acually no, the proxy will be removed. Du is acually planning to put a proxy on their network after they properly launch

the placing of the proxy in the internet is not up to etisalat acually, its up to the TRA who issue these laws ;)

Oooh you've got some people in the inside... Well connected aren't we? :lol:

Anyway, any plans on finally upgrading ADSL and getting some decent speeds? Maybe with the proxy gone, they'll be able to focus on what really matters!

Hey Nick,

Don't expect decent speeds if you have anything to do with Sahm / DIC / Du, the ADSL speeds are absolutely terrible during peak hours sometimes slower than the conventional dial-up.

the reason they are slow is because the demand for the internet is much faster than acually upgrading international links to support them, btw Sahm and DIC merged and now controlled by Du.

My problem is I cannot get Etisalat where I live, I would gladly subscribe to the 1meg Al shamil service and the standard telephone service.

No way. Instead, like others said, dudu will add their own proxy, as mentioned in the papers. I also know people in Etisalat on the engineering side, but they are useless for anything besides work stories.

By the way, the last time I used VOIP was in 2001, through MSN Messenger over here. Was it unblocked back then or does MSN's VOIP still work?
