Well I guess ASDL is a “best effort” service, though Telkom’s “best effort” is up to **** as usual.
 
I just use my VPN, never have these issues, even when it occurs.
 
Yep, I should try your VPN or something. For now I shall go to bed, stop working for today, and dream of a better provider someday.
 
Yep, all HTTP traffic crippled for me in WC region. Transparent proxy seems to be issue (like above posts already mentioned), pity Telkom doesn't know what the heck redundancy is suppose to be.
 
What exactly are you guys experiencing problems with? None here for me in CPT, MSN, Bittorent, HTTP etc working fine. Hope it stays that way!
 
Well anyone having issues should really try our VPN, they will be pleasantly surprised that there is no more transparent proxy hickups and not to mention voip and p2p performance improvements.

On the flipside if your happy with the way Telkom stuff up the internet each day, ignore my post :)

Funny that - as my connection seems to work and my traceroutes seem to be going throught the "broken" sat3 cable!
 
I use PayVPN for a second month and this is the best solution for me so far.
Thanks Clipse

Spoken in jest, I hope?

By the way, pulled this from the SAIX site... does this picture mean that SAT3 consists of 3 cables from melkbos and another from jhb going to EU and the US? Or is it just to "picture" the paths? If there are actually more cables in the SAT3 system, how the hell can teklom claim that they have a shortage???

Sat3 is a 4 cable 14 350km long sub-marine cable running from Melkbos up the coast of africa to Portugal, then to the States from there. It has a total capacity of +/- 120GB/s.

SAFE runs from South Africa to the East via Mauritius and Malaysia. It has the same 4 cable fiber structure, its about 13500kms long and has a capacity of +/- 130GB/s

Sat to runs from South Africa to New York... I think it's a couple of hundred MB/s
