MTN network problems

They have issues on their DNS:
dig +short ns mtn.com & mtn.co.za return
ns2.iafrica.com.
ns1.iafrica.com.

dig +short A ns1.iafrica.com.
196.7.0.139
dig +short -x 196.7.0.139
ns1.isp.co.za.

which is a domain that is not theirs and returns info different from theirs:

dig +short A ns1.isp.co.za @ns1.bodis.com
199.59.242.150

And then
dig +short ns iafrica.com
rip.psg.com.
ns1.iafrica.com.
ns2.iafrica.com.

with rip.psg.com being lame for iafrica.com

(to say nothing of everything depending on one ASN)

So, if they make these errors on their DNS......
 
I noticed my data connection constantly dropping earlier. Swiched from my MTN free data to afrihost again and it was fine. So for now it seems like Afrihost data works fine, MTN data does not.
 
Its still down for me, they left me stranded as I couldn't order uber. Got the number for a traditional taxi service and they really need to up their game. They are more expensive and their service is crap, no wonder uber is eating their lunch.
