Thank you Etisalat... NOT


dubailover
Hmmm, like a Cartel you mean?
Thats no good, I was in Dubai earlier this year when Du were doing their massive launch but havent really got any positive feedback from anyone.....so whats the solution?
liverpool4ever They blocked now... What the f**s wrong with them? Smart
They did not. I have just opened a page :roll: KageofSoul
Some things are temporarily blocked then unblocked, but who knows.. .in this case.
The blocked once. That was wrong... Uae_Me cheer up , you'll get used to it 8) KageofSoul
Well I've been here 5 years and I still haven't got used to the sporadic site blocking sprees they take up every now and then. Most of their choices and general reasoning seems pretty nonsensical to me, which is why it does become rather monotonous and irritating to have to bear with.
But hey... this is Etisalat we're talking about ^_^ gtmash
Come on now. We still enjoy the fastest internet service in the world*
* Terms and Conditions apply. Above statement correct when comparing etisalat broadband service to dial-up service in rural Kazakhstan MAC
:lol: :lol: :lol: kay1730
Etisalat aint that bad after all then :D Dr.D and yet urban dictionary remains unblocked as always. Go figure.

Meh... I wish I was in Japan. 12 meg is standard. But yeah, at least we're better off than rural Kazakhstan... -_- giggsy yeah but what's so great about fast speeds if you can't access what you want? KageofSoul
Yeah... you got a point there. Even though we were being sarcastic...
A lot of popular upload/download sites are impossible to retrieve files from due to the ip mask we share from the proxy. Megaupload, Rapidshare, Sendspace and the like. It's a real shame, but hey... we can do without I guess. Purple Complex My internet usage is mostly unaffected from their blocking sprees, but I must say the YouTube one did strike a nerve. dxbexpat Why do they block random sites? Well......just imaging what kind of people are sitting on the computers at Etisalat doing that. That imagination should say everything. adios KageofSoul
It's not exactly random, but then it's not particularly selective either. Anyhow, I'm pretty sure it isn't how they get their kicks at least. dubailover Is there an alternative to Etisalat? What other ISP are there or is Etisalat theonly one? gtmash
There is Du, which is worse. The two companies divide up areas among themselves, like gangs do. benwj
You mean like the Mafia?
d3vilish_ang3l_88 GGGRRRR....DAMN YOU ETISALAT! :evil: :evil: ..today it decided to block friendster... im gonna shoot someone!! :evil: sage & onion
