Ok, so who broke the internet :mad: Sheesh, I don't know if it's just me or what but since about 11pm yesterday, I've been having trouble accessing most sites (even my webmail is timing out ffs) ... local and international, although international is worse. 504 Gateway Errors, Connection Reset errors, etc. Soulseek too, keeps going up and down. So, am I alone in this or what?

(I'm on an SAIX connection ... Durban)

I had the exact same thing with my IS ADSL this morning (ie: Connection Resets). My torrents and RDP was still working though, so maybe it was their transparent proxy that was stuffing stuff up.

i been seeing browsing problems and high latency problems with SAIX connections at many different locations in Cape Town. Retrying many times can sometimes bring up the page, but for now international seems to be VERY unstable .... and extremely annoying when u need the internet to work ...

Same here, also on SAIX (WAfrica). It's intermittent, I changed DNS servers and eventually changed to the SAIX cache server just to load intl sites.
 
I'll admit I have serious visions of us losing our internet access due to Telscum ..... something is very wrong and IMo is going the same way as Eksdom :o
 
wonder if there's a way to get RPM to do an investigation of some sort ..... surely he's better placed than the average joe to get some definitive answers?
 
Majpr major problems even on local sites. Including trying to logon here. :(
 
yeah me too. the interweb is as slow as hell and my sites are being timed out or something.
 
Day time was terribly slow today, it got a bit better after-hours but there is still a problem. It's been on and off for a while now. :/

I have to resort to the SAIX cache all the time, and most youtube videos still don't load without it.
 
Seems either all members on this thread are "invisible" like me, or your ADSL is down too? Sucks, doesn't it? :p
 
This is starting to make me mad! How much longer is this going to go on? Last freaking 2 months SAIX been giving crap. What's the point of having internet if IT NEVER WORKS?!
