In an historic move, Egypt has unplugged itself from the Internet. In Cairo, the Web has gone as silent as a Sphinx.

According to internet monitoring firm Renesys, shortly before 2300 GMT on 27 January virtually all routes to Egyptian networks were simultaneously withdrawn from the Internet's global routing table.
That meant that virtually all of Egypt's Internet addresses were unreachable. More here.
From SLAC (USA)
From SLAC we saw Helwan University and the National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Science stopped responding between 23:30 26 Jan 2011 and 00:30 27 Jan 2011. The Egyptian Universities Network site was still accessible from SLAC until at least 23:30 28 Jan 2011, but is now inaccessible.
From NUST-SEECS (Pakistan)
Pakistan appears to also have lost connectivity to the EUN. On Jan 27, 2011 around 2200 hours, maggie1.niit.edu.pk lost connectivity to the Egypt Universities Network (EUN). On the same day around 2300 hours, maggie2.niit.edu.pk lost connectivity to EUN.
