Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

Internet went down here in PE. Router has red light

My MTN fixed LTE with Afrihost also just went hard down down in PE about 10 mins ago.

FrogFoot is still good though, thanks to the Openserve NLD still being up.

Looks like there might be a dual NLD failure, NLD 5 and 6 seems like its down according to this map: https://linkmon.sanren.ac.za/nrenmap/

Hi.
Checking with the team to see if there's anything on our end that changed.
 
Notice added for all affected services
 
Do we know roughly how long it is going to take to resolve the issue? Am currently working from home and need to know if I should rather go into the office if it is going to take a while

The MF rep in our street says 2-3 days for repairs.

Hi.

It is the NLD that is down; we have logged it with MFN.
I will share updates as soon as I receive them.

Do we have any idea what's cooking today?
This is how Frogfoot used to look like for years, until the 4 day outage when they upgraded the equipment.
Feels like we're back on the old hardware again :confused:
