Internet problems?

[Lydon]

Anyone else experiencing problems such as websites not loading, websites taking long to load and MSN errors among others? I'm using WebAfrica. It's been like this for the past three days or so but it's terribly bad today.

I think it's Telkom. And yes, it's terrible.

Try disabling the cache if you're using it.

 

[wm0000]

that was the first thing I tried.

I have the same problem. Also with WA / SAIX. Had stable speeds up to about 2/3 days ago and now have intermittent slow loads on intl sites.
I also have difficulty loading MyBroadband forum pages today, not sure if the problem is related because other local sites load fine.

Try opendns dns servers instead of default ones...

It's probably related to what's being discussed in this thread:

SAIX confirmed that there is a problem on the international link from Bellville to Ashburn, they are currently experiencing running errors on their network. The International Carrier as well as the International Provider are attending to the problem.

Aha, thanks. It appears to be much better now. Let's hope it lasts.

Everyone seems to be having problems this month....

I had forgot to install the cache details on this system and had to refresh every 5 seconds. Enabling it seemed better.

Also then read that international link was down so hope its that. My ADSL at home is completely dead after yesterdays storm, so nothing I can do there regardless

 

[Jdawson]

Same here ...SIAX .. Problems .. US site only though ..UK seems fine

 

[dudewotevr]

Same problems here, - Cybersmart..

 

[erhardt]

same problem on my side with my saix account from openweb, my IS int account works fine though, only saix

 

[CrzWaco]

Is there still problems? I was running fine this morning after 8 starting to go down hill.

 

[Terencek]

I and several others using MWeb have been having e-mail outages recently -- stuff not getting through, either way. Could this be related?

hi matezz

i just wanna mention , that some ISPs r actually using some techniques to prevent/restrict some BitTorrent users from accessing internet as usual users ,,, this was discussed in many forums and websites 1 week ago ,,, and google is going to put a solution to this using some way of "ISP Identification" in its search engines ... so i guess if this is the issue , u can just wait couple of weeks ...

just to be safe ... check ur PC , maybe u have some spyware or trojan , which could really make ur internet access is slow .. use zone-alarm or any internet security suits bud ..

also , using a good antivirus , like nod-32 / norton / avg / ... try to full scan ur PC ... just to be n the safe side ...
