K... as in "Kolumbia"

I moved into my apartment last Friday.  Everyone else in my building has cable and internet up already.  I do not.  I have called Etisalat (the monopoly phone, cable, and internet service here) and, well, it was quite an experience.
In verifying my username "Skranz" the guy said, "S as in Sam, K as in Kolumbia..."
The hardest letter was "z".  He thought it was a "v" or a "d".  I later learned that the letter z is pronounced differently here.  Go figure.
The bottom line is that I still don't have internet and have no idea when I'll get it.
