International buggered?

[Makarov]

im on Is axxess and cant open most international sites

 

[BigAl-sa]

no problems here.

 

[snobee]

My axxess express is ok.

EDIT: I am picking up slow speeds on CERTAIN international sites. My slow ones seem to be related to the USA.

 

[Makarov]

they must be throttling my line so much that i cant reach most international

 

[snobee]

Can you get to is.co.za ? I can't. The page gets stuck on an ajax download.

EDIT: Now it is working, but some of my usual international pages are still very slow or dead (like cnn.com and guildwars2.com)

 

[Moederloos]

Mine too - Afrihost/IS.

Maybe the DDOS wikileaks attacks are killing bandwidth

 

[snobee]

Yip, all my speed tests (from games.saix.net & speedtest.net) show great speeds locally, but international is up to crap on a lot of destinations. My Afrihost power user account is also showing problems.

Same here, some IP international ranges are just dead.

Maybe its the IPcalypse..

Im sure it will be back on soon.

 

[DarkStreet]

Same problem here, on Afrihost.

 

[Speedster]

Same here...

 

[Bosvark@]

Can IS and go to MWEB - lol... imo...

 

[Makarov]

can you get 10mb/s after hours on mweb for 899? il move if yes

 

[DarkStreet]

Must be damn IS again - I switched to my backup Webafrica account and it's working 100%.

Maybe Seacom has been cut again?

I'll Tweet Gian and see if he has an update for us.

Seacom is down. Fault in the SEA-MEA-WE-4 cable I believe.

 

[Speedster]

I'll Tweet Gian and see if he has an update for us.

Or maybe not, I can't get to Twitter or HootSuite...

 

[snobee]

What I do find annoying is the often when there are problems like this, the ISP websites 99% of the time show "ALL OK". I wish the systems were more accurate.

 

[Speedster]

Anyone know what kind of redundancy Afrihost has?

 

[Gtx Gaming]

aha must be why my wow is only updating at 30kbs and not 50

Horrendous on MWeb-SEACOM!

Looks like TENET also badly hit:

Seacom is down. Fault in the SEA-MEA-WE-4 cable I believe.

So, if SEA-MEA-WE-4 is buggered again, what route does the EASSy cable use to get to Europe?
