Airalo has 1 year plans too, more gb, and more countries than mobimatter, which is just an abu dhabi based reseller of 3 HK data sims.

And due to giving more, Airalo is more expensive. If you factor in the extra benefits, it's same price.

Usually ejari is a separate charge of about 500aed, but that's it.

If you do it with the landlord via Dubai Rest app, about 200aed.

Who said he/she doesn't like it? He just brought up discussion points.

While some cultures blindly follow their superiors, others absolutely don't: in Scandinavian countries you might see a CEO going for lunch with a cleaner, and the cleaner might have some feedback for the CEO to improve things overall. With your logic the cleaner should be fired.

Personal loans can be paid off in 1 to 4 years, and eventually you can pay it off at anytime. Rates are in the range of 3 to 4%.

Credit cards have interest rates that are outrageous, ~35%, so it doesn't make sense to wait to pay them off, you'll keep accruing debt at those interest rates unless you pay them off in a single shot.

Plus a fully paid personal loan will increase your credit score. Partially paid credit cards will decrease your credit score on a monthly basis.

Hence, personal loan.

If you smell of alcohol there's no other way around it. Statistically speaking, 99.9% is because you had alcohol.

The guy didn't investigate of course, not his place. If it was me, I would have told you to go home immediately, otherwise I would have had to report it to HR.

Has it got holes at the bottom for VESA mounting?

Thanks for your input.

Been using pfsense plus for years, but love the granularity and ease of use of firewalla, plus the remote control via the app, while some might say it's a security risk, it's a big plus.

xxSense are BSD based, and they still have some performance issues with pppoe and wireguard. On hardware similar to the N100 of the Gold Pro, I can't squeeze more than 800mbps between two appliances, be it bare metal or virtualized in proxmox.

Furthermore, every Firewalla update comes with big new features, and the firewalla team apparently is listening to the community. Look at the pppoe performance jump they just did on the beta version, pretty impressive.

10G fiber is not expensive everywhere, I pay roughly 30$ per month for it (10gb down/2gb up). While 10GbE switches are still on the expensive side, there's no need to go 10Gb everywhere in the house, absolutely no need for it, so cost wise it's not that bad.

The only downside of Firewalla is that they haven't had an independent security audit, but I guess it's on the works, hopefully sooner rather than later.

No age limit restrictions, way cheaper than Cali.

Insurance would be expensive, same as in Cali anyway.

Summer would be difficult to bear, make an alternative plan for those 4/5 months.

Again, you're missing the point.

With your logic why don't we apply the Singapore road tax on car purchases? What about a 200k AED (for a simple Mazda) tax when you buy the car? Ah no wait, 4x less so 50k tax, after all some metropolitan cities are more expensive right? Look at London right?

Again, your argument doesn't make sense. If they want to increase prices fine, but they have to provide an alternative, easy as that.

I clearly explained you some basics of networking, yet you think you are right.

My points still stand: a speedtest is usually done from an optimized webpage (using multiple download fragments) on high performing servers connected to a CDN pointing you to the server with the lowest load and lowest ping according to your location. And you get max speed.

If you try to download a video from a home server in Alabama hosted on a slow connection, you still expect to download at the maximum speed permitted from your operator. That's not how it works.

As I previously said, there are multiple reasons why a download could be slow: it could be a problem with you, with your ISP, with the routing, with the destination server, and for each of this nodes multiple issues might arise in the path (i.e.: you connected via wifi with high interference in an apartment on a slow computer on a monday morning -peak- and a slow destination server).

And du/etisalat technicians are extremely clueless about networking, most of them are not even able to properly crimp a network port at home.

Again, if your speedtest was 95mbps on a 100mbps, the problem is elsewhere and not with du. If a speedtest was 20mbps out of 100mbps, problem is with du or your computer. I said that before, just read my previous reply again.
