Yip...mine looks the same. Looks like IPC problems in Cape Town ? Almost not usable at the moment.

Our techs are experiencing the same issues with Afrihost DSL.

Im in Somerset West - Link 2 between the Cape Town IPC and the MTN line is broken I think

w1z4rd · Jul 15, 2013

I had to switch to a Telkom account. Mybroadband is very slow as well. Something that side has broken.

eddief1 · Jul 15, 2013

looks like a brief IPC outage...mine is stable again

Trouble_ · Jul 15, 2013

Mine has come back to life too! I guess IPC was the issue, although I can't be certain. Bloody Telkom!

blunt · Jul 15, 2013

yep.. back.

pgs · Jul 15, 2013

(At time of writing.... still checking)
Gone again! Both through put and Afri* Capped and uncapped.

ITS ALLIIVE (again)

That was random.....

AfriMan · Jul 15, 2013

Looks like something broke on the Southern IPC. Not an outage as such, but some sort of network anomaly that sent contention through the roof. That's why throughput and latency went bananas.

We've isolated the cause and killed it, so this shouldn't happen again

@AfriMan, can you elaborate on exactly what happened?

It's looks like something went wrong with one of our policies, and allowed completely unrestricted throughput, causing massive contention. We had to kill those sessions and restore the correct policies to normalise network performance.

well now how are you going to make a movie with the approval of the Humanity for Data Foundation: "no sessions were killed in the making of this film" carries weight among some film goers
