Afrihost down

[OMB]

UPDATE: 11:15 13 march 2013 - Our engineers are working towards restoring full connectivity to all clients. We do not currently have an ETA, but this is our highest priority.

maybe they should have posted this at 08:30 instead of this

UPDATE: 8:30 13 March 2013 - The problem has been identified and recitified, we are currently monitoring to identify any further issues. Clients may have a delay in getting back online to due to backlog of authentication requests. We will ensure that our systems cope as best as possible until ADSL services are normalised. Thank you for your patience.

This is insane, these guys are constantly down. and when they are its impossible to get through to them.

I understand problems happen, but its unacceptable for me as a reseller to have no way to contact them!

I assume you had a business connection then? Not good that redundancy didn't kick in...

FNBconnect to the rescue, now why doesn't it have an SMTP server?

+1, every month I flush 3GB of free FNB Connect data down the drain, but today I've almost burned through all of it.

This still only a problem if you lost connectivity? Should be fine if you have stayed connected?

Yes, I got that a similar IP address when trying to connect, but had absolutely no throughput. Still using my FNB Connect account.

You'll probably find that when the auth server times out, telkom defaults to providing an address from one of their pools
