Bye Bye Public High Schools (Thanaweya Al3ama)

Just finished publishing results of “Thanaweya Al3ama” after minister of MOE had the speech on the TV at 9:00 am today . At the same time we broadcast the KTV on Qualitynet throught our web site And the bandwidth reaching the maximum in crazy way about 10 M giving no more connections .

About 10 am we publish it on our web site the load also going crazy about 2000 Concurrent connections on each server . all students in kuwait want to check their grade ! also their fathers mothers . in the same time both Qualitynet and Fasttelco publish the results but our traffic already going high from yesterday !
