First of all I have an experienced backround in networking/IT.

I’m not gonna get into advanced details,however;

Etisalat is the worst ISP I have ever seen.

Secondly they offer a service sub par to anything i’ve ever seen.

Third of all it offers the shittiest peering/routing i’ve ever seen.

Fourthly they’re stealing my money.

One day, just one day I hope an American ISP enters the middle eastern market, and rapes the shit out of every middle eastern own piece of crap ISP, then I will have my peace.

Talal, ur a big liar… Etisalat is not blocking youtube in Khalidia in AD!! I live there in Dana Plaza Building and to all of u suckers who say that its a new development (Khalidia is one of the oldest areas in AD) N NO IT DIDN”T BLOCK IT! N hey, for u torrent users, well, here is an idea, GO USE SHAREAZA! its good too! torrents sux! takes a lot of time esp when s/l gets lower (Which sooner or l8er will happen)!

As for u johN, saint of etisalat, sweetheart, go kick urself in the nuts, we hv prostitution allowed here but such other sites (Yes sm other sites are blocked for no fucking reason)! When u ask users who are working there (SUCH AS U LOL) they go like, there is smthn that isn’t appropriate to c in that website… Well guess what honey, why doesn’t the “inappropriate” seeings everywhere gets blocked if thats the rule!

Why you guys hate Etisalat so much.
Please do not forget that UAE is not a european country. Etisalat is owned by more than 70% by the UAE goverment and this is the wish of the GOV, that is it.

The government authorities have all rights to decide what is blocked and what is not.
Therefore, Etisalat has nothing to do with it. I work for etisalat and I can assure you, as an expat we do everything possible to help the web users.

Please just remember that you are “VISITING” and “LIVING” in an ISLAMIC country ruled by a crown prince federal government controlled from abu dhabi.

Once you have this in picture, you will understand why etisalat react as such.

All the best

John.

Aah! It’s so good to be away from Etisital. The bane of my existence when I lived in the UAE. I’m back in Canada where there is freedom of choice.How refreshing.

Etisalat has blocked all MAJOR torrent sites such as The pirate bay, torrentspy, and many many others.. None of my friends can connect to the TPB no1 can download movies anymore unless we use ratio sites which are pure crap.. this sucks… on the other hand friends of mine in the Greens are able to connect to TPB as their connection is DU

its true etisalat is crap the blocked youtube and tv-links website (you can watch episodes of any program you want).

etisalat has got issues they probably reserve the sites for their own use so the can be freaks.

They probably look at porn.

LOL. I just love that logo. It should be their own. Their style.
Etisalat sucks, yes sure. No argument. Du is going to suck as well, since it’s partly owned by the goverment and the whole blocking sites thing goes along with the “country values…etc”, which is most cases does not make a good ecxuse for blocking certain sites.

I never get bored from sending them hate mails expressing their stupidity.

Hey! Soemtimes the sites get unblocked. But then, back to blocking them all over again.

It’s all f*cked up, anyway.

i wonder who owns etisalat…whoever he is, he has succeded in ripping off everyone who owns a computer or cellfone in the UAE…and du is another piece of shit, theyre not gonna offer better prices, just different packages (eg charging by a bandwith limit or something of the sort)

YouTube at some point was blocked before and then they opened it over again, it was fine till yesterday but now they’ve put filters and have blocked only one page that is the “Age Verification” so you cannot go pass through it anyway.
I so *toot* hate Etisialat. If you’re into 3D modeling then Etisalat is gonna come into your way, they’ll never let you study anatomy of human figures, coz they’re blocked!
We, of course pay more than any other company and whenever I complain about their bad services they turn up and say “Sir, you know Etisalat is the only company in Gulf with lowest rate….” the heck! with the lowest rate and shuff’d phone on the person’s face.

The most funniest part happened to me when I called customer service was I waited 30+ minutes and then at the end a woman answers me and I tell her my problem and she kept on asking over and over again what my problem was without coming up with solution, I got fed up with her and told her to go back join Kindergarten and hung up the phone.

I can go on rant about Etisalat whole year but don’t wanna waste time on them’ suck ups.

Du is yet another Etisalat, they’re just playing with customers with their stupid hopes and lies.
