International down again

[StillOnSent]

Went off a few minutes ago

Local is fine

 

[StillOnSent]

Back up

How about now? Is international terrible for anyone else or is it just me. ICQ went down, even browsing Symantec went down.

 

[Peter7]

Looks like it might have been a freeproxy issue

Sigh, my international is insanely slow now:

Can't even stream a 32kbps radio feed. Aaaargh.

Local is still fine.
Anyone else experiencing similar slow international speeds?

Yes, very eratic - even trying to open pages like this.


Ping to www.sentech.co.za and www.sentechsa.com both time out!

That's putting it lightly. What's happened with international? Can't even connect to our company VPN server. Dead in the water. ICQ going down and up and down and up, my icon must be appearing light a Christmas light in the other users contact lists.

Edit: 0.2KB/s FTP access

Can't get any work done. Streming video totally erratic - interrupted every 5 seconds.

 

[noswal]

Seems better for me now, but then again I shouldn't have to wait until after 12am to use the internet

 

[Peter7]

Same, it's at least responding now.

Edit: Spoke too soon. Oh well, I'm going to bed. Maybe I'll wake up in a completely liberalised SA telecoms environment in the morning with more than 1 telecoms provider ;D
