Possible reason why Noor Data Networks is still online, because Egypt's government and critical infrastructure uses Noor. From http://twitter.com/#!/WeldPond/statuses/30858386673246208

Also the financial sector, from what I recall.

I love HN. I have a small server in Egypt and I've just been trying to figure out what the hell is going on. Then I come here and see this link. Explains a lot and hopefully means that I may have my server back eventually. And I was blaming the hosting provider...

Your comment won't change anything. As a Tunisian, all I wished the outside world to do when we were in Egypt case is a tweet, blog post, Facebook share and a good comment. If you went to the government and protested, then you owe me lot of respect.
