Epic, noticed that my Steam doesn't want to connect at all. Can't even access the steampowered website and lots of other sites are super slow, don't load properly. Tested OPs mentioned sites and they don't work for me either.

Epic weekend. I just wanted to play Dota2 T_T

This issue has been here for over 3 days already and we need answers. I'm unable to connect to the PSN (PLAYSTATION Network). As soon as i use a cellc or vodacom sim it connects immediately.

For some reason, quite a number of the websites that I normally visit, will not load this morning on my Telkom Mobile/8ta connection.

www.mybroadband.co.za is working ok, so able to post here.

These for example are not:
www.kapstadt.de
www.wunderground.com
www.whatsmyip.org

A trace route to whatsmyip gives this:

Code:
From 8ta IP 197.229.55.65
Tracing route to www.whatsmyip.org [204.11.33.59]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

 14     *        *        *     Request timed out.
 15     *        *        *     Request timed out.

These sites are all loading fine on Cell C and Vodacom at the moment.
A friend checked these sites on his ADSL line (Telkomsa ISP) and they load fine as well.

Any other Telkom Mobile users having similar problems?

weird *****... I cant open .co.za pages. some work like mybroadband.co.za but i am having much difficulty with the following website..

www.takealot.co.za
www.game.co.za
www.incredibleconnection.co.za

Can someone test and see if the same happens..

Gumtree seems fine..

WTF 8ta... fix this ....

All of the above are loading just fine for me

I did post this on a thread on the Cell C forum:

I noticed that since the early hours of this morning [2013-06-27], my 8ta connection is being assigned addresses in the 197.229.x.x IP range, where it had previously been getting 41.150.x.x or 41.151.x.x addresses.

I noted a fair amount of 8ta disconnects in the early hours of the 27th in fact.

It is quite possible that some issues may have begun around this time if Telkom Mobile had started to remove or reassign the 41.150.x.x or 41.151.x.x addresses from the 8ta part of their network and move all connections over to the 197.229.x.x IP range.

I don't do gaming, so wouldn't have noticed anything in that regard.

The browsing issue was not a problem for me before about 10am yesterday. I never checked between then and this morning around 8am, so this particular browsing problem could have started yesterday after 10am sometime.

Perhaps this "migration" of Telkom Mobile users to the 197.229.x.x IP range and associated network configurations have been the cause of this browsing (and/or other) problem/s?? So it is quite feasible that WaFaizel noticed something wrong on the Playstation network 2-3 days ago.

What is the IP address of your 8ta connection according to www.whatsmyip.org ? 197.229.x.x?

Yep, few days ago it was mostly in the 41.151.x.x range, now solely in the 197.229.x.x range.

Not working:
steam
ww.war3.co.za
no-ip.com
half of other sites take forever to load.

Thought it was the peering issue between telkom and mweb, but no-ip.com puts that assumption to rest.

So this "some websites not opening" issue is Helkom related! At last an answer...

Just spend the entire bloody evening trying ALL the tricks on the web (of the pages that DID load) to try and figure it out.

MTN works perfectly, but the 8Ta is a no go and giving issues.

I am fairly sure that this is the issue, since about 2-3 days ago our public ip's have changed from 41.xx.xx.xx range to 197.xx.xx.xx range ..
The issue must be that the routing tables for our newly assigned ip's starting with 19.xx.xx.xx have not been properly setup... The reason some 8ta users have no problem is because somehow they still use the 41.xx.xx.xx ip range.

It's 197.228.x.x Not 197.229.x.x

That's quite interesting.
I have tried multiple reconnects this morning and never get 197.228.x.x only 197.229.x.x

Maybe it depends on area and prepaid or contract?

I am on 8ta prepaid 60GB Promo in Cape Town northern suburbs.

To reduce further browsing frustration, I have switched over to the TOR browser for now. :p
It's slower, but at least it works.
Get it here: https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en

**Breaking news!
The problem sites seem to be loading now on the normal browser (09:10)
All my outstanding no-ip.com ddns registrations have suddenly succeeded.
I am on a 197.229.x.x IP address.
Are we in luck??
