Business Fibre

Business Fibre

6 questions
What is Business Fibre?

Business Fibre is fixed internet for eligible commercial premises. It is generally suited to offices, branches and established business locations that need dependable connectivity for daily operations.

How do I choose the right Business Fibre speed?

Consider the number of users, cloud applications, video meetings, file transfers, backups, connected systems and expected growth. A busier workplace may need a higher speed tier.

Does Fibre availability depend on the building?

Yes. Availability can depend on the commercial property, building infrastructure and exact service location. The full business address is important when checking availability.

Can Business Fibre be used for branches or multiple offices?

Yes. Each location can be reviewed separately because availability, installation conditions and the most suitable plan can differ from one branch or building to another.

Can I use Business Fibre for cloud applications and video meetings?

Yes, provided the selected speed and plan are suitable for the number of users and workload. Heavier cloud use, large file transfers and frequent video meetings may justify a higher tier.

Can I request help comparing Fibre plans?

Yes. Share the number of users, business activity, expected usage and preferred budget range so the relevant Fibre options can be reviewed.

Business Wireless

Business Wireless

6 questions
What is Business Wireless?

Business Wireless provides business internet through a wireless network connection rather than a fixed Fibre line. It can be suitable for certain offices, shops, warehouses and project locations.

When should I consider Wireless instead of Fibre?

Wireless can be worth reviewing where flexibility, premises type or infrastructure makes a wireless setup more practical. The right direction depends on the actual location and expected business usage.

Is Business Wireless suitable for warehouses?

It can be. Warehouses and logistics sites often have different infrastructure needs from a standard office, so Wireless may be a useful option to review.

Can Business Wireless be used at project sites?

It may be suitable for some project or temporary operating locations. Suitability still depends on the actual location, service conditions and technical feasibility.

Does Wireless performance depend on coverage?

Yes. Wireless suitability and performance can depend on the location, network conditions and other technical factors. The exact premises should be checked before proceeding.

Can Wireless be considered for a small shop or small office?

Yes. It can be a practical option for suitable small commercial locations where the expected number of users and business usage match the service conditions.

Business Mobile

Business Mobile

6 questions
Who are Business Mobile plans for?

They are for company employees such as office staff, sales teams, field staff and other business users who need mobile data, calling and company-managed lines.

Can a company request several Business Mobile lines?

Yes. Share the approximate number of lines and the expected user profiles so the relevant plan options can be reviewed.

Should every employee use the same mobile plan?

Not necessarily. Different employees can have different usage patterns. Field staff, office users and managers may need different data or calling allowances.

Can Business Mobile plans include national minutes?

Some plans may include national calling allowances. The exact allowance depends on the selected plan and should be confirmed before application.

Can Business Mobile plans include international minutes?

Some plans may include international calling allowances or options. The included countries, minute allowance and conditions should be checked for the selected plan.

Can Business Mobile plans include SMS?

SMS allowances can vary by plan. Review the selected plan details and final commercial confirmation for the exact included allowances.

Business Infinite

Business Infinite

6 questions
What is Business Infinite?

Business Infinite is a group of company mobile plans aimed at heavier mobile usage, with plan-specific data, speed and calling structures.

How is Business Infinite different from Business Mobile?

Business Infinite generally targets heavier data usage, while Business Mobile offers a broader range of standard company-line options. The best fit depends on each employee's role and usage.

Who may benefit from Business Infinite?

Managers, executives, sales leaders, field users or other employees with consistently high mobile-data usage may benefit from reviewing Business Infinite options.

Does every Infinite plan have the same speed?

No. Speed structures can differ by plan. Review the specific plan details before choosing an option for a company user.

Are national and international calling options available?

Calling structures vary by plan and variant. Review the applicable national or international minute option for the selected Infinite plan.

Can a company mix Business Mobile and Infinite lines?

A company can review different plan types for different employee groups. The suitable combination depends on user roles, data usage and calling requirements.

Availability & Coverage

Availability & Coverage

6 questions
What information is needed to check availability?

For Business Fibre or Wireless, provide the company name, emirate, area, full business address, building or facility name and any office, shop, unit or floor details available.

Does an availability request guarantee service?

No. An availability request starts the review. Final availability, suitability, installation and commercial conditions still need to be confirmed for the actual location.

Can I check several company locations?

Yes. Each location should be identified clearly because availability and installation conditions can vary between premises.

