Problems with STC Afaq DSL Shamil

May 21, 2009  |  Saudi Internet

Strange problems are happening with some STC AFAQ DSL Shamil servers. It used to happen on some websites depending on your IP address. But now there is a problem with all HTTP connections on some of STC servers. You can still ping but no HTTP access.

Check your IP address from your DSL modem admin page or simply visit this website (but since you are offline then this site will be useless). If your IP address is one of the following: 94.99.119.* / 94.99.22.* / 94.99.117.* (there are others but those are the ones that I confirmed) simply disconnect and reconnect and you will get a new IP address. I have confirmed that the following IP addresses work: 77.31.250.* / 77.30.90.* / 94.97.48.*.

STC as usual isn’t helping. How can you tell them that some of their proxy servers (I assume) are broken. Just keep those IP numbers in mind.

  1. could you believe it i call them for 1mb connection and they give me 512
    and charged me 1mb they mention there will be no installation fee for SAR 300 .BUT THEY ARE CHARGING IT .
    i call them many times and very very bad service looks like they just want to get the hand in your pocket …
    so my advice is wait for another land line user don’t go for stc they will never listen or hear you …
    one of the worst companies in the internet business

    DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS…

    I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS COMPLICATED LINGO.. CAN SOMEONE PLZ EXPLAIN/SUGGEST ME IN SIMPLE WORDS WHAT I SHOULD PURCHASE IF I WANT INTERNET ON THE GO FOR MY MACBOOK PRO? TO BE MAINLY USED FOR SKYPE AND YOUTUBE? I DONT WANT BLURRY SLOW QUALITY VIDEO ON SKYPE. SO WHICH KIND OF USB MODEM SHOULD I PURCHASE WITH HOW MANY GB FOR UNLIMITED SKYPE USAGE?

    I TRIED LINKSYS BROADBAND FOR HOME INTERNET
    MOBILY WIMAX BROADBAND FOR HOME INTERNET

    BOTH HAD POOR WIFI CONNECTION. I HAD TO LITERALLY SIT NEXT THE BOX FOR A MEDIOCRE SPEED.

    SINCE I TRULY WANTED A WIRELESS SERVICE, I PURCHASED ZAIN USB MODEM WHICH OFFERED UNLIMITED NET WITH 7.2MBPS FOR SR399/MONTH. 3 DAYS INTO IT AND SO FAR I AM UNABLE TO OPEN SKYPE, YAHOO MESSENGER, YAHOO PAGE, GMAIL, YOUTUBE. BASICALLY NOTHING BUT A ZAIN PAGE OPENS UP.

    SIGNAL STRENGTH IS SHOWING TO BE VERY STRONG BUT NO NET DESPITE “CONNECTED”… NOW IN LESS THAN 10 DAYS, I AM BUYING YET ANOTHER SETUP IN HOPE FOR BETTER INTERNET.. HIGH SPEED AND BETTER VIDEO QUALITY (IF SKYPE STARTS THAT IS) …

    WHEN CONTACTED CUSTOMER ZAIN’S CUSTOMER CARE, THEY TOLD ME TO CHANGE MY BLACKBERRY HANDSET AND MACBOOK PRO WHICH I HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED. I DONT THINK SO———-!!!

    SO THE LAST ON THE LIST THAT I HAVENT TRIED YET IS STC– NOW CAN SOMEONE (STC USER) HONESTLY SUGGEST ME HOW THEIR SERVICE IS? ARE THEY SCUMS LIKE THE REST OR DO THEY DELIVER WHAT THEY PROMISE.. FAST INTERNET N ALL?

    I NEED THOSE USB MODEMS SO I CAN HAVE WIRELESS INTERNET WHERE EVER I GO (NOT THAT I GO ANYWHERE) BUT STILL THE FREEDOM TO MOVE AROUND WITH MY LAPTOP WITHIN MY CITY… TO USE PRIMARILY FOR SKYPE VIDEO CHATTING (HIGH QUALITY PLZ) AND TO WATCH YOUTUBE. (WITH ZAIN USB I COULDNT EVEN OPEN THE PAGE.. ) SIGH..

    HELP HELP HELP!..

