Egypt is in the midst of an Internet blackout that experts are calling the "worst in history."

Renesys estimated that 93% of Egypt's networks were still unavailable Friday evening (EST).

With the country's citizens unable to log on to the Internet as they normally would, people have turned to a variety of other means to get online, including using ham radios, fax machines, and landline phones.

1) Get online using the Noor Group's network
