My worst experience was trying to drag Outlook settings out of them so I could use email..."We don't support Outlook because it is third party software"!!!! It's less service for the same price, what a bargain.GAWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-63806864787705921252010-04-29T15:49:02.038+03:002010-04-29T15:49:02.038+03:00I just read a press release issued by Etisalat a f...I just read a press release issued by Etisalat a few minutes ago. Its so sad how they try to make things disappear. Here's my favorite part:<br /><br />“Etisalat customers did not face major slowdowns in Internet browsing owing to its robust network with multiple redundant links to major global Internet hubs in Asia, Europe, and USA,”<br /><br />http://www.arabianbusiness.com/587129-etisalat-says-uae-internet-service-fully-restoredJad Aounhttp://www.jadaoun.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-45452579253045491672010-04-29T14:13:33.116+03:002010-04-29T14:13:33.116+03:00The slowdown isn't evenly spread over Dubai; I...The slowdown isn't evenly spread over Dubai; I'm on Cable internet and didn't suffer any slowdowns until 2 days ago whereas most people were complaining about it on twitter for quite a few days before that.<br /><br />They've said on twitter that the problem is over with now and it'll be restored by this evening.<br /><br />This is why internet speeds are low in the UAE, because there isn't enough internet--literally; undersea cables just cost so much to lay. The SEAMEWE4 is a 500 million US dollar cable, the cost of which is spread between a dozen or so countries.<br /><br />There are more undersea cables being built at the moment.<br /><br />In my opinion, the slowdowns this time around have been far less than any time previously (but then again not all connections have been affected/unaffected similarly)samuraisamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06177501779546963794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-31021669710033319462010-04-29T14:04:29.265+03:002010-04-29T14:04:29.265+03:00@anonymous I disagree, haven't been able to lo...@anonymous I disagree, haven't been able to load a single video during this whole weekAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-11759906387074389822010-04-29T13:41:44.960+03:002010-04-29T13:41:44.960+03:00pages: normally loaded
