Yup, I’ve been having slow internet for weeks so doubt I’m gonna notice a difference
Can it get slower?
I have tried zain viva and oredoo from egaila all at the same time they all are slow sometimes I go to 3g to increase the speed! I seldom get better than 3 meg from 2pm to well after 2 am.
SUX SUX SUX
I miss my 60 meg constant connection in the country (not in town) back home
It’s been slow for a while on Qualitynet. Maybe it’s just me.
Yup same here on Qualitynet, For me its been slow since few weeks.
GBI have come out with a press release stating that their maintenance work will not affect internet speeds. Like you said, internet has been crap for a few weeks now.
