Morning MainMeat, we may be using different providers to route international traffic.

While international is slow for me, I cannot connect to any email websites hotmail (outlook) or yahoo. I can connect to gmail funnily enough. Is there a reason for this.

Afternoon Picard, I'm not sure to what extent the Internal outage is affecting hotmail at the moment.

Are you accessing hotmail via the website directly?
 
Picard said:
I'm using the https://www.live.com site

It takes minutes to get to the login screen and then after another couple of minutes it times out.

This could be linked to the international outage Picard.

My apologies for the inconvenience.

We are doing all we can to improve things, please let me know what your experience is like through the course of today.

Google has a local presence.
 
I had some connectivity issues last night and this morning with telkom. I dunno if its related but i just restarted my modem and it was right after that.
 
So Mweb is not as resilient as the other providers then

TI usually don't have international issues like this. Seacom regularly seems to have issues, why aren't they as reliable as the other carriers?

Who are some of the other carriers?

My industry knowledge are most of the times severely lacking.

What is regularly? I can't remember the last time MWEB was down for me. It's never down, and always fast.

Oh shut up, I was talking about Seacom, not MWEB. Oh and stop with that never down nonsense, never means not a single instance since they've come into existence.

This is an MWEB thread and you mentioned one of / their main backbones regularly being down. Yet MWEB is never down. So I'm a bit unsure of your point?

It is? :confused:

Perhaps not strictly if we go by thread title, but the content is mostly about MWEB. I can't see any other ISP mentioned besides IS/DD which seems to have been a quick/different hiccup in comparison to MWEB users. Perhaps MWEB Business clients (now IS) experienced the same, I'm not sure.

So if Seacom is "regularly down", then it never affects MWEB. That's all I'm saying.

Perhaps it affects other ISPs which have not been mentioned in this thread.

Oh shut up, thread title is "International down?".

I commented on Seacom which has a history of outages (planned or not), I never said anything about MWEB but you jumped in there like a rabid dog and brought them up, wtf?
