Hi there

It is now 19:33 on Tuesday 10 February, and my international link simply died. Are you guys experiencing the same?

Regards,

Yes, seems to be a problem.

Code: 
 A gateway timeout occurred. The server is unreachable. Retry the request

The only overseas site I get is the NVidias FTp. [url]ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/[/url]
Hehe, download drivers tonight.
Do you think we can ask Telkom to exclude my usage during this period from my 3 gig cap.

Hi RPM,

yeah same problem! It is now 19H46 and I cannot even get to www.google.com :(

Richard!

Live for the today...
 
I'm experiencing the same problem. Bloody irritating.

Is there any way to find out what the problem is and what, if anything, is being done to resolve it?
 
Same here - except in the process I am getting unbelievable international pings - 170ms and less to the UK! Best before today was 180ms:

Working now again, ish, but Ananzi is so crappy compared to google... can't even use operators and it comes back with worse results... :(

Just imagine where SA would be now if it weren't for Telkom

Who exactly is this administrator and how can we contact him/her when something like this happens?

One thing I do notice now is Microsoft website has a gateway timeout. Maybe the MyDoom Version C is taking its toll. http://www.microsoft.com/

That's pretty hectic considering they have a 2.4Gbps pipe going into MS campus... I think they've remove microsoft.com from the DNS records

http://www.ripe.net/perl/whois?form_type=&searchtext=microsoft.com

but should be accessible thru https://information.microsoft.com looks like that's working well until the next virus comes that is [:)]
