Last weekend for about 4 hours, the Du filter was 90% off... lots of dodgy and unislamic sites were unblocked, the only site that gave the yellow warning page was flickr!

what is it with them banning flickr?! There are loads of nice, happy pictures and plants and landscapes and stuff on it... nothing subversive!

I called 101, spoke to a very nice person in internet section and tried to explain to him that there seems to be a problem with Etisalat and that lots of people in different areas are experiencing the SAME problem.
Randomly sites are not loading but the bar at the bottom shows that it is "done"

He then asked me to check my modem, check my connection etc..I again explained that it wasn't my problem it was etisalat's. He asked me which site would not load I said errr they are random..........and that lots of people were having the same problem.
I told him that I just wanted to know if they had had other reports from people about this because I know about 15 people with the same problem..........
he asked me to tell him my modem model and port number...........yet again....having given him all the details he asked for...I said ..it is NOT my connection............This is happening RANDOMLY to lots of people in different areas...........he said he understood that but could I tell him which webpage wouldn't load!!! WHAT PART OF RANDOM DO YOU FAIL TO UNDERSTAND????????????
Anyway I thanked him nicely and hung up!!!!
*patsy pours a glass of the bubbly stuff!!!! ( an early wine o'clock for me!!:D)

P.S. Can you all call 101 and tell them you are having this problem lol
