What the hell is FLATTING?? some sort of fish like Whiting?

ADSL killed by a fish (almost as good as Eskoms mist and smoke excuse)

 

[mercenary]

yeah IS int is down once again ;(

foned someone who has is diginet and his is also down, so at least we know we not the only ones getting screwed

Does OpenWeb resell any saix packages? I really want to stick with Mr. Beep purely because of the great service but these IS problems are getting a bit ridiculous.

It's because 4 of us went to look at the wikipedia definition of Metrosexual at the same time !

 

[stoke]

IT's BACK for us !
False alarm ... was just a bump in the FLATTIE.

 

[schitz011]

bugger.. Still out in Midrand..
Poo.

 

[schitz011]

Actually it's really intermittent.. My DeviantArt page changed after 20 minutes (not cached before anyone asks..)

 

[stix]

Yip - IS down here in Cape town ! FFS !

 

[schitz011]

Still out in Midrand..

FFS. I swear to god if I ever meet someone who says they work for IS I will poke them repeatedly in the eye with a blunt pencil and then break the tip off

 

[stoke]

oooh oooh ... had another blimp ... long enough to recieve one gmail mail.
Gone again.

Have two accounts, one with IS and prepaid ADSL with WebAfrica. I'm not renewing my IS subscription from next month because of their lack of reliability.

 

[schitz011]

Thinking that too actually.. Stick with openweb though if I can

 

[stoke]

I need IS's fixed ip address solution.
First one to offer me fixed ip's on a saix backbone wins hands down.

 

[schitz011]

Why is it so frekking hard to keep the bloody thing going? If they can afford a giant billboard on Rivonia Road, they can bloody well afford to put some effort into getting their act together!

Has anyone aside from stoke phoned and complained?

Aparently it's AT&T at fault now.. Some automated bint talking of major degregation btwn NY and Radiokop

Think I'm going to take up smoking again and sue IS when I develop cancer!
