Joining the conversation in this thread aswell, havent been able to log in since Wednesday 25th, contacted Etisalat, contacted Se. They have confirmed alot of people in the 'region' have this problem.
If it is like XeinoLoco mentioned a packet loss, and we need to disable the firewall from etisalat, then best thing is we put pressure on them through the TRA, or directly to one of the directors. After all if Du isnt firewalling this then why are they??
Gd luck to you all, hopefully this problem will be resolved soon and thank you for all the info and effort.
