Afrihost proxy down?

[MyWorld]

Is the Afrihost proxy down?
I cannot get any international at all with the proxy.

Good news is it seems the problem with Seacom will be fixed around midnight tonight.

I got international last night without the proxy. At work now, so can't check.

The Afrihost proxy is working for me....

When arriving at work, had no international connection, so checked Afrihost site, and added proxy, and now have international - although its very slow.....

Goto your internet browser, Tools Options , and wherever the Network settings are, select Configure proxy : http://www.afrihost.com/proxy.pac
All PCs needing internet access the proxy should be added.

As for where to add it on routers, I am unsure.....

Still nothing for me, can't even load Google.

dunno if this helps but i missed this part initially:

Please Note: It can take 15 minutes for your IP address to be authenticated against this proxy server - If you are initially being denied access please wait a few minutes and then try again.

Ok, while the proxy worked earlier for me (about an hour or so ago), international access is now down again.

What is the Afrihost proxy address? I'd like to try it on my side. International is down for sure! I'm not a happy customer since I signed up for their uncapped. I am starting to wish Telkom Internet will introduce uncapped.

It's not their fault, every single uncapped offering out there is struggling with the exact same issue.

Check my earlier post above ......

Like MyWorld said, unfortunately it is not Afrihost's fault, the Seacom line is down, and therefore all IS account users are affected, so all ISPs selling it too.

Oh, BTW international is down at the moment, even with the proxy.
