Telkom Email

I live in PE and couldn't access webmail for yesterday afternoon until about 09:00 this morning when I was able to downlaod my email.
I called Telkom helpline who claimed not to know about any problems. DO TELKOM ALSO KEEP THEIR CALL CENTERS IN THE DARK ALSO?

Telkom & it's associates were hacked hahahaha

Someone hid those cables underground where they couldn't be seen, they deserve to be cut.

Internet fixed?

Hi guys,

I still seem to be struggling to connect to some international sites.
Has this problem been fixed?
Could the Capetonians confirm whether or not they're still having internet connection problems?
