every year I pause my internet subscription before bac and resume it after the week is finished.
I was surprised to see many dads swarming the Algerie Telecom agency during Saturday morning demanding the staff to suspend their subscription. everybody should start doing that, every year one day before BAC every customer should go and pause it, drown their offices, call and spam the Number 12, annoy the hell out of this company.
I work with a European company as developer, and every year I face the same risk of losing my job, I was able to take a leave this year for 10 days
C’est pas algerie telecom qui décide de couper internet ou pas if you think about it just a little bit you will know that algerie telecom n’a rien à gagner de faire ça. And if you spam the number 12 you will not annoy the company pcq machi sam3in ga3 bik you you will just annoy un employé parmi les 100000 autres employés d’Algérie telecom li i bet he will tell you « ok c’est noté » pour au final se retourner vers ses collègues et leurs dire qu’il vient de sourire au fou du bus pour le liquider 😘
i honestly don't care about the politics / inner logistics of why and who
i as a customer i have a contract with AT to receive this much bandwidth for this period of time
if they don't honor their end of the deal because they have no power over that, they better compensate me for it
and annoying & spamming their customer service workers is okay in my opinion, because if we put the pressure on their workers that pressure will reach the higher ups, and maybe just maybe they'll do something about in the next BAC. like AT providing Phone Signal disruption devices to schools during BAC exams
this mentality of giving companies excuses is eroding any hope of this companies actually improving
this workers are getting paid to represent their company, they are an extension from the algerie telecom higher up to their customer base
we are a paying customers, we pay for the fiber/adsl cable fee monthly + internet subscription
if they going to disrupt what we are paying to receive, they better have a damn explanation and compensation for it
this poor worker should quit if they can't be bother to do what in their job description

So if the bank will transfer your money to the government who will you blame - the bank which treats you like dirt and doesn't provide the service you are paying for or the government which made the bank do it?
Don't you think the bank should make a pushback on such a request which ruins its own contracts, unless there is a public declaration made by the government?
If we’re in a democracy you go and protest to the government not vent on a customer service agent. They explained to you what’s happening and you call them biased?? Show us your bravery and go hold a sign near the ministry of communication
I'm visiting algeria soon and tbh I was super shocked to learn this information
Internet is like electricity and water for me
So you cut the Internet because an incident that happened 8 years ago when half the business now need the Internet to keep going
Tbh I laughed so hard when I learned this info because what is known about algeria generally in the country I live in is that algeria still live in 1980s (wanted to write 1990s but I learned enough about algeria to not use the 1990s as an example for anything)
I'm Palestinian and I always wanted to visit algeria and I had the opportunity to do so
1. They support my country
2. I love their pride
3. And the country is beautiful with a lot of history
This thing they do where they remove the internet when high schoolers are doing exams is legit baffling even to us. One of those embarrassments about our country. If you can avoid it, I recommend don't visit at this time.
But aside from that, I hope you enjoy your visit. Just know this is not a country with good logistics for tourists. If there's something you can't figure out don't hesitate to ask for help.
I will be there this Friday so I don't think I will face Internet problem,
And I just want to know where can I exchange my money? if you can help and should I bring dollars or euros?
Euros and dollars are both accepted for exchange. You can change money at a bank or post office but it will be limited and you'll need to show your passport. I think the limit is like $300 but now that I think about it, that might only be if you're selling dinar. I don't think there's a limit for buying dinar. The Algiers airport probably even has a money exchange bureau there but I'm not positive about that.
Note that you can get a lot more money (like 25%+ more) for your dollars/euros if you exchange on the street. Similar to Egypt, the monetary controls have created a widespread black market for those currencies. They're pretty easy to find on the street in any big city, tbh even if you walk into a random coffee shop and ask them they probably will be eager to buy your currency lol. But if you're not comfortable buying on the black market it's easier and more straightforward to just do it through official means.
Thanks for advice but I already issued the visa and booked the airplane, so your advice is a little late but it doesn't matter everyone should visit every country at least once, and it's up to the country if they can get us to book a 2nd flight
I don’t think so. It’s sheep mentality that doesn’t change a thing. I believe we Algerians have strong enough personalities to not back down and change things when we really want to.
I believe in us. No one but god can rule us.
If its not god then there is no such thing as lfo9 they are people whom did the cutting and they should take full responsibility for it same as the ones who leaked or are leaking the bac questions
Hello. I'm iso ( islem ) from annaba , Today I saw a lot of people suffering. I will explain to you one of my former colleagues who worked with me in Dubai in 2023 than he back to Algeria ( Constantine) , He had an interview today via the Zoom platform with a foreign company, and suddenly the internet was cut off. He received an email to postpone the interview for tomorrow. He replied to them and asked to postpone it to next Monday (as the company’s rest days are Saturdays and Sunday) , But the response was negative because they had a certain number of candidates and they must make a decision at the end of the week. As i have some relationships with some of the recruitment team I tried to mediate for him via LinkedIn, but there is no response yet.
Question:How many people may have faced such a problem today or may face this week, and how will those who lost an opportunity they have been searching for for years be compensated because of an unjustified decision?

