Notice: Internet Downtime

On the 29th of this month, Kuwait’s MOC will be going through some maintenance to reroute and allocate higher internet traffic through Saudi Arabia. This is due to some recent cabling issues between Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and the UAE. The maintenance period will last until the 8th of July, and it is believed that Qualitynet users will be the first to suffer from the downtime.

Update: Alwatan Article

I hope this means higher bandwidth for the future. On the bright side, Dewaniya Net is nearing its final testing phase so even if we’re isolated from the rest of the world, we can still share :P

Update: Al-Qabas Article reports that there won’t be any downtime?

I got the chance today to cancel the jumper and apply for a lite DSL account at United Networks. When I went to pay the land-line fees, the grumpy lady behind the desk asked what my relation was to the owner. “She’s my mom.”, I explained with a smile. For some reason she didn’t look very convinced but didn’t ask for an ID anywho. :/
