Total slowdown in ADSL

[mikef]

Anyone else also struggling to access almost all sites - both local and int - started about 30 minutes ago
Saix 384 in Vanderbijlpark

[jannievdberg]

Mine is down too. Dont know what the prob is. Im on SAIX. Location: Bloemfontein

[Garyvdh]

I'm in Alberton... I can access local just fine... but international HTTP is all down...nothing... nada

MSN Messenger and Skype still working

[NameOfBeast]

Same here. Most international http sites loading very slowly. https seems ok.

Sorr for all of u durban is flying along local and international (SAIX DSL 384)

[mikef]

Saix speedtest still over 50kB/s Gamco only about 8KB/s

[mikef]

Changing to manual proxy seems to largely solve the problem