    IF I DONT GET A GOOD INTERNET CONNECTION THEN I HAVE TO END UP USING MINIMUM SR500 DAILY FOR INTERNATIONAL CALLS. AND I HAVE DONE THAT FOR NEARLY 10 MONTHS. AM ALMOST BANKRUPT. (WELL NOT QUITE. BUT STILL I AM TIRED OF SPENDING MONEY ON CALLS WHEN OTHERS AROUND ME ARE USING SKYPE TO CALL AND SEE FOR FREE)

    SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

  6. I purchased STC DSL Card from Internet. The payment was made on the same day. Its one week now and there is no username and password yet. I called 15 times and spoke to different agents who unfortunately cannot understand my problem. The worst Customer support and worst Service from the only telecom provider.

  7. Hi Guys

    I am using their service and it’s working just fine. I also have the package of Joud broadband and i am enjoying it! Make sure your lines are compatible before asking for the service and that should resolve the issue.

    Anyhow, anyone know the IP address of the STC Alshamal modem?

    Thanks

  8. i’m living in jubail. i have called 907 last sept. 2. the agent told me that my appointment with technician will be on sept. 5. i’m glad someone called me but when i met the person he told me he’s only setting up dsl to the computer. he even asked me if there’s already a technician came. i told him nobody came yet. so the other day, i called 907 again to follow up my application and they told me on sept. 8 would be another appointment but it’s frustrating that nobody even called me that day. This morning, a technician called me and asking what’s the problem. i told him, ive got already a phone number but still no installation of wires / phones and setting up a dsl to my laptop… it’s very frustrating about STC’s services… its a week since my first call of application and until now i dont get any installation. i might go to mobily for there broadband connection this weekend… i will update you if they will connect my stc’s dsl…

    STC isnt bad at all. STC is better than any other ISP. STC is fast. you know why? Because every ISP here in the Kingdom gets connection from them or at least they are paying STC for the lines. Anyway, what sucks about STC is their customer service. it takes forever to get someone to pickup the phone and you are not sure if your need will be taken cared of.

  13. Just switched to Afaq Shameel and I always got this “looking up www.***.com” for a few seconds and finally the browser failed to load the page. This happens every few minutes. Any ideas? Or anybody with the same problem? Btw, I have done the DNS flushing both on my Windows machine and the Mac. Restarted the modem but after few moments the same thing happened again.

    Alam, Iam not sure if your problem is solved. R U using a Cordless telephone at home? If yes, check the frequency of your cordless telephone and change the “channel” settings on your modem. This should solve the problem. If you are not using a cordless telephone the suggestion by badabingbadaboom should help.

    well best way is to change wireless channel for your modem try channel # 6 as it is usually the strongest one or channel 13. normally in closed area like home it covers 20 to 30 meters and in open area should cover above 50 meter easily. give it a try and see

    A network key is the same as your wireless password.
    you can retrieve your network key on other machines

    just go to that wireless connection properties on that other machine then go to the security tab. then there will be an option to show characters. then it will reveal it.

    I have the same problem.I have not yet found the solution.I also have Sagem fast 2804 .It might be the router because my friend has the same connection as I do (STC 4mbps) but his router is different :Huawei HG520S.In his case the message”not support Ip fragments…” does NOT come.

    It also gives the SPEED on ps3 after passing NAT 2.The difference is apparent when he plays Fifa 10 online on ps3 with almost no lag while mine lags like hell.And both have 4mbps STC connections.How sad is that.

    I have looked all over the net but cannot find a solution.It irritates me as the reason I got 4mbps was so that I could play Fifa online smoothly.So if you have found any way to solve this please do let me know and ill try vice versa.

  46. Why Afaq_Shamel connection with 4Mbps does not have internet browsing when you connect Desktop Pc to RJ45 (Ethernet port) but if I used wireless (WIFI) connection the internet browsing was fine..

    The DSL modem admin page displayed that my connection was 4Mbps but still if i have connected DESKTOP PC to AFAQ_SHAMEL model (((stc modem 006(Sagem – F@ST™ 2804STC))…

    Can anyone feedback a comment why it does not have browser when i used UTP cable cat 5e.. I assure that there is no RFI or EMI that block the signal also I check to the desktop PC it shows 4.6Mbps internet connection.

    The desktop Pc connected to the DSL model of STC has YM but no browser..

