Our team is working around the clock to restore full service and is also implementing long-term fixes to prevent this from happening again.

Are most of us on DHCP ?

You said that last week.

Where are these pppoe details in clientzone for mfn network? I had a look last time and there was nothing.

Stellenbosch, Afrihost on Frogfoot down as well.

Unfortunately, we don't have MFN on PPPoE formally. We use it for troubleshooting purposes.

 

[grant_cpt]

Can we just go back to PPPoE rather?

Yes, clients on Openserve, Vodacom, TT Connect, Cybersmart are not affected as they are on PPPoE.

Second day with a national outage? Sheesh, not much left to suggest than an alternative at this point

Thanks. Would this also be the cause for some weird slowness the last week or so on Vuma?

Still up here.. Octotel Southern Suburbs. Hope it's not spreading

Welp, got me too eventually. I really hope this isn't going to be a regular occurrence.

 

[William1102]

I’m back up now

 

[#name?]

I can't access anything except Google stuff like YouTube all of a sudden. Not even MyBB

Edit: resolved already

 

[Ferdi Faurie]

I’m back up now

Lucky fish still down

 

[Stickfigure]

Octotel in Thornton, Cape Town died about 10 mins ago.

 

[Sousie]

Definitely a DHCP again, strange that IPv6 is unaffected each time…
Didn’t even notice till I wanted to access a service that didn’t have IPv6 support.

 

[frost717]

Still got issues, can use WARP to get around it though.

 

[SR71]

Still down in Kraaifontein, Cape Town
