I see the inter-interwebs are broken. Aargh...

May as well then hangout at the Watercooler.
 
Broken here as well.

Got a power failure this morning at office, but was heading out to site.

Upon my return, power was restored, but intert00bs was down. Only myBB is working fine, rest is very sluggish.

Bleh...
 
The water cooler tank is empty , please google the company`s phone number that does the refills... o wait nevermind.
 
Ya I'm on axxess and its also broken. The axxess site is also hosted offshore it seems, I can't get onto that either....
 
Doing a traceroute from CPT I get to srp5-0-0.cr2.cpt1.za.mtnbusiness.net ....

looks like mtn the problem

My company has fiber with everyone that offeres fiber, seriously we have a red, blue, green, white and a black cable coming out of the building.
If our internet is farked then the internet is farked.
 
is this because of the sat3 dingis?

It's an international issue, blah blah (I lost my geek dictionary).

Seems to be back up now; but for how long? Dropped a download for me, 100mb lost, meh.

[Eng] Sigh, things are going from bad to worse today. And worst... i-Worst.
