MWEB - SEACOM OUTAGE UPDATE

[MWEBHelp]

The outage on our international bandwidth is going to take a couple of days to repair, it’s obviously a fairly serious break judging by the number of ISP’s that have been affected. We’ve managed to find alternative capacity and with immediate effect our customers will be able to connect via the SAIX network. You just need to power down your router, give it a few minutes and then reconnect. In order to properly manage the additional traffic on the SAIX network, we will not be able to accommodate any bandwidth-heavy protocols like P2P until our own international bandwidth is back on stream. Protocols like e-mail, browsing and Internet banking will work as per normal. Thank you for your patience, we’ll keep you updated with any new developments.

Kind Regards

So no full internet available? Only browsing.

 

[Gordon_R]

Works for me!

Why to we have to switch to SAIX? Does every one of MWeb's 150,000 customers need to reboot their modems?

 

[StoneCold]

Yay, at last some international access again !

I believe that's what was said in the original post eh?

YES and the fewer reboot the better for the rest of us

Yeah I know that's evil.

Great - R510 for normal browsing. (excluding another R500 odd for access a 4MB line)

 

[Snekko]

A bit of relief Nice One !!!

Sigh, no gaming for me...

 

[Mike43110]

Out of intrest sake, scalewise, how much more expensive is the current bandwidth?

 

[Charl_c]

When you say they should be working as normal, do you mean 4mbps? Because my ftp is at about 3kB/s, which doesnt seem normal.

Edit: But thank you all the same, a big outage such as this it is nice to have a bit of connectivity at least.
