I guess you have to blame the transparent proxy you are forced to use to browse the web.

If that is down, you've had it.

Telkom claims that local sites are not routed via the proxy, that is why you can see this site most probably.

I'm ok on those sites, but can't get Google or any other international.

Maybe there is more than 1 problem.

Mweb have a ADSl e-mail server problem. Telkom claims they have no problems becauseTelkom ping and local website works fine that means the line works! the rest they do not care about (international) that is someone elses problem. I were so upset I told him his a moron like telkom and just wasted my time, talking to telkom as usual means nothing. Thus the undersea cable is not their issue ?? Why the HeLL do they control it then. So we are again stuck..... Why I could not browse Mweb or any other local site remains a mystery. That is the Telkom call centre syndrome.

Run a Proxy test to check your Transparent Proxy
