Time now is 10h40 on Saturday morning... The entire network in Cape Town is down! Was anyone aware that the network would be down? Would i be correct in saying that this is a planned event?
Its weekend iBurst! Time that we working people get to surf and mess around on the internet. I dont mind the network going down between say 3am and 7am but damn over a weekend is unacceptable.

That's ridiculous, all of cape town?! I'm not sure about the rest of Jo'burg but mine was faster yesterday when I was capped and I could actually log onto thing like mxit pc and the vodacom site...
 
Hehe, well that explains why iBurst in Jozi is so fast... its like I was never capped, lol.

@ S1ght: BTW... when capped, logon to mxit using http (check the lil HTTP box), then you wont get disconnected.
 
Cool, didn't know that :) well i think mxit is down everywhere, thought it was just my internet but can't get on on my phone either...I don't suppose the server is based in Cape Town is it :p
 
Thanx, ya thats probably the best bet. Oh well life sort of goes on I guess, have to study anyway :)
 
"iburst is back online"
Yes it is and the bandwidth usage monitor says that i have used 950mb!!! How could i have used that? Its the first day of month and the first time i've been able to connect! WTF?
The Cape Town "meltdown" doesn't even appear on the incident report page!

I had 180mb off my cap when it came back online. Not sure weather this is their fault, or Windows downloading updates or something prior to the network fault...
 
Dear iBurst

please remember the following:
Never give out your personal information
never admit to anyone that you work for iBurst
never wear iBurst branded clothing
hire some personal bodyguards

why you might ask?





Because you suck

and I will find you.....

ROFL
 
...and there is no network redundancy or backup backhaul ISP to switch to, we will just leave our subscribers without internet connectivity for hours, who cares it's Saturday they shouldn't be working...

disgusting that there is no connectivity redundancy in place, so third world...

iBurst are you in the business to provide connectivity or to make money?
