It's impossible for me to connect to international sites ATM.

I'm in Centurion with 2.5gig left on my account. Anyone who shares this problem?
 
I have the same problem.....

WBS CATCH A FSCKING WAKEUP!!!!
 
Was this just international, or was it some local sites as well? - if local which sites?

Were you getting error messages from WBS' Transparent Poxy Server?

guys i am not having any probs??

It's usually an intermittent problem for a few minutes [up to an hour once], then all the poxy errors go away...not sure if it's caused by WBS, or upstream of WBS - like UUNET, or Telkomonopoly, or Red Piranhas that escaped from South America & decided SAT3 was tastier than meat...
 
Yeah, I had some problems with international access earlier, seems to be better now but still not perfect.
 
they were playing with things early this morning and that might be the root of the problem, from what i could suss out I think they are trying to close a hole in the bandwith manager.

Funny how slim always has the "inside edge" as demonstrated here. "playing with things" and "what i could suss".

LG, would you like to extrapolate on this one?

Not trying to be funny, but I had exactly the same ponderance of thought when I first read Slimothy's post...
 
lol, funny how the mods dont ever have the 'inside scoop', TheRoDent how is your iBurst these days? Oh wait, you don't even have it and never did... shucks funny how non-iBurst users always have the inside edge on how iBurst is...

I was just going on something I saw sihen and ReeFer (both WBS employees) talk about on #iburst, if you want more you should talk to them, Simple Twist Of Fate can back me up, he was there the same time and we discussed it in PM.

Would help if you'd mentioned that up front...:)

I gave up on #iburst a few months back, mainly due to Dylan never answering any questions asked of him, if #iburst was in fact a source of regular and useful info, I would certainly keep chatzilla tuned into #iburst...
