Internet VERY SLOW!!!! ISP = Gulfnet

For the last 7 days, the internet has been VERY SLOW!!!!

I’m talking about barely loading pages. 30 minutes buffering for 2 seconds of youtube video loaded. Gmail DOES NOT open! I cannot download anything because the speed is at 1 kb/s! NO JOKE!

So, I decided to call Gulfnet and ask them about it. I ask the gulfnet rep about the slow internet and he says theres a wire cut in bahrain or some bullshit lie like that.

Why do I think it’s a lie? Because at uni, the ISP is Gulfnet and the internet is 100% fine and going full speed. So I tell the rep this, and you know what he says? He says, thats cause the service at uni is a corporate account and is unaffected.

I was like, um, what? Because they have a corporate account their internet is just fine? The gulfnet rep said yes. I said, well how is it your excuse for my internet being really slow is because a wire thats cut in bahrain that is affecting all the internet in Kuwait, but SOMEHOW, MAGICALLY, it DOESN’T affect the internet speed of a corporate account.

He said, thats just how it is. He said it should be resolved by Saturday or Sunday.

I was like, um yeah, okay, said thanks, and closed the phone.

If by Sunday the internet is still this slow, I’m calling up and going to say I want reimbursement of some kind, because this is ridiculous, and they’re lying to me or hiding the truth somehow.
