And it is NOT censored. it is pricey in comparison, I think our package runs about 300-400 SR a month (forget its been years since I signed up) There is a limit on downloads, fair usage policy which is a huge rip off in this region. but unless you do heavy downloads every day it isn't an issue. <BR/><BR/>But you have to have Orbit television to get the service.Ann Tamimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915646056815128431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-50393741242240433612008-09-28T16:08:00.000+03:002008-09-28T16:08:00.000+03:00Going to Geant, Naddooi, to see if they have any b...Going to Geant, Naddooi, to see if they have any bleach. None at the stores - the grocery stores... It has been ordered and should be here any day, In Shallah. Sometimes I think that if ONE MORE PERSON says that to me, then I am going to have to grab them by the throat and shake them silly!<BR/><BR/>I'll let you know if we have to come over - and I'll grab Always, first. That is, of course, assuming [big assumption, there!] that we have them.Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099972141312539283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-4003212522152435542008-09-28T14:17:00.000+03:002008-09-28T14:17:00.000+03:00Wow, no bleach, that's weird!

I'm sure we have some in Bahrain, at least, I see it in the house, so it must be in one of the stores around here! hehehe<BR/><BR/>Of course, I must say there are some products here that started going missing for a while, namely "Always" ... it just disappeared, i scoured the supermarkets and small corner stores all over just to find some!<BR/><BR/>So on your way here, bring some! heheheAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-65595219103794367102008-09-28T07:32:00.000+03:002008-09-28T07:32:00.000+03:00Nope.

What do you mean you have "censored free internet service?" Censor-free? and you pay for the service, or "censored" and the service is free? Just curious. How much additional is it to the Orbit satellite TV charges???Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099972141312539283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-81816437193589001032008-09-27T13:09:00.000+03:002008-09-27T13:09:00.000+03:00oh.. should add orbit is not blocked.

There are many, many sites we cannot get to. I understand if you have internet via your television satellite that sites are not blocked, but our service is through a company which blocks all sorts of things that "they" don't think we should see.<BR/><BR/>As to whether or not I am doing something that "they" want to have done, that is a really good question.
