The blocking of this site was not a unilateral decision taken by OMANTEL. An overwhelming number of requests from the subscribers made us rethink our strategy and conform to the popular demand to block pornographic and certain hacking sites that encourage hacking such as this one.
OMANTEL is not unique in this industry to take such an action. Many ISPs in several different countries are taking steps to block such sites.
For those small number of subscribers who may differ in their opinions with OMANTEL, we hope that they will find Internet interesting in many other areas.

My response back to those morons:
Dear sirs,
Thank you for following the same policy of blocking the spreading of information as used by such great innovative minds as Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, the Catholic Church during the time of the Dark Ages, and so on.
Your censoring of the internet has inspired me. I therefore have decided to block you from accessing my bank accounts, from which I pay for your service. My account (and the monies contained therin) are probably too provocative for your company to handle. Due to popular demand, you will no longer be able to access my account and withdraw your monthly fee.
If you feel that this is unfair, I hope you find the money in other people's accounts to be an acceptable alternative. That is, until THEY too decide that internet censorship is a step back towards the Dark Ages when superstition and ignorance were preferred for the public. Perhaps you should think about moving into another industry, since free speach fightens you.
Good luck finding another customer (you're going to need it)
In the meantime, I'll be watching pr0n.
