Still connected but only able to access Cell C website

[rudivs]

What I found really weird was the first ping to a site other than www.cellc.co.za gets through, but subsequent pings are lost, see here.

Ginggs, are you still experiencing this issue? It's exactly what I go through occasionally - first ping works, but nothing else; DNS resolution seems to work, but no data comes through; can access cellc.co.za but no other sites.

In my case though, the problem could present itself at any time (not just after a long session), and a reconnect often doesn't solve the problem. Since it's the first day of the month, I'm guessing it could be related to replacing monthly data bundles (full bundle is reported as available), but I'm sure I've experienced it at other times as well.

Ginggs wrote that more than 2 months ago. Lately he hasn't been complaining. The problem has been marked as resolved on the sticky page.

Except my neighbour is experiencing it since Monday morning. So it has not been resolved, and it hasn't anything to do with "replacing monthly data bundles".

Ginggs, are you still experiencing this issue?

It still happens from time to time, last time about two weeks ago:

It happened to me again this morning, could nslookup mybroadband.co.za and www.cellc.co.za, but could ping neither. Browsing to www.cellc.co.za still worked.

It happens about 2 to 3 times a week with me. I normally just wait it out and try later. Happened last night again (but could be due to the drama last night on the network),

[ginggs]

It happened to me again during the course of last night, probably the first time it has happened since mid-March.

I also noticed I am unable to get to the login page of the Self Service website while in this state.
I wonder if this is a side-effect of the redirection to the secure site https://www.cellc.co.za/login/page/login which came into effect recently?

I have not had this problem in a very long time.

Same, haven't experienced this in quite some time

My connection is completely dead today. I am connected to tower 19172 at -72dbm but I cannot access anything but the cell c website (though only parts of it load).
Cannot ping anything either.

Connection came back on around 13:30 but now and than randomly stops working.

I haven't experienced this problem in a long time.. I did however experience high latency - and sometimes when this does occur disconnect and re-connect to another tower. Also discovered that certain IP ranges are allocated to 1 tower, every time my CELL C ID Changes I am unable to access the internet and have to reconnect to the network which is very strange.. Also allocated the same IP range always 197.. Recently got the shared IP address 41(if not mistaken) that is blacklisted as well

Still very much a problem in Bloemfontein (Northern part)

[ginggs]

I have just noticed that when your bundle is depleted you are now redirected to http://www.cellc.co.za/recharge , this should prevent people from thinking a problem exists when there is none.

Cool, I like this.
