I originally suspected this to be a problem with the SAIX transparent proxy but other services are having problems as well.

Down here in Somerset West too. None of the international websites are working. When Koeberg is down, Telkom is up, when Koberg works, Telkom doesn't!!!

There is a cable break in Hongkong.Our International Provider technicians are investigating.
On a lighter note
Apparently Mr. White is on vacation in HongKong learning the finer "martial arts" of deep sea fishing

Cable break has being proven towards Malaysia.Our International Provider technicians are investigating.

This is great to find that its not just me. I was updating the PSP last night and it just all went slow and it was the first day of having the ADSL installed.
Thanks for the update

Yes there does appear to be problems on Intl ADSL access
I've been trying to access certain international sites the whole day without luck, some work some don't (such a Yahoo), fairly inconsistent.
I did some basic tests, and then called DataPro to verify. The support person said he'd been receiving a high number of calls with similar complaints. At the same time he explained it's another situation (typical of most ADSL related problems) where they are powerless to resolve and are waiting on Telkom.
No announcement to customers, no explanation, no resolution time frame, nothing!
I support what someone said earlier, you can ping the sites ok, so routing isn't an issue, but the web pages won’t load.
Sounds like content filtering issues on Telkom's side!!
1. most likely - mis-configurations (a.k.a. incompetence)
2. least likely - crappy technology
3. unlikely - intentional (concerning!!)
Telkom should really read the book "I was your customer" and read it carefully!!
I look forward to the day when:
1. ICASA gets some effective leadership and a nice new set of sharp effective teeth.
2. A foreign Telco (not mickey mouse SA originating) such a BT, Sprint, AT&T etc kicks Telkom's A$$.
3. We get more choice.
4. The definition of customer service gets listed in the South African dictionary.
5. More initiatives like MyADSL, CarteBlance and Special Assignment etc. exist to represent the consumer and expose what needs to be exposed.

Since Telkom is lagging in everything else, I would guess they have the Y2K bug
I live in Rosebank area, and it seems to be the weakest link.
Happy Valentine's Day, Telkom!
