bigruss Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Reminds me of a book, Cyberstorm. Kind of a SciFi book around the "what if" countries decided to use cyber terrorism, it was a fun quick read and only $1. I doubt we had major involvement in shutting down their internet, my guess is it would be someone closer to them (China). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I don't mind them asking why I cancel - what I mind is that their pay is based on how many people they talk out of it, which understandably results in a terrible experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
