IS is dead slow?

[BradDC]

Hi Guys, is anyone else experiencing dead slowness on IS business DSL links?

 

[Online Digital Solutions]

There are no problems reported by IS on the Business DSL. We do have reports that the Express accounts are running slowly at the moment, awaiting further feedback.

Nevermind Business....my local is near dead

 

[DjStyles]

Can definately confirm this. We have an uncapped IS account and it is crawling as of yesterday. My Vista notebook has been downloading updates since 7:30 this morning and is only 30%.

 

[Moederloos]

Mine too :-(

I resorted to running Local over my SAIX accou8nt yesterday.

Local is ok for me, international is as good as dead....

Normal IS account through Openweb.

Is there sunspots or something again????

 

[kiepie]

No problems this side. Local and Intl working fine.

 

[Online Digital Solutions]

We have reports of Degradation on local and International Access again. Engineers are attending to the problem.

It seems like its another DOS attack. Awaiting confirmation.

Any further feedback on this yet? International is insanely slow!

My SAIX international was crawling the whole day, local was a bit slower also. Wasn't as bad as you guys have it though

IS is still very slow today.
Cape Town area

*insert overly vulgar analogy about how slow IS international bandwidth is right now*

IS (Business) shot on international, not much better local
North West area, go figure....

Apparently there is a denial of service attack on the go somewhere on their links.

IS had a DOS attack, hence the slow access.
