Uhhm you have missed the other 100 topic that say seacom is down cause ISP's like Mweb to crawl and IS to be completely down on international..
Too often this kind of rudeness exists in South African forums, if someone asks for help, telling them that they are uninformed defeats the object of the exercise. Not everyone who uses these forums is constantly hanging around here.
I spent quite a bit of time this morning browsing around to find out whether anyone was experiencing problems today (Monday), because most of the threads on the Seacom problem were posted yesterday.
Mybroadband.co.za only posted a story that Seacom problems were still being experienced after 10 o'clock this morning. I therefore don't think the question was completely unreasonable.
Anyway, as stated elsewhere in this thread, I didn’t experience problems connecting to international sites with a Neotel Lite device, or on GPRS through a standard cellphone data connection. So I wondered whether the problem was universal or an Afrihost problem, regardless of the underlying cause.
Afrihost has posted a notice on its site that the international connectivity problem was Seacom related, I am just curious why not all providers are equally affected.
As a complete aside, since Afrihost has introduced its uncapped service, I have been experiencing more and more international latency on their capped packages, so I am seriously considering cancelling my bandwidth with them. They also have a nasty habit of not answering their phones and their turnaround time on email queries leaves much to be desired.
