I know that ISPs are still working on ensuring all their networks/services are up but I cannot confirm if things are entirely back to normal. <BR>

As per what I know from friends:<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
1. All Internet is down. Apparently one network is still working but seems to be serving the stock exchange only and few others.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
2. SMS is down.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
3. Landlines are down (at least internationally).<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
4. Mobile networks seem to be on and off depending on location. For example, Vodafone is apparently working in Cairo while other networks are not !!<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
God help them and bring Egypt and Egyptians out of this harmless inshallah.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Regards..<BR>

Hey all,<BR>
Some NANOG participants are seeing hearing reports of disrupted<BR>
communications in Egypt. Are any of you seeing the same thing?<BR>

Around 2236 UCT, we lost all Internet connectivity with our contacts in<BR>
Egypt, and I'm hearing reports of (in declining order of confirmability):<BR>
<BR>
1) Internet connectivity loss on major (broadband) ISPs<BR>
2) No SMS<BR>
4) Intermittent connectivity with smaller (dialup?) ISPs<BR>
5) No mobile service in major cities -- Cairo, Alexandria<BR>
<BR>
The working assumption here is that the Egyptian government has made the<BR>
decision to shut down all external, and perhaps internal electronic<BR>
communication as a reaction to the ongoing protests in that country.<BR>
<BR>
If anyone can provide more details as to what they're seeing, the extent,<BR>
plus times and dates, it would be very useful. In moments like this there<BR>
are often many unconfirmed rumors: I'm seeking concrete reliable<BR>
confirmation which I can pass onto the press and those working to bring some<BR>
communications back up (if you have a ham radio license, there is some very<BR>
early work to provide emergency connectivity. Info at:<BR>
