[Moto Guzzi]

The less I use ADSL recently, the more frustrated it has become, so now I want to use, a no go...............Come on, reboot all those F..ing servers....

 

[incaseofire]

well...don't know if this is coincidence, but SAIX local down for me as well...very strange indeed..

 

[Moto Guzzi]

Bandwith and server/router capability

If a couple of 100 thousand users cannot surf well mostly, how on this earth are millions going to do it ever ?

Think of all the AC we burn with this internet s$it, going nowhere mostly..

Ok, here goes my tripswitch for tonight......................

I'm in Gordons Bay too, did not even know it was down. (I'm capped )
But the DSLAM in this place also likes to just die on us regularly...

....if Telkom only knew the deadline I have for tomorrow morning...eish...I need my google!!!

That's why I have 2 prepaid accounts at WebAfrica, 1 on SAIX shaped and the other one an unshaped account that you can switch between the SAIX and Verizon backbone, which I use in case of emergency.... like now.

 

[mysticBoer]

So what the hell is an LIR anyway?
The main uber router thingy or what?
