my WA prepaid account is majorly slow, especially to US sites

 

[MrG]

Hmm, dont notice anything myself... Let me check a download quick....

Getting about 3Mbps, but got no idea howmany people are using the line atm. SABC Network.

 

[wm0000]

Can't connect to most US sites either.

 

[Paulr]

Can't even download AVG updates...

Thanks for the info!

 

[schitz011]

All international unless it's google or b3ta.com is moving along at glacial speeds

CNN reported this morning that it could take up to two weeks to repair the cable. Until then all traffic will routed via another cable but is causing major conjestion.

S8n, I cant get on to EVE either...

 

[MrG]

If I want to know what ISP/Connection etc the SABC uses how can I find out? Commands, trace routes... only problem is alot of traffic is blocked on the SABC Local Network.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Somehow Telkom is responsible for this. I just don't know how yet, but I'll figure it out >.>

Yeah, there must be a way to blame them!!!!

 

[ProAsm]

Well if its any use MyWireless is like greese lightning for a change and is not affected by this slowdown at all.
I had to switch over as my ADSL512 is worse than a 300 baud modem
