We used information from the various ISPs web pages, as well as from the Internet Service Unit (ISU) division of King AbdulAziz City for Science and Technology (KACST).

We also used "various word of mouth" information from actual users of various services.

We called ISPs and got pricing information.

We browsed their web sites (if operational) to get an idea on their pricing (if available), and general state of their site.

We attended computer exhibitions and got the flyers and brochures offered by various ISPs.

We visited resellers of internet service (mainly computer shops) and got information from them.
