We are picking up latency increases on Equiano now, could be as a result of networks switching over from WACS

Nah JINX was still up for us.

So with WACS, Seacom down what do we have left ISDN?

 

[Jason-ZA]

I guess it's a good thing you guys didn't ditch Equiano yet.

Yep ^ to lo0.thncr0-coolideas.cisp.co.za I thought we have been on Equiano since last year as the latency has been 160ms since

Yeah we have been using a mix of WACS and Equiano since the Previous WACS cable break

MS dropped all BLP, all prefixes withdrawn

They are still announcing them at INX ZA and PNI

Looks like a WACs failure, and I think with some of the east services down...

Is Equiano path/route still in place? Or is it congested?

Yes, it is, but obviously quite busy with WACS out of the picture.

I suspect wiocc is loadbalacing their terrestrial paths between London and Lisbon.

They need to "light up" more capacity.

Is ACE not any good?

EDIT: disregard, I see ACE is also affected in the same area. Did the WACS cable not break at around the same location last year? "Abidjan in Côte d’Ivoire"

Last time it was in the Congo Canyon from what I can see here

Good news for slow Internet in South Africa

The WACS undersea cable has been repaired.

We're dropping the local peers to try route everything MS international.

Looks like some MS traffic is still being picked up at NAP in JHB.

Very lossy.