  47. STC AFAQ SHAMEL EXPERIENCE.
    Day 1.Nov 15. I called 907 from our company gate to apply a STC 4mbps Afaq Shamil DSL line.
    The customer service is very friendly he take IQAMA no. and for a few minutes he gave me my phone number : 01499xxxx and he said within 72 hrs a STC technician will call me.
    Day 4. Nov 18, after 72 hrs of working time. no STC technician called me. I called 907 hotline to follow up my application, He again said to me that they have some technical problem in our area applied internet service will most probably fixed by next week.
    Day 14. Nov 29 I follow up again my application, again he said after the holiday(Eid) will surely installed my connection.
    Day 30. Dec 13. I received a txt message from Afaqshamel and said my Tel number is 01499xxxxx
    Username: xxxxxxxxxxxxx@4092afaqe2.comxxxxxxx
    Password : xxxxxxxx
    Day 32. Dec 15. Again I received a txt from STC date date of Installation andthe technician who will install my connection.
    Day 33 Dec 16. 7:30pm STC Technician came he check my phone line status from the STC box outside the gate. Then he gave me only the modem. He only check the dial tone of the line and finished. HE DID NOT INSTALLED THE CONNECTION LINE.
    Day 34.Dec 17 I go to batha buy telephone wire cable (200m) about 60 Riyal.
    Day 35. Dec 18. After installing wire cables, and phone checking I directly installed the fashness installation CD on my laptop. But no to avail, a very big problem after installing the STC software in my deck. An error occurred showing use only supplied cable in the unit. What seems to be the problem? The DSL line signal is blinking. It should be stable. No Internet connectivity signal in the modem. I acess to the the url address 192.168.1.1 for model 2006. I access the router using user-user username/psswrd only status checking but I cannot configure it. I call STC hotline 907 and followed voice instruction, they txt me the user/password and the configuration but again no to avail… This STC company sucks! Very poor service. To much expensive service cost. Until now I don’t have an Internet connection. Can somebody answer my question here?
    How can I synchronize my DSL signal to my router? And How I configure it by my self?

    You really have a big problem.It must be the STC that should install your connection at the very first start of your subscription.How could u connect the cable from the box outside and set-up the connection on your PC when u don’t know all the settings there, right?Lucky for me because the guy who installed my connection really came back after he check my box then set-up the connection on my laptop.But still, my connection got down already twice.Good for me because it was working fine up to now.

  48. Afaq Shamel is having DNS failures recently. i’ve notice that skype is logging in, yahoo messenger is logging in but not the websites that i usually visit likef facebook and others are sites and keeps on getting error 404 or it takes sometime to pull them up. anyway, i searched for the solution and i found out that you can change the DNS server on your Afaq Shamel modem.

    Use this one as your primary DNS: 4.2.2.2
    and 8.8.8.8 as your secondary.

    anyhow,

    I want to know if portforwarding and Buying a static IP for residential accounts is possible for Afaw Shamel. Sad to say but, STC Tech support really sucks and most of the time they only have average knowledge about DSL.

    I hope someone here can answer my question.

    Faisal Waseem Reply:

    well yes you can use portforwarding in afaqshamel modem. that doesnt mean you need static ip from them… and for your information they only provide to company account @ the cost of 1 IP = SR 100…. there is another way out. go to Dyndns.com and register an account with them. you will be able to ge free DDNS from there which you will configure on your modem. what it will do is every time your modem reconnects to internet it will asign new ip and that dynamic ip will update with your Dyndns Account. after that you can use portforwarding, remote desktop or what ever.
    now i will come to the irritating part…. one Afaqshamel Modem 006 there is a problem. when you configure the settings it works perfect but whenever it restart, DDNS doesnt work. i checked setting also to see if configration changed or missing but all ok in it. i tried with other (linksys, 3com) modem and it works gr8 only problem with stc modem. i called them alot for there help on it as i know this is a problem in there firmware but no one there that much technical who can understand my point. so give it a try on your modem and see what u find later.

    i do not understand this area on the modem.

    Select the service name, and enter the server IP address and click “Save/Apply” to forward IP packets for this service to the specified server. NOTE: The “Internal Port End” cannot be changed. It is the same as “External Port End” normally and will be the same as the “Internal Port Start” or “External Port End” if either one is modified.
    Remaining number of entries that can be configured: 29

    it seems that you r new to portforwarding issue. let me be very simple. portforwarding with the help of DDNS is a uniqe way to connect two or more then two different dynamic networks behind routers. like i use ip Camera at my home for monitoring from my office. portforward is a secure way to connect using different ports. for example i need to connect to my IP camera with DDNS, i will asign external port 3000 and 500 as internal port to connect from router to camera..
    technically “http://name.dyndns.org:3000″. not that i configured my ip Camera to listen on port 500 from internal network. also note that u cant not use port 80 as it is asigned for browsing..

