Best Dubai Internet Packages for Home: Etisalat Vs du

Are you look­ing for the best Dubai inter­net pack­ages for your home? It is not dif­fi­cult to find this because there are only two inter­net ser­vice providers in Dubai: Du and Eti­salat. Both net­works offer home inter­net pack­ages in the UAE. Whether you need a new inter­net con­nec­tion for your home, want to know the cost of Wifi or inter­net or want to change providers, you can use our com­par­i­son guide.

How to get Internet Packages for Home in UAE: Etisalat and du

If you are look­ing for the best Dubai inter­net pack­ages for your home, you can quick­ly get a new con­nec­tion by apply­ing online with Eti­salat or Du. If you don’t know, here are the com­plete steps:

You must have a res­i­den­tial or Emi­rates ID to apply for a new con­nec­tion. If you haven’t, you can apply for a new con­nec­tion using your fam­i­ly mem­bers, friends, and busi­ness part­ners, who will take com­plete respon­si­bil­i­ty for this. You must pay an advance or acti­va­tion fee for a new home con­nec­tion.

If you are already a mem­ber of Eti­salat or Du, you can get WiFi for your home with­out any require­ments. You have to apply for a new con­nec­tion, and you will receive a WiFi router or a data SIM card at your home with­in 24 hours.

The poli­cies for res­i­dents and non-res­i­dents are dif­fer­ent in the UAE. If you are a vis­i­tor or come to the UAE for work, then you have to pro­vide com­plete doc­u­ments, which are giv­en below:

• Your Orig­i­nal Pass­port
• Work per­mit or Con­tract
• Visa
• Emi­rates ID
• An advance-fee of a min­i­mum of AED 200–500 (depend­ing on the con­nec­tion)
• Busi­ness Own­ers need a cer­tifi­cate or reg­is­tra­tion copy.

Both com­pa­nies, Eti­salat and Du, pro­vide 4G and 5G WiFi routers for home con­nec­tions. So, any­one can get this and use it any­where in the UAE.

Remem­ber that you can­not move your device from one loca­tion to anoth­er after acti­vat­ing the con­nec­tion. Doing this will lock your inter­net con­nec­tion, and you must call the inter­net provider to update or change the loca­tion.

I am show­ing you all the home inter­net plans, includ­ing val­ue-added ser­vices like TV, call­ing, and much more. Both providers offer fibre and WiFi inter­net ser­vices on a 12-month con­tract, but Du has con­tract and non-con­tract plans for all cus­tomers.