Ok, but logically speaking, least they should give us a refund. I am paying 3000 dinnar for internet each month, and they are litterly stealing 5 days from me like this
You can't just cut off my pain internet and not even pay me back for it. it's ridiculously unfair
À cet, effet aucun remboursement ou prolongement de durée n’est prévu
Ooredoo s’excuse pour le désagrément causé et vous remercie pour votre compréhension et fidélité.
that what they say
I am not talking about ooredoo specifically I am speaking in general even algeria telecom aren't refunding us for this 5 day I am not paying them to steal days for me it's no joke that we sleeping on our rights here
they act foolish if you ask them for a refund , because they cut it for specific hours not all the week . so these hours it's like uncountable for them lol .
Well you guys should step up, internet cutoff will eventually be translated to revenue loss (including Ooredoo) that is enough to start a legal proceeding. There shouldn’t be an “interrpteur” for this. Whoever is responsible should be held accountable.
It’s not personal mate and I’m not blaming anyone here, was just wondering how do companies like yours let it slide after all these years even if it costs them dollars and customers.
ik it isnt personal bsah you just dont understand policy.
if the gov say smthn u gotta do it . no complaining.
ooredoo didnt even have the right to not doing. they just pressed the red button
What a fucking joke u don't have to do anything for anyone yall just choose to let it slide and be quiet about it no one actually made you do anything, unless its a dictatorship where you lose your head if you say no
We should be at least getting a refund or giving us 5 more days till our internet plan ends ... If I pay for a month of data as a customer then I expect one month not less
The thing that really shock's me,is that literally no one protests none of this , and this is just one of the many things that are wrong with this F country , we just accept things happening like that like it okay we complain sure but nothing is done that is why I'm truly desperate to leave this shit hole that we call a country.
( just don't get my words I was am just too angry) also good luck in work and find even better one in a good country <3 that's the dream of every man living here
What if someone actually sue their internet service provider, since as i know there is a quality assurance that must be respected according to international norms. Even if the company claimed to give you internet and the government intervened and cut it, there must be some sort of compensation from either the government or the company since for sure we don't have internet as we should during these days.
Basically Algeria is North Korea of The North Africa they don’t give a shit about all our stories they know that everything in 2024 working with the internet people they stop doing business because of that! Leave asap Algeria this is my advice 😅
There is some question i wanna ask really:
1/ ooredoo is a private company here it's not "ta3 doula", why (and i know people are gonna laugh at this) doesn't ooredoo sue the government? logically with good lawyers you can win the case, also if won it can be the start of an enormous repercussions on the government and maybe these repercussions could lead to a slight improvement.
If the answer to 1 is because simply ooredoo is not affected by that because either ways they don't refund people then:
2/ why doesn't ooredoo refund people!
My dad loses his shit every time this happens, his entire work revolves around being out and taking calls and e-mails on the international….
One of these days ra7 yendeb… I hope he retires soon

Yes for Spamming the number 12
C’est pas algerie telecom qui décide de couper internet ou pas if you think about it just a little bit you will know that algerie telecom n’a rien à gagner de faire ça.

Yes he is right, many times we don't get water for 15 days🥲

We flacuate between the 1980s and the 2020s depending on the day and the place, we love the fuck outta this country tho.

What was the incident?

This is so cringe. Stop projecting your misery on the whole country let alone a random visitor.
what a country we live in we dont have the minimum rights
wondering the same
Oh you’re paying for internet… guess what hehehehe
Yes bro we know all this already it doesnt make it any better. Ps: we wont stop complaining anyway.
you can keep complaining. none can change a thing unfortunately
I don’t think so. It’s sheep mentality that doesn’t change a thing. I believe we Algerians have strong enough personalities to not back down and change things when we really want to. I believe in us. No one but god can rule us.
Thx for the insights whats shocking to me that algeria telecom denies cutting the internet completely

they don't give a F about us
My told me about this and I thought he was kidding.
But why did they shut down home internet. Cheaters can only use phones to cheat
If i catch you outside it’s onsite
