I had breakfast at Johnny Rockets today and when I came to pay they told me Knet wasn’t working. Now after having lunch at Wasabi I came to pay and they again told me Knet wasn’t working. I am concluding from this that today is not Knet’s best day.
note: I am talking about Knet point of sales not the atm machines.

Had that problem yesterday as well went to pay for a rental and the machine was down in all of Salmiya.
Yep, have been shopping today and no Knet or visa in the mall at all – was not able to use it in any of the shops – has been going on since yesterday. Stopped me from shopping which is not a bad thing!! LOL!!
Im having problem brwosing, Im trying to call qualitynet but all lines are busy. Maybe the Knet problem is linked to the Internet problem. any one is having issues with qualitynet today?
It was down since yesterday.
Yes,
we too have the same problem in our office.
the knet is down,
wow

yeah Qnet was down in the last couple hours..

actually Mark yes you are right, it’s been down for a couple of days now, since Thursday.. some places are ok but again, I had a situation with the POS and they deducted like a 100 KD by mistake.. it’s the connection
not only Qnet may I add
i had the same experience on TSC in Shuwaikh and i tried to to pull some money out of burgan bank through K-Net services and i failed .. it seems that its down for real !
Its down since yesterday and we LOST good sales cause of that..today it was ok but still at some places they were complaining that its too SLOW…
I used it this evening :) It was down for few days.. KNET must upgrade their network to handel weekend transactions.
I had the same issue at costa coffee in Keifan today afternoon!
even when you withdraw from a knet machine, you might get overcharged twice which happened to me
it was down at where i work since yesterday and i had been trying to contact the company and they never mentioned anything -_-
I think that’s true, because last night I had dinner at Chilis and thay told me that the K-Net is not working, but I went shopping today at around 5 PM and I paid using K-Net.
Its not working thats right.
pearls, I’d be happy to give you 100 fils.
yeah, its been happening all over the city, internet and knet machines (POS) on the fritz.
They published it in all newspaper today.
A&B, haha. Shako 100fils, I want my 30kd back!! I withdrew once but got charged twice the same amount. I think they’ll refund it back to my account today
K-Net sucks
Wasabi
Am still waiting for u 2 try Kaizen
i have withdrawn KD 200 from a ATM machine.. they charged me twice.. thats 400 KD.. when called and asked they said they have a problem and that they will add it back to my account.. lets just hope so..
It went down bc during the bengali strikes one of kuwaiti managers had to make and bring his own tea but he slipped and the tea fell on the main server and there was no one to clean it LMAO
The K-Net network is handled by Kems…thats why some people also have problems with their internet connection, it seams the bad connection is a result of their
“Knet fee Reduction Campaign”
If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys
Advice: Knet switch to FT
This is a blessing in disguise to all men who have shopping addicts as partners.
Yeah .. it happened to my wife at the mowasat hospital yesterday. The Knet wasn’t working , so she had to leave the hospital and find the closest bank to withdraw money!
NOW you know what the problem was.. ;)
pearls, I’d be happy to give you 30 kd. ;)
The official is Zajil (KEMS) who are the main provider for KNET where down for 2 days which effect all KNET point of sale
KNET move some of the banks next day to Qualitynet network to solve the problem.
and all the updates are in Alrai newspaper on Monday 5/8/2008
