Work emails are nice and quiet.

Very confusing - the same services are out, slow or running fine depending on each user's network / ISP. Seems like it's just pot luck depending on how your ISP routes you.

Did they check the main valve? Is it on?

Someone in Abidjan apparently closed the WACS valve.

Our phones are going crazy with our customers complaining....specially about Microsoft services eish.

yes, my vodacom says connected but isn't. On MTN I can't load Office 365 share data

High latency and timeouts on international traffic. Probably a cable break somewhere...

Because your Huawei Router sends the traffic to China first, it gets inspected, scanned and then sent back..
