Internet slowness In Oman

Internet is an important tool that affects all aspects of todays life. Education as well as other majors is affected by the internet services.
In Oman internet connections are very slow . I think the reason is that there are no many internet providers in Oman. If there are more Internet providers in the country, each of them will try to provide beter services and then they will compete to provide faster internet.

Also I found other reasons for low internet services in a research paper intitled " Critical Assessment of the Internet Development in Oman"(al-Zubaidi,2002). These reasons are distributed population, geographical features, and poor economy compared to the developed world.
