Cannot access international sites/servers on GPRS

I checked and I am definitely accessing Google.com and not .co.za. I can also access Gmail and even send and receive mail through it whereas I cannot access any of my primary email accounts in Canada. I tested various international sites, most are stone dead and just timeout. Some start transmitting data and then timeout. I figure it is a Telkom outage in Cape Town but who knows at this point. Guess it's an early night tonight.
 
Here's a trace to Google.com if it helps.
