ADSL down yet again

[The_Unbeliever]

IS seems to be down as usual

Or it might be hellskommels messing around

Who else have got issues?

 

[MrGray]

Yip - on IS via Datapro - none of our ADSL lines working...

 

[The_Unbeliever]

I hope (probably in vain) that IS's switching over to Neotel...

...all that remains is to play the waiting game...

 

[NightWulfe]

IS, Datapro, WebAfrica, Mweb all seem to be dead in the water.

 

[The_Unbeliever]

Mweb ISDN seems to be fine - can access El Reg, but sorethumbs is not accessible.

What the <censored> is going on???

 

[Christiaan]

Same, only MyADSL is working on my IS account.

 

[Coza]

yeah , it seems that all ADSL via IS backbone is down, my saix DSL lines are running fine as per usual

 

[n00berizer]

IS over DataPro... DOWN
SAIX... UP
Had to call a friend at an ISP to quickly get a SAIX account... Sheesh, I can hardly deal with this anymore... Was on hold on 0800DSLDSL for 45min before I dropped the call... Gwaddamn hold music is still in my head. Dunno whats worse, the hold music or the lack of internet.

 

[Moederloos]

Yup was down for over an hour.

 

[The_Unbeliever]

Mine is up now

 

[Mangoman20]

Methinks this was/is the problem......

IS via Datapro... just got lines back. Some sites still not working

 

[Prof.Merlin]

International via SAIX seems to be a lil slow today. Have got massive latency

 

[The_Unbeliever]

Ya, international is so slow, it's next to useless.

 

[Glordit]

Out in Carletonville we can't even connect. Good 'ol PPP lights giving me zip... just another day...

IS outages restored at 15:40. All our lines seems to be fine.

This outage apparently only affected about a third of the IS Custmer Base. Aparently it's 1 out of 3 switches that failed... So much for redundancy...
