Hmmm... seems to have sorted returned to some form of normality. Let's see how long it lasts though
 
I have lost all international connection

Hi guys,
interesting I can't even access google.com but local sites like anazi and aardvark working lekka all local sites seem to be working hundreds, but any .com site isn't loading at all.
I think Eskoms load shedding has cuased the problem, as this strated on monday after the load sheding in the morning no international sites seemed to work for me. Its the second day now and I'm v frustrated.
Telkom seem to be in denial that this could be happening. However My cell phone still has acess. What ADSL packages are you guys on? I'm a home user (evidently the least important to Telkom). But yes my cell has full access to any website i'm with Vc and use opera browser.
 
rhyn, is it not possible that you have exceeded you international limit and have now been left with local only access?

Welcome to the forums :)
 
Can that happen?
them stopping your international access when you reach your limit but still give you local as much as you like. (Thats weird) I though it would all grind to a halt if I reached my limit, I've never reached my limit before but we have downloaded a lot so I'm approaching it fast.3gb just not enough these days.

Is there a way to check how much one has used?

The Good News is it seems to be back up today so I have no idea what happened there! My SP1 update was waiting for me when I turned on this morning. Lets hope they have fixed some of the numerous bugs in office 2007.

Thanks for coming back to me. This is a great forum and bunch of ppl.
