Telecoms Minister Boutros Harb Friday unveiled Lebanon’s first unlimited broadband Internet plan, while cutting prices and increasing speeds on existing DSL services. Harb said the price of the new 2 Mbps, unlimited download plan would be LL75,000. Previously, for LL75,000, consumers could get a 2 Mbps plan with a 20 gigabyte data limit, paying LL6,000 per additional gigabyte.

 

The entry level DSL plan, still priced at L24,000, will be upgraded to 2 Mbps with a 40 gigabyte cap, compared with the previous 1 Mbps and 4 gigabytes of data. The 4 Mbps plan will see its price drop to LL50,000, from LL75,000, and have its usage increased to 50 gigabytes, from 25 gigabytes. The 6-8 Mbps plan will now cost LL65,000 and include 60 gigabytes of data.
