New Qualitynet block page, now with cats!

Qualitynet have updated their block page so if you go to say playboy.com you will get the following message:

And this URL:
https://blocked.qualitynet.net/blocked/index.php?cat=0

Now if you change the last number from 0 to say 1 you get a different message for example go to:
https://blocked.qualitynet.net/blocked/index.php?cat=1
You will notice a message added which is “Category: Pornography”

If you replace it with a 2 you get:
https://blocked.qualitynet.net/blocked/index.php?cat=2
Category: Gambling

Got it? Well this is where it gets interesting, if you replace that number with anything from 4 and up you get LOLCATS!

For example I replaced it with 19:
https://blocked.qualitynet.net/blocked/index.php?cat=19

And I got:

An ISP with a sense of humor, pretty cool.

Thanks larogue for discovering this

Update: It no longer works, Qualitynet removed the lolcats πŸ™

well the bad english and saying your bandwidth belongs to us and i will die if you don’t unblock seems like a stupid thing.

ISP with the sense of stupidity , the Qualified staff were kicked out due to economic crisis !! , Qnet is selling internet , what kind of crisis u`ll face as a company ? losing people cuz of weak service , they look for cheap employees to save big bonuses for general managers , one of the old general managers was sending all his bills to the company even the laundry !! what u wait from mean company ?
i hope the MOC increase the ISP`s so that we can choose and the competition increased ,,

this is my first time reading your blog and i spend an hour reading more that 25 pages and i`m interesting in reading more , good job , and keep up the good work ,
good luck

regards,

I’m really having a bad time with Qnet πŸ™

I’m dafently will look for other Internet provider once my contract is finished.

The problem is when you used to have a better service and faster Internet for years then you switch to this slow expansive unstable ones!

We almost 2010 and we still using 1mb speed! Furthermore with extra blocking stuff!! What a shame!

A good idea to take the sting of running into an unnecessarily blocked site, so instead of cursing “F*%K YOU [insert ISP here]!!” you go…. aaaaww, cute little kitty cat!

Have you ever noticed, that whenever there is a high profile diplomatic mission visiting the country, internet censorship is suspended?

Someone suggested, that it’s because ‘they’ don’t want to interfere with the mission’s communications or so as not to show the international community how oppressed Kuwait is.

China did the same kind of thing during the Olympics.

I didnt get the lolcats page but I did get this msg
“By order of the Ministry of Communication based on Section 1, Article 7 of decree Law No. (2000/103) regarding the license restriction for Internet Service Providers in the State of Kuwait, this website has been blocked. If you feel this may be an error, please fill in the form.”

That’s awesome, too bad the went from being the best ISP in Kuwait to being one of the worst. Man this always happens to kuwaiti companies when they become successful.

By the way, just a follow up question, anyone knows why tagged.com is blocked here in kuwait??? or anyone out there knows what is inside this ministry law

“By order of the Ministry of Communication based on Section 1, Article 7 of decree Law No. (2000/103) regarding the license restriction for Internet Service Providers in the State of Kuwait.

What is it with this law that blocks some networking site???
