Nice one mweb. My ordinary browsing is completely unaffected.

I was wondering what's going on. I have connection, but very slow.
luckily for Mweb. They had planned maintenance last night for the JHB area. Perfect timing.
Yet another seacom problem
so who cut the cable dammit?!
seacom again... when will we see then end of this? at least make it less frequent?
SEACOM's availability has to a large degree driven consumer ADSL prices down, but it seems clear that any sane ISP has to retain SAT3 bandwidth to ensure their customers aren't left in the dark.
But once WACS is online we'll have even more redundancy, and who knows, maybe even lower prices ?
If you read the article again, it said that the fault is not on Seacom but on SEA-ME-WE-4 . Blaming Seacom is the same as blaming your ISP and saying it is their fault. Or just blame Telkom, as you are using their line from your houseOriginally Posted by purejimcn
Have switched over to WebAfrica, but some sites still affected.
Yes, it seems that most of the SEACOM outages are caused by that unreliable piece of crap SEA-SPOT-RUN cable system, but I thought Seacom bypassed that a while ago already and were no longer dependent on them?If you read the article again, it said that the fault is not on Seacom but on SEA-ME-WE-4 .

Update from SEACOM:
“SEACOM experienced a fault on a partner network from 20:57 GMT on 16 March 2011. The fault has been repaired and all customers have been restored.”
Telkom sat 3 seems to be the most reliable in this department

Lol another Mweb advert. I wonder if Mybb get paid per mention. Its not like mweb is the only isp on seacom...
Hmmm... not sure all is working fine, I cannot get onto many international sites at the moment... 11:35... somethings up... or at least down!
