As of this morning I am unable to access international sites and access to local sites is slow. Needless to say, no-one is available via the ADSL support numbers 0800 375 375 and 10215 (PLEASE GOD SAVE US FROM THESE BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!).

Anyone experiencing the same problem or have any feedback on the problem

Hey I thought I was the only one; thanks for bringing this one. I thought I got capped last night; but this morning there was no luck (I hope this is not a cruel April 1st joke!).

I am using a prepaid ADSL account to get international--and that works so it is not a problem with modem or line--seems a problem with TELKOM ISP.

I hope its all not related to conficker. Can anyone with international working go to isc.sans.org and see if there's anything about conficker taking over the world?

Update: ok - false alarm. Just remoted into work and checked out the page. Its not the conficker. :)

Looks like news24 is also down - I can resolve their IP, I can even ping it, but can't connect.

Can anyone please confirm that using opendns does in fact work?

Either my new router is doing something funny which makes it not work or the network is so broken that opendns doesn't fix the issue.

Thanks
