Totally down DDoS attack? Most other providers like Vox and webafrica also no international traffic throughput. Afrihost website not working . Vumatel say they haven’t got any problems .
 
Youtube has local caches served by means that are not getting hit.
 
Allright, same as Cool Ideas. Seems they are trying to mitigate some of the attack by whitelisting a handful of DNS servers (Afrihost, Google). So if you are using a different DNS server, you can temporarily switch to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 and that will at least get you something resembling early 2000s internet.

I have done so but it will not resolve Domain names only resolves IP address . Netflix works as it uses IP address not name servers rest of the services like YouTube aren’t working

you should not be having any problems right now, everything including international has been doing perfectly for a few minutes now.

EDIT: Lying through my teeth, there are some sites that are not resolving, mostly international sites though.

Only way I could get internet working fully is if I redirect all my traffic through my VPN
 
I have no problem with anything using 8.8.8.8 as DNS. ISP and 1.1.1.1 DNS servers resolve limited sites

I was using my vox fatpipe 100gb earlier on to play Cod MW and Fifa20 and to watch some IPTV, when international traffic was affected.

Seacom was not affected at all, I have Level-7 as well as a backup link and they weren't impacted at all, they are also using Seacom for international and in some cases national
 
Can’t even get fibre to connect over PPPoE now, so completely dead for me.
 
Please take my money. Just give me fiber. I was Offline a whole month due to a techie not being able to connect 2 wires. IT IS 2 WIRES FFS! UTP has 8...Bless his soul...
 
Went to bed a bit early but woke up to working internet :)

Will these DDoS attacks also affect fixed LTE? Am thinking about getting it as a fallback.

On Afrihost MTN Fixed LTE traffic still gets handed over to Afrihost and they do the rest network side so yes it will. MTN Fixed LTE from Supersonic won't because they use the MTN towers and MTN Business network. Telkom LTE from Afrihost won't be affected as it's a Telkom product just resold by Afrihost.
