For the past 2 days I have been having issues connecting to mark248am1.wpenginepowered.com and some other sites like adobe.com with my Qualitynet connection. Is anyone else having this problem? Its connecting but after a really long period..
2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

Woah you’re right. Many sites have problems connecting it takes a real long time compared to before like this site and even yahoo. and I have 1mbit connection. But sites like torrentleech load immediately. I have come to this conclusion.
Qualitynet = Screwing us over
Yeah I have been having the same problem. Your site took forever to load as did a few others. I think it might be maintenance related because we had similar trouble at work and the provider was conducting their scheduled maintenance.
It just thier Firewall the blocks all the Porno etc..
Try PeerGuradian2
I thot only I am facing the problem….I called Qnet last night and this morning to report this…and they told me.. the same “recorded”, “taught” message….can you reboot? can you restart can you unplug the wire and put it back? can you check how many telephones you have at home….whats your civil ID number….I said thank you and hungup…whatelse can we do?
I hate to change to FT….
well the real problem is 2 of the international sub-marine (there 4 total) cables having problems so the full region link to the world is congested.
BTW what blocks the porn site is not a firewall in Qnet
kems and fasttelco have teh same problem
Tweego
Same issues since like Saturday, but the strange part is KuwaitBlogs.com and 2by4.org and yours are all hosted on Dreamhost. Only yours takes forever to load.
this service will never straighten up.. move back to KEMS and be happy.. I am there for the past 8-9 years, without a hitch…
nibaq, 248AM is NOT hosted on Dreamhost…
tango qualitynet wasn’t there 8-9 years ago …so I guess u didn’t try any of the other companies?
and btw all providers in kuwait have the same problem
‘some’ sites take unusually long and some don’t. Seems like a random thing?
yeah i was thinking something is wrong
The international sub-marine cables having problems so the full region link to the world is congested and this causes this slowness… especially the east, since the west is not effected that much with this problem..
Thank GOD that we’re able to browse “with some slowness”.., BTW, many other ISPs in the other countries are not able to browse at all due to this problem.
I’ve heard that this problem supposed to be solved yesterday “May 28th”.. But they faced some troubles “weather conditions” and they’ll re-try to fix the sub-marine cables’ damage by tomorrow..
Yes I have had problems with connecting or page loading for the past week.
Dude easy with the conspiracy theories…
ure blog isnt that damaging to qualitynet !
Anon no one is coming up with conspiracy theories. As you can read from the comments its a problem thats effects a couple of websites not just 248am. Even I mentioned Adobe..
To add to the stuff about the underground cables; phase1 was completed on the 24th.. phase 2 was completed on the 28th. The link in the atlantic went down.
Where is Superman when you need him!
superman is too busy wrapped up in the glitz and glamour of hollywood
dude .. it takes forever to connect 🙁 … and i agree with anyone who said quality net is out to get mark .. this has been going on for a couple fo weeks around the same time period mark was callng them for a refund:S
the question is, why the fuck are they using sub marina mall cables for downlink instead of satellites like every other telecommunication company in the world?
holla: Nobody uses satellites as a link to the backbone; the speeds (~155 Mbps) are too slow and the latency (time it takes for a package or packet of data to move across a network connection) is too high.
Sattelites are used by telecommunication companies to provide connectivity to countries without proper cabling (third world) and as backup links when the sub-marine cables are not up.
it arouses them i guess 😛
anyway u can expect anything to come from our great ISP, qualityshit, even with all its problems and flaws, it still remains the best choice when compared with other ISP’s here…that is the sad truth
offfff i`m facing this problem for the last 2 days , i don`t know what`s wrong with this guys (quality net) maybe they hate you :p~
i’m on fasttelco and don’t have this problem
Been having it for a few days really, ever since Thursday I believe and it’s been pissing me off :/
Qualitynet uses Teleglobe network.
If there is a slowness in the Internet you can find out where it caused by doing a trace route to any ip in US or EU.
I always do check this ip (typing the command in “Run” from the startmenu) : tracert 80.239.181.53

==============================
The first three nodes are in Kuwait (qnet servers). and the ping should not go higher than 30ms.
The forth node is in KSA (where the teleglobe’s region cable located) and the ping should not exceed 50ms.
The fifth node is in NY,USA where the main data-center is located. and the ping shouldn’t go higher than 300ms.
The rest are random nodes your packet travels though to reach the site.
So you can now know the exact cause of your Internet slowness by finding the node that has higher ping than average.
cooool thanks
Pcman:
While the submarine cable was down(or instable) the ping rates remained within the norm (~1 – 300ms). I believe the link caused an issue with the routing of the packets, rather than it being down (or slow). If you were to re-route your packets while this problem was going on (using vpn/proxy); then you would have bypassed the slowdowns.
And currently the ISPs that are affected are Zajil and Qualitynet. Fasttelco is operating on the ‘flagtel’ link.
And for the record; the first cable was fixed on the 24th of May. The second cable was fixes on the 28th of May. Therefore, if you are still experiencing slow downs .. it is probably something else.
KtheKuwaiti:
U’re right, the cable was fixed on May 28th, but unfortunately that the problem accured again and they’re working on re-solving it..
Note: Flagtel sucks.. they always have major problems with their links
