Hey....do you encounter any lags when playing on Live? I experience terrible lags and makes the game no fun at all.

oldmanyoung

The video clearly uses two different but similar looking girls. Its not the same picture being modified.

And orkut is blocked now anyways....stupid.

oldmanyoung

Seriously? So DU is better than Etisalat regarding online gaming?? Hehe wow...do you know anyone else with a Etisalat connection and experiencing lags?

Also...any special setting you applied. I have my net through the router with the required ports open for Live.

oldmanyoung

Have you played with people from other countries? I don't there will be any lag problems when playing with people from UAE.

oldmanyoung

You can't pay online as of yet as Live is not supported in UAE. If you want Live you have to buy those 12 month cards. Live is not really worth it 'cause it lags a lot. All thanks to Etisalat and their world's most amazing internet equipment and connection. Unless, of course, you play a with few sel...

The main reason i use Gmail is because of the 'conversation' threading of the emails. That is absolute genius. It has made accessing, and storing/sorting emails so easy. Plus it saves a lot of clutter, no more tons of RE: emails messing up the inbox. It's all bundled into one. Awesome. That feature ...

Hi guys, I am mulling over upgrading my connection to 4mbps. I currently have 1mbps and it does not, err satisfy my needs of quicker downloads and smooth internet browsing (watching HD movies and all). So, this is a question for those who have had experience or are using the 4Mbps from Etisalat. How...

oldmanyoung

Thanks a lot for your reply ayazz. I guess you aren't a heavy torrent user or used public trackers to download? Anyway, 450 is pretty reasonable, though it should be around 500kbps. Bloody etisalat! One guy who has 4mbps says his speed tops at 320kbps max. Which is pretty bad. I am confused. Were do...

oldmanyoung

Maybe you haven't tasted private trackers!

Also, look into your router ports. Get them open. Torrents will work fast then.

I think i will upgrade. If i don't like it, i can also downgrade!

oldmanyoung

Google for 'Portforward' (I can't post links!) That's all you need. Find your router model (although, even if your router is not listed, try and get the hang of what is being required and then do the same in your router), choose bitorrent and follow the instructions. The ports you open and the port ...

oldmanyoung

Called 'em for an upgrade.

24 hrs or 48 hrs. I can't wait!

oldmanyoung

Damnit. Two days and still no increase in speed. Contracted Etisalat PC chat assistance and they say "ASAP...no time frame."

Wtf. I want the speed now!!

oldmanyoung

my-speedtest dot com has a free tool to check your speed. Scroll down the page to find the tool at bottom. It will do a small upload and then download and give you your up and down speeds. Free no charge test and I've used it before with no bad side effects. Yes, i know about the site. I have been ...

oldmanyoung

Got the 4MB increase. But, of course, it is not 4MB. More like 2.5MB. Speedtest gives a 3.4MB speed. Normal downloads varies between 120-280kbps and its not smooth. Torrent is 350kbps max. Browsing isn't all that fast. Jeez, Etisalat. Top bucks for a crappy connection. I will speak to them. And then...

oldmanyoung

My torrent settings are all good. I used to max out in my 1MB connection. I am not why it does not work for the 4MB? Also, on normal sites, any site, i cannot go above 250kbps. Its' strange. SpeedTest shows my connection as 3.4MB. Will contact Etisalat now. Really useless.

oldmanyoung

I would switch in a heart beat. But not to Du. They have great offers, i especially like their pay-per-second service, but their voice quality and coverage is down right horrible. I have stuck to Etisalat for this sole reason alone. TRA/Gov needs to become less greedy and invite major telephone oper...

That is indeed good news. Sharjah, it seems, gets hits the worst when rain comes pouring down. I hope this measurement solves some of the drainage issues.

I would be interested in joining for this job. Please contact me at mufaa.f@gmail.com

Hi guys, I have a little question which i hope some of you maybe able to help me out with. I need to go to AUH on a daily basis for a week. I am living in Sharjah. I have to reach there by 9am. What can i expect in terms of traffic? When should i leave? Which route should i take? Those shuttling bac...

oldmanyoung

Hmm. Damn, it's going to be a long and stressful week. How about while coming back? If i leave at 4, how much time it would be before i reach Sharjah border (Nahda or whatever it's called)?

oldmanyoung

3-4 hours? Hmm. I visited Jabeel Hafeet a month or so back. I left that place at 6pm and comfortably reached home by 7:30pm. It wasn't even a weekend. So, i guess if i leave at 4, i shld be home before 6 or just slightly after 6pm. Thanks for the tip though. I will mark those roads in my GPS. More e...

oldmanyoung

My work is on the brink of AUH. Near Khalifa Park i think.

I was just giving Jebel Hafeet as an example. I think Jabeel Hafeet - Shj is way more distance than AUH-DXB.

oldmanyoung

Hmm. Damn, it's going to be a long and stressful week. How about while coming back? If i leave at 4, how much time it would be before i reach Sharjah border (Nahda or whatever it's called)? If it's only for a week why don't you consider staying in a hotel in Abu Dhabi, thats got to better than 6 ho...

Hmm. Guess i will hitch a ride with my friend. The main problem is stress. I have to put up with time wastage..can't help with that. Thankfully, it's only for a week.

oldmanyoung

AUH Downtown to Garhoud Bridge is 150 km, Jebel Hafeet to downtown Sharjah is 150km as well. On top of that there are very few traffic lights in Alain, so you can leave the city easily, whereas getting out of downtown AUH takes quite a bit fo time due to the numerous traffic lights. Yeah, what's up...
