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! 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 never set up a Virtual Private Network! ?

Thanks. A couple of hundred is do-able, but the cheapest I've seen is 379, and at that cost, I'd be content just to get a 3Gb/mth package on my phone. Do you know who is offering deals at less than that?

What I mean is that in the UK, having paid the Amazon Prime membership you get access to only about 10% of their content. The rest is just pay per view. So it's not a popular service - everyone uses Netflix. Regarding the cost of home broadband, since we use it only to watch Netflix, then we pay £5.99/mth for Netflix itself, and £24.99/mth for broadband, so £372/yr (US$483/yr). To do this in the UAE would cost over $1,500/yr, so I'd favour a DVD library. I watch maybe 30 or 40 movies a year, you see, so at $10/movie, that's okay. $40/movie isn't.

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 excellent, Amazon Prime is a bottom tier budget trash here in the UK. Just paying for the right to rent movies!! Add the $1500/year to the $120 Prime subscription, it's paramount to paying US$1620/year DVD rental store membership. We can't possibly justify that.

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?
