Big MTN data outage

MTN customers have reported they cannot access the Internet on the operator's mobile and fixed-LTE networks for several hours on Tuesday morning.

MTN South Africa's Downdetector page showed a significant increase in reports of issues on its network from around 07:00 AM.

When we reported the issue this morning on Axxess we got the generic reply. Please reset your router and try again.

@Captain Axxess why does your support love this reset reply as a go to

Still locking up on my side for about 30 sec each time, then comes right again for a while. Rinse Repeat...

I'm not an MTN customer, and certainly have no idea of what the issues could be. But I can imagine how challenging it must be to try and run a nationwide network when the power keeps going out all over the place, and in a geography where cable and backup-battery theft is a major industry. I do have a twinge of sympathy for their network ops staff.
