Fasttelco: sucks fucking cock, its a piece of shit company that provides the shittiest service possible just for the sake of providing dsl. Their customer support is a lebanese guy that works 24/7 (I feel sorry for him). Unitednetworks: Was amazing from launch till recently. This whole Fujairah island thing is an annoying fucking headache. My internet (Unitednet 512 atm) has been messed up for the past month and a half high pings, packet loss the whole lot. Qualitynet: A company that cares I truely mean it. Qualitynet fixed its internet and put all the people in Kuwait on a secure 100% working backup line ONLY 2 days after the fujairah problem started. This company knows it's shit, they get the job done and they have better technical support. Can't really compare Qnet to isp's in the states but they are doing really good considering how long dsl has been in Kuwait. I praise qnet.

Also, I totally agree with you. I *love* the UAE (esp Abu Dhabi) to death--I grew up here and most of my family is here. But when I see how badly everything's becoming for expatriates--esp Arabs--here, my disillusionment grows more and more. And don't get me started on Dubai...I used to have dreams of living there one day. Now, I can't stand to be there more than a few hours. On another note, I haven't found one single proxy that works (well) in the UAE.

For the past few days the erotic images in the Google images search is not displayed, inspite of the SAFE SEARCH FILTERING being set to OFF. And once you set in a proxy - it shows up. 3baid - I wouldn’t be so sure abt Google images anymore.

UAE is living a fake dream. Don't believe what you see on ur TV when they talk about internet city and whatever. its just a fantasy your rulers love to live. I remember visiting Dubai once and I had to get internet access. We looked everywhere for dialup cards. we couldn't find any. Apparently we have to register our name at the ministry, get a phone line, and apply for a permit just to get an internet connection!! our only other choice was cybercafe. Which of course took copies of our civil ideas and stuff. Talal, As I mentioned before… UAE is living a fake dream.

Gimme a fucking break, retarded idiots. When one can access any site available on the net using one of a bajillion FREE dial-up ISPs in effing Cairo, yet can't check out pics one's friend's posted on Flickr using a 256kbps DSL connection in the middle of Abu Dhabi, then there really is something wrong in this world.
