Hi,
We're due to arrive in Dubai in three weeks and are in the process of having an internet connection installed.
I see that Du and Etisalat have a cartel and set prices at obscene levels, so wondered if a cost effective solution exists? I only need a home connection to connect to Netflix, so frankly if I can't do that we have no need of a home TV or internet package at all. Is Netflix available in Dubai? Is the program selection any good, or is it much more restrictive?
In the UK, we're used to paying about US$30-35 for a 20Mbps connection, and although I'm not expecting to be able to keep paying normal "rest of World" prices whilst in Dubai, I'd like advice on what solutions are available at a price that isn't totally insane.
Thanks!

Thanks! Looked on line, and it seems Du's cheapest package is 379 or £79. Or about 3x the price of the rest of the World! I've used a proxy server before to get UK Netflix whilst in Singapore, but ...

Just opt for du's basic landline/internet option for less than 300 Dhs I think? Then use the internet to watch Netflix - but if you're wanting to use UK and other accounts, you will need the v-shal...

Thanks. Done a little bit of research and there seems to be a local one - Duflix in Al Barsha. So going to hold off and see whether that's a more cost effective option.
TBH, whilst Netflix is ex...

Thanks guys. I think we'll try going without then. We have data on mobile phones. Are dvd rental shops a thing over there to supply video entertainment?