    I have a DVR in LAN, and want to access it outside i.e on internet. I know that it can be done using port forwarding and my AfaqShamel does support it. I see it under Advanced settings -> Advance setup -> NAT -> port triggering -> Add

    now i dont understand what port numbers to add. moreover, dont i need to add the ip address of my DVR in these router settings?

    After all the required settings, what url should i use to access DVR on internet.

    Any kind of help will be appreciated.

  57. Dear Brother I m having a problem with Afaq Shamel i tooked a link of 4 Mb and i was very much happy till 3 days and later on i got a problem when i m trying to check the speed i got a result of 248 KBPS per second out of 4 Mb and the uploading speed if 21 KBPS per second i have tried to call STC support team to look in to this matter but no reply if any one of you is having a direct number for STC where i can call and put up my problem.

    This is too much that i have a link of 4 Mb and getting not ever 25% of that link if this is a shared link then what the ratio of this link is it 1/4 or 1/8 or 1/16.

    As per the speed i m getting it shows that its been shared in 1/16 ratio which is too much they are simply cheating with us no matters if it is of 1/4 or 1/8 atleast i will get 512 KBPS with 1/8.

  58. I’ve had DSL Shamel 4mb installed on Dec.13 and it has been working well so far. Maybe the areas differ in service/performance, but I’m in Khobar and its been consistent in speed (between 3-4mb, sometimes even tops 4mb with Speedtest).

    The STC modem (made in Tunisia) is connected to a router (USR 5461) which is connects to 2 PCs and a wireless laptop. I use the wireless function of the router, NOT the STC wireless, so it works fine that way. You only have to input the routers security key to use the wireless connection, not STCs.

    So far its better than Mobily’s broadband, and Speedtest.net always shows good performance is consistent with a 4mb connection. However, downloads from file sharing sites (ie, Rapidshare, others) is slower than other sites. I think they are capping downloads from those sites to lessen congestion.

    I am thinking of going DSL Shamel Max which they say goes up to 20mb speed. But I have seen others from a few months ago saying it only gets up to 7mb speed. Dont know if its changed or improved since, but is anyone using the MAX service?

  59. Salam Ahmed,

    I am also in Khobar, upgraded from 512 kbps (Afaq DSL) to 4 Mbps (Shamel), the speeds are so slow…..

    Yesterday the downstream connection speed was 3652, latter it was 3488 and today its 2240…..unbelievable.

    You are saying that you are getting 4 mbps speed (speedtest.net), of course you’ll get that speed if you test with STC. Test with some overseas server and then tell the speed :P

    One thing I can say is 512 kbps was better than this 4 mbps….

  65. They say “STC-Life easier” its actually the other way round…….it should be “STC-Life Miserable”.
    The worst ever customer service in the area.
    I must say you can expect wrong bills, undue charges and pathetic customer support by STC, where 80% agents don’t simply understand what you are requesting for. Would you believe I requested Jood broad band service 4 MB and was promissed for installation in 2 days and its 26th day now and no one showed up yet and I have called 907 more than 50 times in these days, and their complaint office at 800444455 more than 4 times and every time i am told “Buqra inshAllah”…….So I guess we all should just enjoy the fruit of Saudization. Gone the days when professionals were taking care of STC.

    I wish they could know what does a customer mean…..

    MOBILY is coming up and rising with a high speed and soon it will teach STC what is left and wat is right.i hate stc service.

  71. at last STC has removed the message for linksys and now they support linksys. This is the only modem if you have a problem you call 800 number and you get support for a dedicated call center for linksys gateways an router. Good job Linksys Cisco

    I bought the new WAG160N which is the real N with MIMO technology with speed up to 300 Mbps and wider range using multiple receive chains and channel bonding. Amazing product

  74. I “upgraded” my 4mb DSL Shamel to 8mb, but somehow rather than getting that, I completely lost my connection. Cant even connect. This after inputting the new 8mb user name/pw. Spoke to 3 different people at STC and they didnt have a clue.

    I have a Sagem 006 modem and the green internet light is off. In the diagnostic tests, it says I do not have a valid IP address from the PPP server. I tried inputting some of the old IP numbers as a static IP, but nothing seems to work.

