Posting from my cellphone....

Sea Point, Cape Town. Dead in the water. No external IP assigned.

Anyone else?

I left Telkom to get AWAY from having to deal with this kind of **** and quite honestly it's been a shoddy start from Cool Ideas.

Not happy.

Yeah I know about last night but still this morning?

Even the support channel mentioned last nights apparent attack but said nothing about still being under siege.

Awaiting a call back....
 
Well their pricing looked attractive but if they are giving service like this I won't be signing up with them.
 
For the record this is not the first time I'm having issues with an external IP not being assigned. At first I thought my router was dicky but it's happened multiple times in the last 2 weeks, but would always come right within a bit.

This time it's extended though...
 
Strange that their upstream provider doesn't setup a Black Hole route for the IP's that are busy DDO'sing them.

That's if it is a DDOS attack...

I've been seeing this on and off now for some time. Were those all attacks as well?

Which brings into question as to whether they are still under attack.... or is it something else?

That is exactly what I am thinking. These okes mustn't think we a bunch of noobs or take me for a pop!

If there is an issue, be up front and transparent about it.

Octotel. Their link is up, no problem there. Already confirmed that with a buddy who does their installs.

This is an ISP issue

Was asking because crystal web... ;)
 
They were the best option without signing a 24 month contract. They have until the end of the day to resolve this otherwise I'm taking my business elsewhere I don't care if it costs more.

I'm not going through another telkom/Afrihost saga

Not sure what any of this has to do with us BTW.

All good on our network and we don't directly peer with nor provide services to CISP, so not an issue for us to address...
