New Afrihost 4096kbps Uncapped account dead

[Silvatyrant]

Okay, so last night I was busy trying to get Openelec upgraded on my RPi and around 12am the line just dies on me. I mean, dead. I pick up the receiver and no dial tone. So I try a couple of things, to no avail: Unplug POTS filter & reboot router (not that it would have had any effect, but WTH). I decide to go to bed and tackle it in the morning if it's still an issue.

This morning, wake up and login to the admin console of the router. I can see the DSL is synced and my WAN PPPoE link is connected but, STILL NO INTERNETS! I reboot the router once more, still to no avail. I don't understand what the issue is here.

Has anyone else experienced this?

UPDATE @ 12:19 - Issue is sorted after ANOTHER reboot of the router.

Log a fault at Telkom.

This.

Unless AH hosts your line...

Could be broken or even stolen.

Thanks, Venonmous & froot. But the line was synced, as mentioned above. Also, the WAN PPPoE connection was authenticated and connected.

All's well that ends well I suppose...

I have seen cases where the line syncs, but there's no dial tone -> generally a Telkom fault.
