Aden, NewsYemen, exclusive:
A number of users of "Y" services confirmed that the network has stopped broadcasting for long hours during the past days and the weakness of the internet service provided by the company, only about two months after it launched its work in the capital, Aden.
Users complained, in their posts on social media, that the network returns to work during limited hours a day, and badly, either without 4G service, or that it works at a lower quality as it was.
While the company's management did not provide any official clarification in response to this complaint and the deterioration of the company's services, media sources said that this was due to a sharp dispute that occurred between the company's management and the company's agent to sell its SIM in Aden.
She added that the company had intended, at the beginning of this month, to launch its packages for the 4G service, and to reconsider the current price of the SIM, which is about 65,000 Yemeni riyals, in exchange for unlimited internet and communications for a period of two months, which the agent objected to on the pretext that he had quantities of SIMs at the current price.
Big questions revolve around the company, which launched its work in Aden in early December, as the company hastened to close its headquarters a week after it started selling slides to citizens under the pretext of making them available for sale in shops.
The company does not even have a special service for subscribers to inquire about the company's services, as is the case with telecommunications companies. It also does not have a website, and only has a single page on the social networking site "Facebook".
Observers believe that the situation experienced by the "Y" company reflects the state of confusion in the file of communications in the liberated areas for 8 years, and the failure of all promises made by the government to create a communications network far from the control of the Houthi group.
The last of these promises was relaunched by the Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Dr. Najeeb Al-Awaj, last Monday, during his meeting in the city of Mocha, a member of the Presidential Leadership Council, Brigadier General Tariq Muhammad Abdullah Saleh.
Al-Auj, and in the meeting attended by the General Manager of "Aden Net" Mansour Al-Walidi, he announced that the Internet service provided by "Aden Net" will be officially launched at the end of this February, in the city of Mukalla, Hadramout Governorate, and the service will be launched in Seiyun, Lahj and Abyan after one month. .
The minister also confirmed the existence of a program to deliver the network to the cities of Al-Khawkhah in Al-Hodeidah and Al-Turba in Taiz as a next stage of "the project to secure the need for a secure communications network that is accessible to all," he said.
Followers on social media ridiculed the minister's statements, reminding him that they are the same promises he made in a television interview in early May of last year, in which he claimed to launch the "Aden Net" service in these cities within a period of two to three weeks.
