Yes, I did experience an issue Monday and I was on Airmobile.
We have been monitoring the issue and tracert tests don't prove anything yet but as we narrow it down it all points back to sites that are hosted by cloudflare.

Is there a reason why Google Captcha is going crazy with Airmobile?

Hi.

Did the issue reoccur?
I have not been to replicate it.

Yup. It does seem to be limited to just Google searches directly from Safari browser on my phone.

I'll try and keep an eye out on what exactly happens before when the issue happens, maybe I can come up with a way to reproduce it
 
Was having some dropped connections in Roodepoort while on Teams. This a MS problem or a Afrihost issue or Vuma?

I just got dropped again. A bit frustrating. How do I troubleshoot this since it’s been working fine until now

Please run tracert to teams or any other site you are busy with.

Or use pingplotter.
 
My line has been off since about 19:50 last night. I immediately reported the fault and still haven't had anyone get back to me about it. What is going on with Afrihost?!

I've had to reach out to Whatsapp support as well as Afrigirl for some kind of fault escalation which I just find unacceptable.

We have logged a fault as the outage with MFN has been marked as resolved.

Been getting 403 - Forbidden errors during the past week. Places I frequent regularly: Bikehub, TrainingPeaks, etc
Come to think about it Tuya automations have also been failing due to devices being offline.

Definitely something funky going on with the network
