Things are still slow for me on WA and Afrihost. Definitely not as bad as mweb for me, but still slow. Browsing is fine but I can't load youtube vids properly etc?

 

[PapercutPrincess]

Being rerouted where exactly?

Sure as **** doesn't seem to be exiting the country...

This made me laugh so hard omw haahahahaha!!

OF COURSE THIS SH*T HAPPENS THE DAY I WANT TO START RESEARCH FOR MY ESSAY FFS.

Afrihost is fine..

Can anyone confirm if Afrihost is affected? I need to find an alternate ISP if I am going to get any work done today.

Got myself a Gconnect 1mbps uncapped account as backup, currently using it and everything works great.

How many effing times does the cable get cut a month?!! Are cable cuts this common on all cables? Or what the **** is this? A ****ing clothes line they ran underneath the ocean?

Mweb is basically dead here in Durban.
Switched to FNB - 3GB free per a month

My 4Mbit Web Africa international gets about 7kb/s. Just signed up for Afrihost 4 Mbit uncapped and get 400Kb/s downloads. So Afihost does not seem that affected. Although youtube does not perform that well however I don't know if that is their usual youtube performance.

My Afrihost free gig account doesn't seem to work.

Well this explains a lot.

Skype taking forever to download.

Love my Afrihost uncapped account.

But for those that need connectivity now, try http://www.afrihost.com/microsites/freegb/

Can anyone confirm out of MWEB uncapped VS Afrihost Uncapped 1MB line... which generally has the better speeds?
Besides seacom being down, it has been slow lately..
