Yesterday night www.orkut.com and mail.google.com were not loading for me. Well, orkut.com loaded but was slow nad gave errors.
Today all seems fine except for Gmail because its pretty slow

Gmail has not played up on me, but i use pop3 to access gmail - reaching a lot of other sites has, esp https. Sometimes i find it quicker to route through there proxy, other times it times out so I don't bother.

I am always moaning about Etisalat, but largely because its the worst service i have ever experienced. Whoever is in charge of there DNS infrastructure needs a different job.

Everything fine now, Gmail opens at normal speed, Flickr opening at normal browsing speed, the only thing still suffering for me is my friggin Online Gaming. God damn Etisalat, and the people who have'nt fixed those underwater cables as yet.

What about the new player in the telecom field??? They're not going to give any xDSL services or they're only for mobile connections?

I see that from time to time a lot of DF members express their disappointment about the lack of quality regarding Etisalat. I guess monopoly is not a good thing afterall...

Users dont have much choices. If there is competition, for sure each telecom/ISP will be working for the best service.
