tina kamal Member # 13845	posted According to the spokesman for Flag Telecom, while a repair ship is already en route to assess the damage, it could take as long as two or more weeks before the cable can be repaired, and regular Internet service restored to the region.
Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted Tina, do you mean right now no one even started the repair???

"...In a separate statement, FLAG Telecom reported that a different undersea internet cable, FALCON, also belonging to the company, had been cut Friday at 0559 GMT at a location 56 km from Dubai, on a stretch between the United Arab Emirates and Oman in the Persian Gulf..." What a disappointing situation! How one clumsy ship cut off the web for 75 million people http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2008/feb/01/internationalpersonalfinancebusiness.internet
tina kamal Member # 13845	posted yes walid said 2 more cables have been cut in the gulf so maybe more time they will need to fix this issue

Thanks for the link Micky. I haven't tried them yet, but plan to when my current one runs out. They look pretty similar to what I've been getting though.
harankash Member # 14248	posted CNN yesterday said the cable cuts could be SABOTAGE!!! Maybe something to do with Rafah crossing?? Anyhow the Minister of Communications in yesterdays paper said all internet companies HAVE to refund ONE months subscription to Internet users even if they were slow or disconnected for even ONE day. : )

Why do you simply not say my husband? Anyway, most of Egypt has internet now.
Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted Simply because tina is not married to Walid - yet!
