Oh, and there was that time that they threatened customers who quit the contract when Zain internet slowed down to a crawly 2kbps.

When was this? What were the details of the threat? Update pls.

I can't recall a time Zain issued threats to its customers who wanted to stop using it's services. It is important to get the facts right.

I understand all the telcos have their shortcomings, and when In this forum, we highlight on the challenges we get on our respetive telcos and the respose is -ve or +ve, depending on how factual our statements are!

Cheers
