Comment (by mwolfe):

 The UAE has at least two ISPs. I see ads for Virgin, but I'm not sure if
 it's another ISP, or just a tool for one or both of the two I know. The
 two are du, which was used for your tests, and the other is Etisalat,
 eim.ae or etisalat.ae (that's the one I use).

 All the info about blocks was related to du, but the blocks would be the
 same for both (both du and Etisalat must run everything through the
 Telecommunications Regulatory Agency, or TRA). When du started, about 15
 years ago, it was only in Free Zones, and so didn't have any blocks, but
 then pressure to have two nationwide ISPs got du to offer Internet and
 phone services all over, and it got the same blocks Etisalat has always
 had.

 I'm glad someone was able to run the tests safely from a .ca account.
