Internet access is extremely slow. Anybody else is having the same problem?

BTW, I'm on Batelco's 1mb ADSL service

Batelco's DNS is screwed. www.google.com is not resolved but www.yahoo.com is. Could it be something bigger, maybe root dns servers?

It's google's DNS. It's not responding. Try it with nslookup or dig and server ns1.google.com

got a google IP address, 64.233.167.104, from a web based nslookup service. Still not accessible. Could it be Batelco's proxy?

just used www.anon.me web proxy to successfully access google.com. it's definitely Batelco's problem.

google.com is back, gmail.com is back. Speed is a little bit better. Batelco, what the heck happened?

Help Google help you

I found this neat feature/game while I was searching on Google and the best way to describe it is to encourage you to use it.
