Anyone else in Southern Suburbs, Cape Town, Claremont/Kenilworth on Octotel have multiple drops/timeouts this morning? Trying to figure out if I need to reset everything (again) our side or if it's Octotel still being up to kak.

We have many clients on Octotel experiencing the same timeouts, packet loss on their layer2. We have brought in their management on this again.

Experiencing a similar thing at the moment... on Vumatel trenched in Pinetown Durban.

Some stuff works sort of OK other things just don't (Google Mail for one thing is dead in the water atm)

**EDIT** and now things seem to be back to normal.

Usually when certain things work and others dont mean there is an MTU issue somewhere, often when FNOs turnup other paths etc this can happen.

How long as this been happening for?

Google Mail is managed locally via Google as well, can you try do some traces when it happens? Maybe run something in the background?

Thanks PB. Just a bit frustrating as we now have two adults working full time from home. I thankfully don't have too many meetings but my brother spends most of his day on Zoom. I'll ping them again on Facebook to remind them to check this out.

Well, at least I can take comfort in the fact that it is not like someone broke in at home and stole my PCs, or that the place went up in smoke.
