broadband is essential to support an increasing number of Internet-capable
devices in the home. At Etisalat, we are committed to deliver blazing internet
speeds, exclusive and rich TV content at the most competitive prices.”

entry-level plan, ‘eLife Starter’ will now offer 250 Mbps; The unlimited Sports
and Entertainment plans offer 500 Mbps and with Premium plans offer speeds
towards 1 Gbps.
Existing
customers of the older generation of eLife triple play plans called ‘eLife
value packs (Family, Sports, Entertainment, Combo and Premium) will also enjoy
a speed doubling.

Unlimited’ allows subscribers to enjoy all the premium content from major TV
broadcasters, media and content companies such as MBC, OSN and StarzPlay on one
box to ensure non-stop entertainment is delivered to every household in the
country.
