Downtown is all DU as are all Emmar developments |
| arniegang |
| All Emaar Developments are Freezones as are Nakheel and Damac But not all downtown is freezone |
| The Major |
| The offically named 'Downtown' is all freezone! |

| Has Face Book finally become a victim if Etisalats silly blocking rules? Everyone I know in the UAE now seems to experience problems with the site, yet people in other countries report it as working fine. What's going on.....? FB addict :( |

| gtmash |
| I having problems too. I etisalat. |
| dave101 |
| its still working, in a text only interface kind of way, you can still navigate, i dont think it is blocked. yet |

| Yep it is screwed.but i dont think its something etisalat has done.. They may b having some trouble with their hosting server. now.. chocs can u please suggest some course/uni in the tv, movie production, entertainment fields.. |
| real_foxy |
| yep it is screwed.. it's almost going to be screwed. . xxx If you just observed what happened to the other community online site before it's been blocked. This is exactly as what is happenning now to facebook. Almost same with Zorpia, hi5, and myspace. In myspace, If you will checked the peeps in UAE all of their photos are X marked. Well, It's a diff case if you are in DMC, DIC, etc. You can access averything on there. |

| Definately buggered. Bloody Etisalat! Leave us alone! |

| i hate etisalat, gonna give du a chance |
| gtmash |
How? Etisalat and Du have marked their own separate territories for ISP service. Like pimps. |
| ^ian^ |
Apparently at the end of this year you will be able to choose. Apparently. |
| arniegang |
| My understanding is that DU will only be able to operate IT and Cable and landline services in Freezones therefore only competing with DIC. |
| Bleakus |
| i checked yesterday and they said that they are able to provide fixed line and internet for customers gotta check it out ;) |
| sage & onion |
Du is already operating my landline m8, BTW facebook is fine with me |
| arniegang |
| Sage you are in a freezone ya numpty, so yes you can have DU or DIC. :lol: Most of downtown/deira/mirdiff etc etc cannot have DU or DIC, well thats my understanding as i said. |

Hehe, like how etisalad promised per-second charging before du came online. And then a few weeks ago, in gulfnews, the etisalad boss says "we will do it if there is demand." Yes, we enjoy paying for the entire 30 seconds when we make 10 second calls. |

| I tried it from an Etisalat line today and it all functioned normally. |
| gtmash |
Yeah, it works now. |
