Combine Zain, Ooredoo, & STC Internet Speeds Using Raspberry Pi & Speedify

Right now I am heavily researching how to combine connections to get very high speeds. The main reason I am doing this research is because I just moved to my new home and the internet is horrible. Sometimes I get 1-2MB speeds, and can’t even watch a TV Show. The house is in a dead zone, so there is barely any signal. I found out that the roof has the best signal but it isn’t consistent. Sometimes it is good, and other times it is horrible. I have access points across the house getting the signal from the main router on the roof. I have Zain and Ooredoo 5G routers, and each time one of them is better than the other. Sometimes Zain is very fast, and sometimes it is slow. Same thing goes for Ooredoo, so I needed to come up with a solution. I was thinking of merging both routers into one and get higher and more reliable speeds. After lots of research, I found out that people are using Speedify and Raspberry Pi to do so. I saw people combining 8 connections combining DSL, Wi-Fi, 3G/4G devices, and tethered smartphones. Now I want to merge Zain, Ooredoo, and STC so I can always have a stable fast connection at home. This is what I found

The issue is that Raspberry Pi requires coding, and the basic ones in the links above can do that job. From what I read, it needs more coding to make it a solid router that merges all networks into one. It requires some coding so when the Raspberry Pi reboot, it won’t lose the code. Also it requires other coding, so the software runs in the background once it starts. I need to find someone to make it a solid merging router that can sell in the market. If such product is available, I will buy it today.

I just ordered Raspberry Pi from Amazon, and I would like to see how that works. I just need to find the programmer that can make it a fixed router so I don’t worry about any reboot.

Update: I finished programming Raspberry Pi, but Speedify is giving slower speeds than the connection by itself. The speed is less because it is combining using VPN. The closest location is Dubai so we are getting slower speeds by the time it gets to Kuwait.

Some of my friends have been getting calls from Zain for 5G offers. The offer is really amazing and I can’t wait to get a call to get that offer. The offer is 17.5 KD for 600 GB + 5G Router. The commitment is for 2 years as usual, and the speeds that my friends are getting are around 280 MB. This offer isn’t available at stores, and Zain has to call to get that offer.

Inserting 4G Chip In New Router Give Much Higher Speeds

OK this might sound crazy, but I personally tested this glitch and I got 5G speeds at 4G prices. It started with my genius cousin who enjoy experimenting with technology. He subscribed to 5G speed the day it came out, and he was doing various testing with the router in terms of download and upload speeds. He wanted to know what exactly gets us the 5G speed, so is it the sim card subscription, or the router. Out of curiosity he did a speed test with his 5G router and 5G sim card then he inserted his 4G sim card into his 5G router. The surprise was that he got the same exact speeds. Imagine he was paying for 4G plans which is so cheap and he was getting 5G speeds during his test. The thing that is getting us 5G speeds is the router, which I personally believe is a glitch by the telecom companies in Kuwait. Especially that this router is being sold online whether in Kuwait or overseas, so anyone can get 5G speeds without the subscription, which isn’t right.

This glitch might be abused by some users and therefor we decided to write an article and contact all telecom companies in Kuwait, which are Zain, Viva, and Ooredoo to let them know about the issue so they can fix it ASAP and avoid losing millions of dollars.

Got a comment from Saud Almesri & ITGUY and both are right. The speeds is lower on 4G chip than 5G chip. The speeds we got from old router to new router is 15 MB and 289.9 MB respectively. I apologize for the mistake and thanks to both Saud Almesri & ITGUY for pointing out the mistake

Why Are Telecom Companies Dropping 5G Internet Prices in Kuwait ?

When I heard that 5G can reach crazy speeds like 200 to 800 MB, I decided to go for it as soon as it releases. I assumed I just have to buy the 5G router and I will immediately have it, but that wasn’t the case. I have to pay for a new package, which cost much more than 4G. I understand that telecom companies have to pay a lot for the new infrastructure, so it is their right to charge more for the service. I was sure to go for 5G as soon as it releases, but when I saw the pricing, I decided to wait. 24 hours later, the prices were kind of decreased or the capacity was adjusted to reflect lower prices. I will eventually upgrade even at these prices, but I am observing at this stage, because almost everyone is waiting for lower prices in Kuwait. I see people on social media all the time saying if you don’t subscribe now and get locked for 2 years, they will lower prices. At the Duwaneya, my friends are saying the same thing. Almost everyone is waiting for lower prices, and they are sure that it will eventually happen. I am not sure what changed in Kuwait that people became very price cautious even those who can easily afford it. After seeing the prices just right now, it seems that people are right, because I am seeing lower prices and limited time offers for the time being.
