Gmail. Google gone

[Northender]

Can't connect to Google or Gmail or Blogger! Tried Yahoo and connected straight away... Been trying for about 1/2 an hour.

 

[Solitude]

Yep, same here. At first I thought it's all international sites. But it's just some. Anything Google related plus can't connect to XBox.com either.

I logged into gmail about 2 hours ago. had no problem then. must have gone wrong since.

I can't look now as I'm posting on my cell & am lazy to close this & go try login there..

 

[riscbroker]

Trouble here also. If Google's gone down the end of the world is nigh

 

[Viva]

Funny thing is, http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ is also down

I'm heavily depending on Google Translate at the moment, so this is a real inconvenience. Please fix this soon Cell C.

 

[Bismuth]

Same here on Cell C, no Google/Gmail etc. (just had to use my backup search engine, MetaCrawler, to solve a problem I was having with my DSTV remote, it didn't return any "Google" results)

Unable to use google

I don't know if it is just me but i cannot open google.
Cant even search
Using Cell c and all other sites are working fine.

 

[Viva]

Damn, I just discovered that Bing Translator does not know Afrikaans. Bummer.

 

[CellBel]

Down if i use cellc sim, but no problem when using VC sim.

 

[ginggs]

Google and gmail down for me too, both sites are reachable on iBurst though.

Funny thing is, http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ is also down

I can't reach this site on Cell-C, but can on iBurst.

Anyone called Cell-C yet?

 

[Lachdanan]

I'm on Mweb ADSL and all things Google is gone ;(

 

[kolaval]

yup on cell c and same here...
where's my foil hat at?

 

[Hard Rain]

Google, Blogger and YouTube gone for more than an hour. On Cell-C.

 

[Speedster]

Down, down, down. Maybe Irene took a detour past the Googleplex...

I suspect they may be fiddling with something to address that issue we have been having with Gmail, Gtalk and WhatsApp.
See the "TCP connections stalling" thread.

At least WhatsApp is working....sort of....no port 5228 C2DM connection, so no chance of "push" notification at the moment.

I cant get onto anything google related either (.co.za / .com / News / Gmail). Local or international

Tried Cell C and Vodacom connections through different devices..... ef.

I was thinking exactly the same thing...but was too scared to mention it in case the villiagers show up on my front lawn with burning torches for breaking their Cell C google

 

[rorz0r]

Same here. Thanks OCLEROUX for breaking Google on Cell C

Seriously, can't live like this... Tried to google down for everyone or just me so I could check if google was down. Had to resort to bing and it was the 2nd last result on the 2nd page. Then it's also down...

 

[Northender]

and speedtest.net

and speedtest.net seems super-slow. but otherwise everything else works fine. I can update Wordpress.com but not blogger. noooo.

**UPDATE

Seems to be only SA (That I can see) that is affected. When connecting through Romanian and Netherlands based servers all of my Google services are back up and running. Hopefully they sort SA out soon!
