I think there is something but at the same time, I can't see Seacom's legal team sitting down for this type of bad publicity if it wasn't their fault. Considering that Mweb is utilising the Seacom link differently to other isp's ( own upstream provider etc ), it's quite possible that they might suffer a outage versus the normal seacom users who have a different infrastructure. I just hope that once WACS and Eassy are running properly MWEB takes further redunducy steps because we've all seen what happens when Seacom goes down and SAT3 can't handle.

How much people have downloaded is irrelevant in this context. When my car starts acting up and the manufacturer can't tell me what's wrong with it, I don't shrug and think "at least I got 90 000 km out of the car, so I should I just just sit back while the dealer f**ks me around". Past performance is not as important as present day performance.

I'm glad things seem to improving, but the long silence from MWeb over the weekend was disappointing. I understand that networks have problems, but no customer likes to hear their service provider telling them that 1. We don't know what the problem is and 2. We don't know when it will be fixed. If you're a techie, try telling your boss that next time a system of yours goes down and see how well he/she takes it.

If you have a few cars, who have limited capacity daily, and eventually a group opens up the ability to use your car to unlimited capacity - you are bound to sit in traffic on the highway.
Give them time to sort out their infrastructure. Seriously.
Be thankful that we have cheap uncapped in this country.

Everything's amazing, and nobody is happy.
 
Why dont you ask mweb for clarification, the guy operating Seacoms facebook page may be a junior who isint clued up, i still dont see a reason for Mweb to lie
 
Some more information just now off Facebook in regards to the recent problems:

Mweb Guy do you maybe have some insight into what happened this weekend? Just got this off the Seacom facebook page:

David Baker -> MWEB passing the blame it seems, Seacom needs to contact MWEB as this is making Seacom look bad!
Seacom -> HI David, Thanks. We have and we hope that the situation is amended.

A lot of people are starting to say Mweb has lied to us about the source of the outage?

Mweb Guy ... We did experience an equipment issue in Europe and, as mentioned above, we worked together with Seacom to ensure the problem was amended. There has never been any intention to pass blame - there has been extensive network build, cable maintenance etc over the last couple of months, and any problems encountered get handled as quickly as possible. Hope this answers your question!

was getting 200kB/s+ pulling from astraweb. I'll be watching Lost tonight \o/
 
No I blame the Hollywood Studios! They bribed Mweb to cut everyone's access to P2P etc!
 
Seacom STILL down

Got this mail from one of the guys at MWEB that our business deals with...

"Good Day,

14h49 P2: We have been notified that we have lost connectivity to one of our SEACOM links. SEACOM engineers are attending"

Take note of the time
