Has Telkom broken the internet?

Absolutely not much joy in connectivity at the moment. Try pinging telkomsa.net and get 100% packet loss. Can't get through when trying 10210 and 10215 bombs. Can see some sites (local and foreign) but not google or facebook.

Some telkom route have been giving trouble, especially Google. Oddly enough their DNS servers point to the international IP but the local IPs are working fine. However a couple of Google services still rely on international (as far as I know).

Try putting the local ip addresses into your hosts file and see if it fixes it (it partially worked for me)