What if I am not sure whether I need Fibre or Wireless?

Share the business location, number of users and expected usage. MBM can help review which service direction is more relevant before you choose a specific plan.

Can availability differ within the same area?

Yes. Two nearby buildings can have different infrastructure or service conditions, so the exact premises are more important than the area name alone.

Can I check service availability before choosing a plan?

Yes. For location-based services, checking the premises first can help narrow whether Fibre, Wireless or another direction is suitable.

Speed, Usage & Performance

Speed, Usage & Performance

6 questions
How many users can a Business Internet plan support?

There is no single number for every business. The answer depends on the plan speed, applications, simultaneous usage and the type of work each user performs.

What affects the speed a company should choose?

User count, cloud applications, video calls, large files, backups, POS systems, security systems and other connected devices can all affect the required speed.

Should a growing company choose extra capacity?

It can be sensible to allow for expected staff growth, heavier cloud usage and additional connected systems rather than choosing only for today's minimum usage.

Can Wi-Fi performance be different from the internet plan speed?

Yes. Wi-Fi performance can also depend on router placement, device capability, interference, premises layout and the number of connected devices.

Do video meetings use significant bandwidth?

Frequent HD video meetings across several users can add meaningful demand, especially when combined with cloud applications, file transfers and other office traffic.

How should I plan for heavy cloud and file-transfer usage?

Share the number of users, main applications, file sizes and whether large transfers happen simultaneously. This helps identify a more suitable speed tier.

Plans, Pricing & VAT

Plans, Pricing & VAT

6 questions
Are Business plan prices subject to VAT?

VAT treatment should be reviewed with the applicable plan information and final commercial confirmation before proceeding.

Can plan prices change?

Commercial pricing can change over time. The applicable price should be confirmed for the selected plan at the time of enquiry or application.

Are activation or installation charges always included?

Not necessarily. Any activation, installation or one-time charges should be checked against the selected plan and final commercial confirmation.

Can two similar plans have different total costs?

Yes. Contract term, promotion duration, one-time charges, equipment, included benefits and post-promotion pricing can affect the total commercial structure.

Should I compare only the monthly price?

No. Also review contract duration, promotion period, standard price after the promotion, equipment, included services and any one-time fees.

Can I ask for a plan based on a target budget?

Yes. Share the approximate monthly budget together with the actual service requirement so options can be reviewed without ignoring speed, usage or eligibility.

Promotions & Offers

Promotions & Offers

Can promotional pricing change?

Yes. Promotions can have eligibility rules, limited durations or other conditions and may change. The applicable offer should be confirmed at the time of enquiry or application.

What happens after a promotional period ends?

The standard post-promotion price or ongoing plan terms should be reviewed before proceeding so the company understands the full commercial structure.

Are promotions available to every business?

Not always. Promotions can depend on eligibility, service type, location, timing or other commercial conditions.

Can a promotion apply for only part of the contract?

Yes. Some offers may apply for a limited number of months while the underlying contract continues for a longer period.

Should I confirm promotion expiry before applying?

Yes. Confirm the applicable offer, eligibility, duration and any expiry condition before the application is submitted.

Review monthly pricing, promotion duration, standard post-promotion pricing, contract term, equipment, included benefits, one-time charges and applicable service conditions.

Can I change a plan during the contract?

Plan-change options depend on the active service and applicable terms. Available upgrade or change paths should be reviewed for the specific account.

Are there conditions if a service is cancelled early?

Early termination conditions can apply depending on the service and contract. Review the applicable terms before committing to a plan.

Can contract length affect the available offer?

It can. Some plans or promotions may be linked to a specific contract term, so the commitment period should be considered together with the price.

Installation & Equipment

6 questions
Does Business Fibre require installation?

Business Fibre normally requires installation at the eligible business premises. The exact work and timing depend on the location, building access and technical feasibility.

What equipment may be included with Business Internet?

What happens after I submit a new-service enquiry?

The requirement can be reviewed, missing details clarified and the relevant service or plan direction discussed before the application proceeds.

Can someone other than the company owner submit an enquiry?

Yes. A company representative can submit an enquiry, although formal application steps may require authorised company documentation or approval.

Does submitting an enquiry confirm activation?

No. An enquiry begins the sales and eligibility process. Final activation remains subject to service availability, documentation and applicable approval steps.