    Anyone have an idea?

    the “8M” in your username is not accepted by your modem, instead it ask you to input the integer (number value) of 8M, unlike the 4mb uses 4096 (1024 x 4). the 8192 for 8M is not accepted. so if i were you, use your old username and password (it grants you access only) because the 8mbps connection is controlled by the computer at the STC station and check it again with the http://www.speedtest.net. if you call the call center, they will tell you same old explanation…

    Is your download speed 572 KB/s? Then it is good enough. Download speeds are measured in kilobytes per second. Goto speedtest.net, and check your speed. If it is near 4000kilobits/s, then it’s fine.

    4mbps = roughly 512kiloBYTE/s download speeds.

    572kbps will equal roughly 55kilobyte/s which is quite slow for a 4mbps connection.

  78. anyone..please help me with predicament:
    I have been applying for STC DSL & that was last year until now I still don’t have an INTERNET & don’t have a telephone line. But when I inquired thru their 907 STC had already charged me with 3,300.00 Saudi Riyal.

    I went to the STC Office twice and twice they have told me to pay first before they cancel. Which means if they will not cancel my account will continously add up into which I have not using the telephone line.

    My question is:
    1.WHAT will happen to me if won’t be able to pay that bill?
    2.HOW can I be able to cancel that telephone account?

    How will I pay something that I haven’t yet consumed?
    I am an expat here in Saudi with a small salary…..Please help me …

  79. Hi,

    When ever i tried to register in STC.com.sa for individual registration for my land line phone, it fails saying that the mobile/STC phone is not under my name. So avoided my mobile number and gave only my STC land line number ( PS- my mobile number is mobily number … i dont know why STC doesnt take it …). it said your registration details are saved please call 907 for confirmation for the registration. I called 907, they said send an email to ecare@STC.com.sa. I sent an email on Jan 25th, but no response from them. Can some one help me on this ??? what should i do to register with STC online ??

    Thanks in Advance.

  81. To Boboy,

    Ask a Saudi colleague at work or your company’s govt affairs dept to contact STC. Have all the details ready and any paperwork, bills that you may have. Or go to the STC office and ask to speak to the manager. I myself noticed that when asking for a service (DSL or phone line) that was not installed, they may charge you for it. But when giving them the facts, they should cancel the charges. They may be more intimidated by a Saudi client who calls them and complains than a foreigner. Hence I suggest to ask any Saudi you may know to help you out on this.

  86. guys don’t subscribe for dsl max from site they’ll not give you 20mbps. They’ll set anything from 8 to 16. Get 20mbps by calling 906. And one thing more. If you are not getting full speed, download internet download manager. It’ll give full speed. My standard downloader windows one give only 100kbps download rate but using IDM I was getting 890kbps.

  88. To Boboy,

    Ask to speak to the branch manager or the highest official there. Also type a letter to the president of STC explaining your situation. And that the practice of refusing to do anything while the bill is accumulating despite your request to disengage the line is very bad business ethics (if not illegal) and will only hurt the reputation of STC. Also send a copy of that letter to Arab News and write a letter to them explaining your predicament. Shaming STC in the media will bring this to the attention of the highest officials and I know will embarass them, but may be a slow process unfortuantely. So make sure to first speak directly to the branch manager of STC. SOMEBODY there will realize sooner or later that they will look like idiots when it goes up to the highest levels and eventually will reverse their actions.

  89. Dear all,

    My DSL was disconnecting frequently and having 2MB speed, I was using Linksys N, I have called many time to STC but couldn’t solve the problem, then one of my friend told me who is working in STC to change the modem to STC modem 006, thats it… my problem is solved and it is working perfectly. Accually Linksys is no more compatible with DSL configuration… even if you call 907 the answering machine is also asking to replace Linksys to any other modem.
    I have tried and it works :)

  93. I purchased AFAQ SHAMEL 4mbps regular broadband last October 2009 for 249 S.A.R. monthly. Last month I have to pay 990 S.A.R., this is my bill from December 2009 to January 2010. They told me that I purchased JUD PLUS 399 S.A.R per month. Now If i really purchased JUD PLus for 399 riyal per month,why is it that i need to pay them 990 riyal for 2 months?
    Here’s the logic:
    JUD PLUS PER MONTH = 399 S.A.R.
    JUD PLUS FOR 2 MONTHS = 399 S.A.R * 2 months
    = 798 S.A.R

    I paid them 990 so 990 – 798 = 192 S.A.R
    Where did 192 riyal came from? 907 agent told me that SHAMEL JUD PLUS has a limited mobile call. it doesn’t make any sense…

