From 1 June Dhiraagu will be reducing DhivehiNet charges, to provide customers with savings of up to 67% on current prices. The following four packages will be introduced:

Dial-up rate | 4 free hours / month | 40 free hours / month
33.6k | Rf 100 | Rf 800
56k | Rf 130 | Rf 1,000

Also the following new reduced dial-up rates will be effective from 1 June:

Dial-up rate | Peak | Off-peak | Economy
33.6k | 1.20 | 0.80 | 0.55
56k | 1.40 | 1.00 | 0.75
Times | Sat - Thu 08-00 to 18-00 | Sat - Thu 18-00 to 22-00 & all day Friday | Everyday 22-00 to 08-00

Keith Wilson, Dhiraagu Chief Executive Officer said, "We want to make all our services, as affordable and accessible to customers as possible. However this is difficult, given the unique geography of the Maldives, the small customer base and the large investments that are required. This year alone, we will invest over Rf 100 Million in new services and equipment."

His Excellency President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom inaugurated DhivehiNet service in October 1996 and since then tariffs have been reduced four times. Dhiraagu has never increased prices and this is just one example of our commitment to make our services as affordable and accessible to customers.
