    @ahmedalsairafi excessive uploads excuse doesn't make sense. int. uplinks r usually symmetric with same up/down bandwidth @eyade @ammar456

    @JustAmira hard to tell. I've been running tests with no conclusive results. it's clear than only international uplinks are slow.

    The government is very likely throttling the internet speed to hinder people from reporting the crimes committed by the police #bahrain
