Internet access in Turkey

I was quite impressed with the speed and wide availability of Internet at the hotels. All of them provided free wifi as part of their service, and even in remote Behramkale, the speeds were great. Given the proximity to Europe, the speeds were not surprising, but the ubiquity was.

I am not a great user of Twitter, but I did notice the switch off. On Thursday evening it was working fine, but from Friday morning it was off. There was no error message - it seemed that the DNS queries were simply blocked. I did not try too hard to circumvent - I wasn't that interested; but it seems from news reports that it was easy to circumvent.
