I can see exactly what the techs are doing from pictures on our WhatsApp group so I know they are working on restoration this very minute.
However, this is taking really long.
This is exactly the reason why I had to stop playing MMO's on your network.
Your restoration times require attention.

We are aware of the outage affecting DHCP services. We do apologise for the inconvenience caused during this period.
Was busy today so couldn't update.
Chatted to the guys at my bottom gate. They are already digging.
Not all sunshine and roses though. They already broke lines.
So fiber line on top of fiber line on top of water pipes. That burst every 2 weeks. And get dug up with excavators.
The ****ing SA IQ at work.
Here we go again.

The Telkom guys are in for a nice surprise in Mkhuhwla Crescent, where back in the day frog foot cut open their piping and laid their cables inside it.
Luckily they are doing aerial fiber so there'll only be digging for poles here and there.
They did my block yesterday. Was quick. Had to lift the cables for me to pull out of the yard and was already in the air when I got back.
