And I must say that the connection itself is as widely variant as the level of their customer service. At some points, downloads flow in nicely at around 120KB/s, and sometimes it chokes and is only marginally better than dial-up. Customer support also varies between extremely helpful, and extremely eager to help but doesn't what they're talking about. One note, if you are a torrent user, don't expect your downloads to go above 32KB/s. And if you have a wireless router without a dedicated WAN port, expect to use one PC only at a time.

I was visiting Amman this last month and joined their monthly membership. The sign-up process was painless. They checked my location for availability down to the house I am staying at. Connection was excellent and immediate. I liked the fact that the modem connects through the LAN port ( can actually be connected to a wireless router for extra mobility aoround the house). I received a call shortly afterwards to check on my satisfaction or if I had any issues. Most my connection (I took the 512 level) was through VPN and remote desktop with excellent speed and consistency. Local download speed was very good also. I returned my modem and ended my service right before my trip back to the U.S. again the return process was painless and straightforward. This is a company that really caters for its customers. Hope they keep it up when I return next year. They deserve a 5 STAR for connectivity, and CUSTOMER SERVICE! Thank you Wi-Tribe I was extremely happy with Wi-Tribe.

But that's my opinion. now it depends on their service. I tried calling the number in the newspaper, ok i waited for 4 minutes (expected as the company is new and they would be recieveing 1000000 calls)but their customer care exceeded my expectations. the truth is I cannot say a bad word, they were very helpful and gave me full details!
