[Eric Aligula]

Are these not “quality of Service Issues” that we should increasingly be paying more attention to?

Hallo Washington,

 

There are a lot of factors to consider before public declarations can be made such as the internet was down be it from the ISPs or government. In your case there may have been last mile access challenges but that still does not imply that everyone using that particular operator was down. It is advisable to contact the specific operator technical support team for assistance since it could only be a particular area of service that is affected for various technical reasons.

 

Hello Fiona,

 

I completely concur with you on this.

In my case, I just decided to go and sleep instead of calling them:-)
