Nope, well sort of. There is also Sahm, but that is only available to residents of Emaar developments.

As for the rest of dubai, welcome to the world of UAE gov't controlled monopolies. Basically, how they make all their money without taxes.

Yes they could easily be blocking it, as they are in the habit of blocking sites with "inappropriate" content. If you think a site is blocked and shouldn't be then a call to their customer service department should get it unblocked. I don't know how well that works as I use Sahm.

That isn't a picture of your sister at the bottom of your posts is it? :scared:

Back in the UK, 2Mb would cost you anything from 15-30 quid per month.

As a captive customer of Sahm, I'd have to cough up 150 quid per month for 2Mb :scared:
