My IS international a bit poked too still. Gmail still broken for me and some other int site a bit slow.
 
Just did a test on my 384 line This is the best it has been ALL day. Maybe I should start looking for the dialup ...

Using Axxess
 


That's what it's supposed to look like (384k Afrihost) but don't be fooled, I've been getting slow responses from sites, downloads at +-9KB/s and intermittent DNS lookup failures all day. Gmail was also a mission to get into. What did they break this time?
 
I got the following from our account manager this morning, although they claim it is now fixed we are getting 25-35% packet loss in some offices.

Teh internetz IS b0rken the whole day. (Axxess local, Afrihost uncapped)
