Etisalat has said an Internet failure in large areas of Dubai on Sunday was due to technical faults, reported 7Days. But website administrators said it lasted more like 15 hours. Etisalat did not offer an apology or further explanation.
7days view on the mayhem:
Etisalat, the UAE’s monopoly telecoms provider, last night blamed Internet disruptions to large areas of Dubai on “technical faults”. Ecompany, Etisalat’s internet arm, claimed the service was restored within 90 minutes on Sunday.
But a website administrator in Dubai claimed yesterday it was more like 15 hours. Services in Garhoud and Dubai Marina failed at 5.30pm on Sunday and were not restored until 8.30am the following day, he said.
“I know because I was here most of the night trying to upload content into a website,” he said. Etisalat did not apologise for the outage, or provide any more details.
typical etisalat attitude.

In Internet City, the interruption started even earlier at about 11am last Sunday. You could not anymore access google, at least in our company's. I thought it was just our server's fault, :=(.
