There are plenty of problems at the moment. I can't access half the usual international sites that I browse and the ones that I am able to are rather slow!
I had the same problem earlier today with VERY bad access to international sites. It seems to be better now.
I am a SAOL customer. Is there any place I can online check if Telkom Infrastructure are causing problems? When I had a SAIX account, I was able to browse the SAIX noticeboard that gave some hints when their routers had issues.
