I also notice the price is about $150 CAD per month for a 4mbit connection.
I know Dubai could do better, they could get direct peering through Canada, Europe and Asia to improve speeds. They should invest in fibre routes to the closest internet hubs in the region and offer 1gbit to the home. I know Dubai has the ability and potential to this and this will truly make them a world marvel and player in the telecom industry by bringing the fastest broadband speeds in the world home.
In comparison I can reach anywhere in Europe in less than 100 MS and most places in Asia in less than 260 ms (sometimes even 160 ms).
