I can 100% assure you that this is not the case. TENET is not up without issues, there is a very definite fault on the cable, hence the up / down nature of the TENET capacity. Basically, when a repeater fails, it is possible for certain light waves to get marginally repeated/amplified, at which point, those lightwaves may work intermittently, though even in this case, they aren't stable.

This is precisely why there are periods of long outages at the moment.

just give it time :)
this is the notice on the Mweb site :
As you will have seen from the article on My Broadband, TENET has been making some of their surplus capacity to us as and when it is available. That bandwidth (also on Seacom) is in itself quite unstable which explains the intermittent nature of our service today. We're extremely grateful to them for helping us out, they have put the best interests of the broader SA Internet community first. We're still waiting for Seacom to configure an alternative route that will hopefully give us the stability that we need. They had hoped to have this in place this morning already but it's proving to be more challenging than they originally thought. Let's hold thumbs that it comes online soon!
 
well axxess message has been the same since this trouble started. so still 6-8 days since the start date. so i think by next week we will be set
 
Try forcing the Google DNS entries to the local Google IP address if you're having difficulties using Google Services.

I had no international Internet access on Mweb uncapped 384kbps until I changed my username from [email protected] to [email protected].
Now I have a new problem though: I can't connect to the local PvPGN (Battle.net emulator) server, which runs on TCP port 6112 and is hosted at IS. What I don't understand is that its local AND it should not be considered as P2P since its not hosted on someone's ADSL :(

be carefull when you change these settings you could start getting charged for your internet access.instead of it being uncapped
 
mayurh, thanks for the heads up. It would be sad if Mweb would charge me for that though.

I'd like to see that happen - I'm already paying for INTERNET ACCESS.
