Good Evening

Please be aware that both our Seacom links are currently offline and we are on failover to WACS. Our engineers are busy investigating right now and I will update you accordingly once we have more information.

We have enough capacity on WACS to keep you up and running, however p2p will be affected in the interim.

Please bear with us during this time.

Murphy's Law.... New BF3 expansion launches and Seacom goes down....

Will do. please keep us updated and notify as soon as International capacity is fully restored (or if that may take a while, at least a timeframe of expected completion).

All I can say is that WACS must be getting Thrashed at the moment.

 

[skusku]

My 2mb openweb is also running slow......... getting 0.25 of my line speed

 

[Glubbdrubb]

I've always wondered how failovers worked..

Not very well, apparently.

/Joke

But seriously, how much insurance can an ISP buy for this sort of thing? 20% capacity? 30%? 60%?
