same here :/
Clueless...
Pheww!!!
And there I was thinking it was another Web Intact issue....
I have been trying to connect to international sites the whole eveing....
I called the Web Intact 'help desk' and they asked for my ip address, then mentioned that somebody was downloading 'like crazy' from that IP (it was McAffee that was updating at that point). I was then asked to switch off the firewall....
Riiiggghtt....
LOL
Then i told him that it was a HTTP500 internal server error, at which point I was told that the problem was on my PC....
He said he wanted to restart their server, and asked that I phone back in 20 minutes....
When I phoned back, the guy was really confused. Now not even he could connect....
This time i was told he will get help and I should phone again in 20 minutes....
20 minutes later the 'help desk' phone was on voice mail....
I then connected to this forum to continue my Web Intact rant and found these 2 posts....
Memo to the moderator:
Please feel free to move this post to the Web Intact thread if required...

The scary part of all of this, This forum's info on the status of the Telkom network is more accurate than Telkom's own techies.
It was first reported here that the service is down, before Telkom knew about it (I happen to have called them and got through at 7:30pm) and well Im still waiting for them to 'call me back' ...

last night was BAD... called the dsl dsl number and was on hold for 1/2 and hour (obviouslt THERE was no1 there)... then called the Telkom Internet (for dial up) and tried that route.... and they said.. .call the dsl dsl number... so i said there is no1 there... and they didnt know what i meant... so i said try and get through... so i sat on hold with her for 5min... nothing...
then she said ... wait let me try the supervisor on duty's number.... and then promply hung up...
