D3 broken right now. 20% packet loss to the D3 servers in europe.
 
And now this, it is just getting better and better :-(

"Medium Impact
Opened: 16:12 Sun, November 11, 2012
We are currently experiencing increased latency on our ADSL network.

The increase in Latency is due to a failed link between our JHB and Cape Town points of presence.

The problem is being attended to with the highest priority.
Unfortunately we don’t have an ETA at this moment but we will keep our status page updated.

Please accept our sincere apologies for all inconveniences.

Thank you for your patience and understanding."

Once again, we should not believe everything we read ;) The internet is full of lies :D

I wonder what regurgitated bull**** afrihost PR we going to be subjected to now. This "we're tweaking" bull**** has gone on long enough now, Axxess was running fine before this move but because of afrihosts purchase and brilliant (sarcasm) idea to move they have now also brought down Axxess as a decent provider because of their inability to correctly configure their "world" class network. I have cancelled but unforunately dont have money falling out my eyes just to go and subscribe to another provider until the end of the month
 
Thank god I'm with webafrica. :D
Best ISP IMHO :thumbup:
