ADSL Problems in Durban

[Zenabi]

Is anyone else in Durban having connectivity problems?

This afternoon it was on/off/on/off and now there seems to be nothing.

Good thing I kept my dial-up connection.

YIP its down !!! and we only have telkom to thank for this, once again they screwed up, and my dial up to the rescue

All fine here, torrents are slower, but they are downloading none the less...

Just spoke to mweb adsl and they said that there is definitely a problem in some durban areas and they are working with telkom to solve it

Im in Gillitts and mine is dead as doornails. Had to use GPRS on laptop to get on the forums and im glad im not the only one....

Telkom is my ISP and do you think I can get thru to the helpline??? The one member of staff help desk must be swamped.

Edit: Vodacom GPRS is crawling as well.

Westville is fine.

 

[Zenabi]

Still seem to be down in Pinetown...

Email down too.

Strangely, NNTP (news server) is functional.
