International Down?

[Compl33t]

Anyone else experiencing problems?

 

[Sushi]

I can't access international at all either!

 

[kaspaas]

Can't access a large number of local sites either. Including www.iol.co.za

 

[kaspaas]

International SSH + POP3 seems to be fine - problem seems to be on HTTP

 

[Obelix]

i got this from out networks guy

Please note that there is a failure on the Telkom international network and as a result we will have very slow responses to International web sites only, this includes ***removed*** Intranet sites.
The description is intermittent cable problems.

Looks like it is only port 80 that is affected - some sites on port 81 is fine.

Now, I have got no connectivity whatsoever, local or international. I have had to dial up !!!

Is anyone else experiencing this?

 

[TMoose]

My connection is useless. International is dead, and has been for quite some time now, and the only local site I seem to be able to access is MyADSL.

 

[WiseCrack]

*Sigh* same here. Cant even access my mailbox. Lets hope its fixed soon.

simple, dns servers went down. try pinging ips, works fine. Temporary solution, changing secondary dns server in your adsl connection settings might solve it for now.

 

[Vox Populi Vox Dei]

*SIGH*. I can't access any intl. website. Only local ones like NAG, MyADSL, SGS etc.

 

[TMoose]

Well, mine still sucks.

 

[kaspaas]

It's like a yo-yo.

One moment at the top, next moment down...

Should I swap my primary and secondary DNS servers in the my connection settings?

 

[caroper]

Still down in Cape Town

The joys of an entire country relying on one Telecommunications provider.

 

[rburley]

same here. What happened to telkoms adsl 'always available' slogan?

 

[Turtle]

Seems to be Telkom's DNS server that is down (and is still down, they really are useless) -- funny, I hadnt noticed it until I tried to ftp, because all my HTTP traffic goes through my Linux squid proxy which was still set up to use a previous ISP's DNS server (196.38.110.2 .. can't even remember who that is) - I'd forgotten to change it, and never noticed because it just worked. If you hardcode your DNS server you may be able to work around it.

 

[RedDevil7]

Yes, I am, and constantly everyday my connection seems to be slow, I've got the 192k package, but sometimes only get the avg. of 19k/s This is quite pissing me off!!!!!! And this is local and/or international...

Hmm, could someone mention which DNS servers should we change to? This could help alot of ppl here posting "No Connectivity..."
Thx

 

[antowan]

No connectivity for me...
