Outage longer than usual. My Telkom ADSL while still connected has died. Guess a battery went flat on the way to the internet ...

3G still working.

My Afrihost also down. Activated the Telkom rule in pfSense so some systems have air.

Ours never went out.

The day is but a pup. Give them a chance, they want to hit you when it counts I.e. when it's dark

 

[Hamish McPanji]

Power just went off now....gonna escape the area...anyone know where there is power in Joburg? 'Cause we are on stage **** knows of load shedding

 

[MickeyD]

Scheduled 2,5 hours became 4,5 hours. FU NMBM!!

 

[techead]

We have the most crap slots for load shedding oh my soul

In sea point I mean

 

[techead]

And why does the power go off in the heat of summer? Does aircons use more power that a heater or something?

 

[Arthur]

The problem isn't demand. It's supply. Too many generating units are down.

 

[kingrob]

Hang in there people and light the braais!!

 

[HavocXphere]

Well at least on the Tshwane stage 3 schedule the shtty time slots are evenly distributed among everyone so thats something I guess.

 

[AthenianOwl]

My area got loadshed from 10H30 to 12H30 in the morning and then from 16H30 to 18H30 in the afternoon.

 

[DJ...]

Haven't been loadshed this week yet at all. Been expecting it every day but we've been pleasantly surprised each time. Every area around us is going down frequently, so I can only assume they've forgotten about us or for technical reasons they can't load shed us for the time being. Either way, I'm happy...

Anybody see this, this AM?

Total blackouts?

Once that happens, it may take 2-3 weeks to restore electricity.
