You know it says something about the quality of service that I get from CW, that I'm not even interested in trying Afrihosts new R1 deal for September.
 
The fix has been bypassed by whomever is doing this. No international again

Once bitten...

I was so pissed at AH after the atrocious service I got from them that I even cancelled my 1GB free monthly account.

It's someone with an agenda against CW. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same crowd that leaked the portal database. Just trying to damage the business's reputation.

Shouldn't a network be protected against this regardless? CW aren't the first ISP to suffer DDOS attacks in history, and surely won't be the last.

How though? How do you defend against several tens of gigabits per second of traffic coming from random IP addresses all over the world?
If your uplinks can handle it, which is unlikely, chances are some of your routing/switching hardware is going to keel over.

We do employ DDoS mitigation but it's not as easy as flicking a DDoS off switch. It's also not something we can publicly discuss for obvious reasons, but we do publicly admit it when it happens. We also refuse to pay any sort of ransom for this
 
Issues still?

Some international sites not so lekker, just got kicked off D3
