Finally - vpnspeed makes his PPRUNE debũt..!!! Welcome to the forums Mate!!

I am sure you will find many people on here who need your services.

I can confirm vpnspeed is the real deal. He already offers me some services and I will be testing the new service once it is up and running. I can certainly vouch that he is a genuine guy.

Contact him by PM for more info.

I am using a free VPN which is working well so far. It's not HSS.
PM me if you want the details.

Very Sad News

To all those people who were in contact with VPNSPEED regarding his plan to set up a fast vpn server for all of us in Dubai...

I am sad to announce that he took his own life two weeks ago. He was a very good friend of mine and will be sorely missed by my family and I.

To all of you who were in contact with him - I am sorry to say his project will not be continued by his brother (who has no interest in such matters).

May he rest in peace.

@Ynot,

If you have Skype already installed on your computer, it will work. you do not need a vpn to connect.

I'd just like to say thank you to Etisalat for upgrading my building from DSL to fibre optic at no charge. I definitely notice an improvement in porn download speeds.

Hi can anyone recommend (pvt msg) a good VPN?

I'm currently with one now, but only get around 2mb IF my elife Etisalat connection is running at 8mb (on speedtest.net). As we speak i'm barely getting 3mb, which is the slowest its ever been for me. Does high usage/evening affect fibre optics?

Would upgrading to 16mb in theory get me faster VPN spds?

Also does etisalat 'throttle' video streaming? Watching my slingbox here at times is impossible yet back home the the upstream is a constant 1.5mb. The relatively slow VPN also makes watching bbc iplayer virtually impossible too.

Does DU throttle? I hope that third provider starting next year might improve things inshallah but i doubt it

Thanks for any tips

Anybody else experiencing VERY slow internet downloads since the start of Ramadan? Especially torrents and Usenet. I'm on FOTH 16MB and it slows to a crawl during the day. Right now the best is 180KB/s, normally 1,84MB/s.
