internet problems kuwait-wide

it seems that the internet has been spotty all over the country since yesterday. when i say spotty, i mean that you have no service for 30 seconds followed by spurts for 20 seconds or so.

further investigation indicates that this internet problem is through kuwait's fragile internet gateway (shamefully dependant upon one or two other gulf states exclusively). this chronic breakdown would not go unnoticed in more developed places (among other things). down with monopolies!
