I work in one place 5 days a week and spend my 2 days off in another. I currently have ADSL in the 5 day venue and nothing at the 2 day venue. I couldn't see myself spending another Dhs 150, but I could see myself biting the bullet to pay Dhs 99. So, is this the customer demand their talking about it?B.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03604898558343997616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-1163607278055956032006-11-15T20:14:00.000+04:002006-11-15T20:14:00.000+04:00Lets not forget the most important thing here!

It cost Dhs 150 per month for unlimited usage at the lowest speed, I believe. Comparatively Dhs 100 for a limited 15 hours does not make any sense.
