Dubai Forums Dubai Business Dubai Black list

well iam new in this site...but i want to tell u something etisalat is the worst company ever...really they r expensive and they would let u die on the phone before they answer ur call and about the internet slowness its true...i used to play a game called rose-online and i remember that the game always lagged cuz the connection is lost and all of that becuz of etisalat...

and before 1 week i broke my internet modem ...then i called etisalat and i had to wait for 5day so they can come to the house and fix it...but when they arrived they told me that i have to buy a new modem from 240dh and when i went to ajman etisalat they told me they dont have the modem( ajman etisalat is about 30floor building and they dont have a modem inside there yeah what a service to offer for the customers) then i had to got to sharjah to get.... and thanx god the driver went to get not me cuz i dont like to wait in lines for more then 30min just to get a small piece of paper then to go to another line and wait for 20min to pay then to go and wait for another 20min to get the modem....

at last really really etisalat sucks....

ok, lets just say that we blacklist etisalat...we listen to you and we dont subscribe to etisalat...lets just say that all of us got pretty pissed off at them coz we all play rose-online...so we boycott them...but wait...theres no other internet service provider!!! WTF!!!!

dude, wake up...they have a monolopy going, unless you open your own ISP and provide all the infrastucture to provide all of us with outstanding before and after sales, customer service and internet...OVERNIGHT, we'll transfer to your company...thats all we could do..princess about it...thats it...you could have went to an electronics company and got yourself another modem...works the same way, cheaper and..you wouldnt have to have spilled yoru guts out on something that anyone of us can do anyway. but yea...it was fun reading your rant. hehehehehehhe

First of all...
I applied for DSL 512k connection and took me 1 whole month to setup and installation... anyways, using 512k, I ain't satisfied with the services etisalat provides... it's like... my friend has a 1mb connection and I have a 512k... I noticed, there isn't a big difference between them... my average download rate is 35k... although it should be around 50k to 60k...

I called etisalat and asked them to have this fixed... they came and checked it, but it's still the same... I get slow download rates.

Etisalat sucks big time...

I have a friend in UK, who has a 1mb connection there... he says, his average download rate is 300k to 340k... that's what I call DSL! But here, Etisalat provides 80k to 120k on a 1mb connection... see the difference?

relax i dont work 4 etisalat n i'm jobless till now.

i've lived in some westrean countries n beleive me the prices of thier high speed or mobile services r 10 times more expensive then the national etisalat company,

they even charge u 4 incomin calls n incomin msg can u believe that, so wether ur usin their services or not ur still payin.

Gob bless etisalat, the country n its ppl

i think you lived in a country which was only located in continent Europe., where they were more greedy than here, So can imagine that you are feeling good. BUT fact is all developled countries in Europe have much better and Good service than this crap. You need examples
Sweden 2 MB 200 SEK per month which is equal to 100 Dhs, UK Phone plus broadband cost you 25 Pounds in Luton 175 dhs, Denmark 100 DKK broad band and Cable 60 Dhs
so i hope you can compare now
I have been to all these places and have used internet, speed is better there mate!

Exactly. For the prices charged for 512k here, the Brits and the Americans get 2MB!

You should be on DIC, now that is nonesnse, when it comes to download speeds

Ditto to that S&O.

I finally got a 1mb connection a week ago - I am not sure what the contention rate might be as I live in ten floor residence, but this is really, really poor.

First point:

DNS - why so long to resolve? - they really need to and beef up their DNS farm. I am considering running my own local cache to see if helps speed things up.

Second Point:

Bandwidth - oh dear this is really bad.

When i try to listen to internet radio I get about 3 second blast and then it cuts out trying to buffer.

Downloads - 20 to 30k - I just left a 1mb connection behind in the UK. It was a quarter of the cost and would get me 300-400 k.

Dubai is a great country, worlds highest hotels etc - but the technology sucks big time and i have yet to get a cell phone yet
