you need to find out if your area is du or etisalat, we have 1mb broadband and its about AED 350 a month, not cheap but it works well. You have to find one of the etisalat buildings, go in, tell them what you want, fill in forms with copies of passports, tenancy agreement etc etc and wait for them to come and do it, the website is shite and its a bit of a process to be honest.