    I live in Faisalia Dist in Jeddah and had requested DSL Connection 1 year ago before 4 months STC called me and said they can connect Wireless Afaq Shamil,
    & i got the line connected.Last month they contacted again and said Now the DSL Land Line is ready to be connected and the line got connected. i am using this for my personal use at home not office. I am trying to disconnect the Wireless connection and each time i phone they insist that i should come to their office and give in writing to disconnect the line.When they connected wireless connectioni have not given a written request to STC nor for the DSL Land line how come i have to go to their office & Request for disconnection? i do not understand this requirement? and they have charged both for wireless as well as DSL landline? also the modem charges have been charged where as it is announced that free modem? When i discussed in the office our friends say it is not necessary to go to STC office only by the same telephone you can request for disconnecting the Wireless line? can some body help and tell the correct thing inorder to disconnect the wireless DSL Connection? Thanks in Advance.Regards Syed Farooq Ahmed. (Syed.farooq_1965@yahoo.com)

  124. I subscribe to AFAQ Wireless and supplied by STC a HUAWEI e960 Router. The default admin password is also admin. I have changed the admin password long time ago and now want to access administrative settings on my router but cant provide the correct password. I know this model could be reseted to its default settings with the borwser command like MOBILY does, but NO ONE can say give the proper commandf to do it. Anyone can help? Please share your ideas, it might help me solve this problem. Thank you

  135. @swastika its the same dns though. sometimes it has low speed and needed to reconnect to gain speed. stc has dns problem now that browser cant connect. hope they find solution for this issues as i manually input their dns server and suffer for their low latency and low download rate as my connection speaks 8mbps

  139. Tariq, reset your modem then use the cd of the Modem to set up and configure. Upon configuring / setting, there’s a portion that will ask your username and password. The problem is after you set up your modem using the cd, is how to set up and configure your modem using http://192.168.1.1

  145. The great STC never fails at annoying its customers even thou they pay for their internet which never see,s to work properly.

    I called daily trying to get a hold of an agent to help me out, but it seems the line is always busy! Then when I email them about my problem I get the most simplistic response as if a five year old was replying to my email.

    Good luck to all who use this service “I mean it” awaiting a better service to arise ” which is really a dream”. Take care.

    Dear Sudhee,
    I have a 4mb connection before and upgraded it to 8MB. Before, I have the same problem as yours. I reset the modem by myself and tried some suggestions that I read on this column. After I tried some of it, the connection is fast and good. IF still there’s a problem, it’s much better if you can ask the help of STC technician. I recommend Filipino Technician because he will explain to you clearly how to configure or reset your modem not like other nationality that after installing your modem and connection, nothing will be the next.

  147. Dear Tariq,
    Use your Username and Password that STC sent you thru SMS in configuring the modem using http://192.168.1.1 . I tried it at home. Configuring the STC Modem is not easy if you are not familiar with it but if the configuration succeed, you will have a good and fast connection. Try some suggestions that you can read in this column.

  148. Since we are almost all Arabs .. Why do not write in Arabic ..

    In any case .. This is a translation mechanism from the website of Rank ..

    I would say that this problem I have explained to the staff of Communications three years ago .. Without that to me, One .. Sympathy with me and told me that there are only professionals who understand this problem and will solve .. I had been waiting a lot .. Tzerrt and because the company’s servers are hosted in the Kingdom and customers do not have access to it because of a problem for Conception Balchaml .. Has sent several letters to the directors of the company .. And to the Saudi Minister of Communications .. To no avail .. Finally, we lost a large number of customers .. But now it seems that the problem has ended .. ) After three years.

    أقول إن هذه المشكلة شرحتها لموظفي شركة الاتصالات قبل ثلاث سنوات .. دون أن يفهمني أحد .. ومن تعاطف معي اخبرني ان هناك مختصين هم فقط من يفهم في هذه المشكلة وسيقومون بحلها .. وقد انتظرت كثيرا .. وتظررت بسبب أن سيرفرات الشركة مستضافة داخل المملكة والعملاء لا يستطيعون الوصول إليها بسبب مشكلة دنس الخاصة بالشامل .. وقد ارسلت عدة خطابات إلى مدراء في الشركة .. وإلى وزير الاتصالات السعودي .. دون فائدة .. واخيراً خسرنا عدد كبير من العملاء .. ولكن الآن يبدو ان المشكلة انتهت .. )بعد ثلاث سنوات .
