MWEB - SEACOM OUTAGE UPDATE

Great news. Browsing is fine, but download is slow. Essay please come so we have more redundancy and speed!!
 
Thanks MWeb for temporary solution

SEACOM will be back -- it's not gone for ever. At least MWeb has made a plan and we can connect internationally again. Every time SEACOM goes down the same hysterical responses result. 100% redundancy on all the uncapped accounts is not possible yet. After the new cables have arrived, I expect it will be different. Full redundancy is too expensive on the "cheap" uncapped products. So relax, restart your router, queue all your interwebz downloads for a few days time (everything will still be there then), get your email, browse where you need to, and relax about all the hundreds of rands you are "losing" now that MWeb is "once again completely screwing us all". How long until someone says this is scam by MWeb to save themselves some international bandwidth :D

AFAIK the SAIX bandwidth costs MWeb more than the SEACOM bandwidth, so I'm pretty sure MWeb would like the cable up and running again as much as we all do. And yes, of course it's HEAVILY shaped at the moment. How long before bleating posts saying how bad MWeb service is because P2P is not working :D

Thank god I have my Webafrrica Complete 5 (R299 for the 1st 3 months special), been running super speeds since dropping mweb for them.

Uhm ... the games I play would NOT be free on WA. And I have done 19.56GB before today already, so twice what a Complete 5 would have allowed me.

They do make a decent backup account, though.
 
Sabre we all know it is mweb trying to save bandwidth. They are throttling us!!!!!!!!!!!

Sneaky buggers :D.

Whilst I understand this is not mweb's fault (seacom and all) it is starting to become the norm instead of the exception -- seacom was down not too long ago and then neotel's network died, then seacom, then neotel.... The point is that customers are offline regardless of who's fault it is. Even if it is the "other guys" fault, we pay you, mweb, for the service, not the other guy.
 
yea ,it could be worse guys,we could have no internet the entire duration of the outbreak,Seacom has given us alot, uncaped at cheap prices,high speeds that dont cost a arm and a leg,

Atleast mweb is giving us a alternet to quit your whining

But is that sustainable for the whole month? I think not, at least not without very deep pockets.
 
Love how the african mentality is that paying for full service and getting sub-standard service is good enough....


I suppose everything is fine because we're getting uncapped for sooo cheap when compared to the rest of the worlds prices, speed, and stability.
