No international bandwidth on ADSL

[Drunkard #1]

OpenDNS didn't help me, it made local slower and intl still didn't work. Would my own DNS proxy fix this, like gregmcc suggests?

Oh ****, spellchecker needs intl. Appolgies in advance for any errors.

OpenDNS is not helping here, been using them for 4 months and today f'all lol

Open dns doesn't fix the issue it is a http:// problem on saix I think https:// seems to be working as I can access my gmail account

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

Can access on IS based accounts

+1 Go to the Telkom shop in Strand. There is a lady called C....... speak to her about all downtime you experience. That woman hands in disputes and you get credited for all downtime. I know it does not solve the problem right now, but atleast you get some cash back. Works for me everytime. Pm me for name.

Doubtful, if the international link is at fault. I have a full DNS server and a caching one here and no international and some local. Our DNS is not even pulled from our ADSL connections, it is connected to a leased line which is working 100% okay.

Try connecting to http://209.85.229.103 (www.google.com), if that works then it is your DNS at fault. In my case it doesn't work all the time

My internet is fine. Getting 400kb/s in Alt.Binz and it's a working day

Confirm it's a DNS issue then... so SAIX is having problems with their DNS servers... superb!

So another day of lost income while Telkom sits on it's arse collecting my money for nothing! Gee thanks Telkom!

Yip, it's the DNS. Google via IP address opens fine. ???

 

[Taqyon]

It's definately not a DNS problem. I can't even ping opendns.

Access to certain sites come and go, but google.com's been down all morning.

oy what a nightmare. MYBB and prophecy are literally the only sites that work for me. And the Telkom helplines hang me up, lovely thanks Telkom gurus.

So, like the Proteas, SAIX has dropped yet another cache. No wonder we can't win.
