The internet connection in Dubai is driving me NUTS!

AHHHHHHHH!

I'm about to set the internet on fire hahaha...

Man - it's just sooooo freaking frustrating trying to work & upload content for work with this crap a-s-s internet connection!

As you all know a submarine crashed into the fiber optic lines somewhere in the sea which totally messed up everyone's connection. And get this, here's the best part; this isn't the first time this scenario of the sub crashing into the fiber optics lines... but this is the freaking THIRD time!

I mean - where / how and who gives these submarine captain(s) their underwater spaceship license?

Feel free to rant on in this thread!

That's why I'm so frustrated cause I really do not understand the logic behind what happened....

Well it's the first time, I never spent xmas without my family back home in Canada... I went to a friend's house and I was with all her family so it was kinda cool but was quite weird at the same time to be in the desert (Dubai) on xmas with no snow... and I wasn't in the mood to go to the refrigerator (Ski Dubai) to see snow

What an excellent idea why didn't you. I haven't been there yet. the olny time I saw snow was in Utah years ago it was fantastic, especially when we rolled the ski mobile into some thick deep snow, we nearly P**sed ourselves laughing, but I haven't yet been to the snow fields in Aus

That really sucks!

Where are you in Utah? Are you just there until after the new year?

No sunny Australia although its been the mildest summer ever. I wonder if its because I've become aclimatised to Dubai heat. Today was a good one though, should say yesterday 3am here in Sydney. Went to the beach at last, there is nothing so beautiful as the beaches here, and no fences.
