Living in Dubai is exciting, but also comes with its challenges, especially when it comes to choosing the right internet and home services. Whether you’re a busy professional working from home or a family juggling kids’ schoolwork, entertainment, and your own work, having reliable and fast internet is non-negotiable.
That’s where Etisalat’s eLife and internet plans come into play. In this guide, we’ll break down the options available and help you find the right plan to suit your lifestyle, whether you’re working from home or just looking for the best entertainment options.
If you’ve lived in the UAE for any length of time, you’ve probably heard of Etisalat. It’s the largest telecom provider in the country, offering everything from mobile plans to broadband and home services. eLife is Etisalat’s bundle that combines internet, TV, and landline services in one convenient package. It’s designed to meet the growing needs of modern households, where fast internet, entertainment, and reliable communication are a must.
The eLife plan isn’t just about having internet; it’s about having a complete package that makes life easier. Imagine not having to manage separate bills for your internet, TV, and landline services. Instead, you get everything on one bill, all bundled into a service that can be customized to fit your exact needs.
I remember when I first moved into my place here in Dubai. One of the things that really stood out to me was the convenience of having everything in one bundle. I signed up for the eLife plan, which included internet, TV, and a landline. The speeds were fantastic, and I got to watch all my favorite TV shows without buffering (which, let’s be honest, is a total game-changer). I even got a discount on installation for signing up online—something I wasn’t expecting but appreciated!
If you’re like me and value convenience and efficiency, then eLife is a good choice. It offers flexibility, so you can easily change your plan as your needs evolve. And whether you’re streaming, working from home, or just browsing, Etisalat ensures that you stay connected without interruptions.
Etisalat has more than 23 plans available, but they all fall under a few categories. Let’s break them down so you can find the right one.
For many people, internet speed is the deciding factor. Whether you’re a professional attending virtual meetings or you’re at home streaming movies and gaming, you’ll need something fast. Etisalat offers a range of internet speeds, from 250 Mbps all the way up to 10Gbps.
If you’re unsure which plan is right for you, I’d recommend Ultra Fusion if you have a family. It has great speed and plenty of channels for everyone. And I can tell you from personal experience that having a high-speed connection makes all the difference when working from home.
For those who need both internet and landline services, Etisalat offers Double Play plans. These are ideal for people who just need internet and a landline connection. But, if you want to add TV to the mix, you can opt for Triple Play, which bundles internet, TV, and landline services.
When I first signed up for Etisalat, I didn’t know about the great deals available for new customers. If you’re considering an upgrade or signing up for the first time, Etisalat often has amazing promotions. Right now, for example, they’re offering free installation (worth AED 199) and bill discounts for 6 months on many of their plans.

Additional Notes:
Choosing the right eLife plan depends on your lifestyle and how much internet you use. Here are a few tips based on different needs:
If you’re spending most of your day on Zoom or collaborating with teams online, a fast and reliable internet connection is a must. The Ultra Sports or Ultra Fusion plans are great for this. They provide speeds up to 1Gbps, and with the added benefit of TV and landline, you have everything you need for work and home entertainment.
With kids home from school or enjoying their favorite shows, Ultra Fusion or Unlimited Entertainment would be great choices. Both plans offer high-speed internet and lots of premium TV channels, so everyone can do what they need to do without causing a slowdown. And, of course, having a landline means you won’t have to worry about your mobile phone bills piling up.
If you’re someone who loves gaming or streaming movies in 4K, the eLife 10G plan with 10Gbps internet speed should be on your radar. It’s the fastest option available and will ensure smooth streaming, gaming, and video conferencing without interruptions.
