[General] "دو" الإمارات تطلق أسرع إنترنت للمنازل - Du launches fastest internet connectivity for home users

actually , i kinda have a good idea about their infra structure, and to be
honest, they haven't reached even 20 % of their capacity, zain is good, but
when you involve natting for clients in such a huge network, things could
take a messy turn, though their backbone is well managed and secured, but on
the other hand, viva is giving each customer a "Real IP address" which gives
you endless funcionality and network flexibility  "am sure network guys know
what am talking about" . if you wana compare them you have to try both :D
and am glad i did
