I agree with root. Once du launches internet services all over dubai, perhaps we could get faster internet at better prices.

We are living in 2007. We should have 100 Mbps to our homes for 99 AED per month.

i will be happy with atleast 5-6mbps for that price :(

And currently we have 512 kbps for 299 per month..long way to go.

DU or Tecom are as bureaucratic as Etisalat if not worse. We need to open up to private providers to get the prices down and service quality up.

Today, if you dont like the service or price...what can you do? nothing..its take it or leave it.

The saddest part is that we have some of the most advanced infrastructure in this country. Like all the new freeholds have fiber optics to the house or building. Its just that those managing this infrastructure have no experience or vision on where to take it.

Should stop ranting and raving before they ban this site ;)

you are right, just checked http://www.du.ae/en/category/athome/broadband/

Maybe I should get the 1 or 2 Mbps now instead.


Yeah, please keep on visiting our sponsors...that way we can probably upgrade our server as well.

DU reception still sucks.
Just recently saw a mobile phone which can handle 2 SIM cards. They had a stall in Sahara Centre. Visit the website: http://www.wndtelecom.com/en/mobile/2000-Duo/
Costs 1700 AED.
Give respect, get respect.
