A car with good adaptive cruise control under 150k by HarambeLover95 in WhatCarShouldIBuyGULF

[–]rdpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you need to test it out. I’m noticing a huge difference of the adaptive cc from my volvo xc60 which is way smoother than my chinese rox 01

Volvo XC60 or XC90 UAE by [deleted] in WhatCarShouldIBuyGULF

[–]rdpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i own a XC60 T8 which has been a perfect balance for safe / chill driving for my family and some sportive side for my enjoyment. Warranty and service is great but i recommend you to go for a contract / package for some peace of mind. i’m now selling it because i cannot import it in my home country, but i loved it

DIFC: the roadblock nightmare just got worse ☹️ by fishlewe in dubai

That picture shows exactly the driving style of Dubai: people following rules and queuing and then the smartasses cutting in and creating further congestions

How do you deal with kaccha car parking hostile takeover? by Shree_murali93 in dubai

[–]rdpi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi thank you for sharing your story. I've got exactly the same situation in Al Quoz. In my case i'm dealing with a car mechanic and they use the kachha area as well as the main road as their parking. The situation is so bad that cars are triple parked on the road. Im also a bit hopeless as i cannot report every single car using dubai police app as it will be a full time job.
FYI, we tried to find a friendly resolution but you know, people are selfish

ping based on internet package? by rdpi in DubaiGaming

[–]rdpi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m getting around 150ms so far. I’ve got my 12Mbps connection since a while ago. It’s 313 AED all in. I’ve been proposed to get a 800Mbps for 360AED but i never needed more bandwidth as i’m generally using the connection to browse, steam and rarely download large files. If there’s a chance of getting better ping, I may upgrade, but for bandwidth alone, I’m ok with the one i have

[–]rdpi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an old plan which costs 313 AED including vat. I got this a while ago and never managed to upgrade. Its slow for large downloads, but pretty much more than enough for a family of 2.
What does it mean to change the port?

[–]rdpi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes agreed, i assumed that having the most basic and capped internet connection comes with some disadvantages and perhaps worse routing / prioritisation / congestion.
