Is anybody else having problems accessing International sites tonight?
I contacted my ISP - WebAfrica and according to them there is a problem with the international link :confused:

mmm second time this month - :mad:
 
www.google.com

Gateway Timeout
The following error occurred:

Code:
 A gateway timeout occurred. The server is unreachable. Retry the request.
Please contact the administrator. 

WTF??
 
Google and most of the other international sites are not accessible
In fact I can only search using search.msn.com and going to the cached results.
 
Same problem here, maybe some irate MCI investor hacked through the SAT-3 cable.
 
Hardly a freakin week goes by without something breaking. Telkom sucks, and SA ADSL is a bloody joke. :mad:
 
Must be Telkom:

What I don't get is why there is no redundency on the saix ADSL network. Especially with SAT3 only being half used anyway....
 
i time out all the time, its a pity that they dont have more redundancy built in, the bastards
 
Problems done here in Western Cape as well. Interruptions to 100k streams and timeouts for Africa.
