this a month to change my mind, if it didn’t, I’ll return it and pay the cancelation fee (50 KD), and stick with my older 3G Viva connection (which has been working spectacularly well for me) whilst waiting for Viva to release their own 21MB/s connection.

They currently offer 14MB/s one, but you have to sign a year contract with them, AND pay for the devise 32KD with a monthly fee of 39KD.

I went with Zain because you get the devise for free, and it’s supposedly 21MB/s which really isn’t THAT different to Viva’s 7.2 3G one.

Maybe I’m quick to judge since I’ve been using it for only two hours and in one location, but only time will tell.

the older e-go works on linux but does this work on linux too? (like ubuntu )

DSL is still better, and most importantly you need good upload speed for gaming. If the Zain USB has good upload speed, then it is possible for good gaming. Though I have seen in Rehab complex some stores offering PS3 + e-go packages, no idea how that works though, or if it is good for that matter.
