Do you use Unotelly?
 
I had the same issue earlier - no google anything (gmail,youtube,ajax.google etc) would load. Ditched unotelly DNS's for dynamic - and everything works :confused:

I've temporarily switched to Seattle and Virginia and have alerted them to the problem - glad, in a way, to see it wasn't just me.

I'm also timing out on the MTN DSL network.

I can still see Google, but streaming is slow.
 
From Unotelly:

HI,

We're currently experiencing service issue with SA server and we are working on bringing it back up as soon as possible. We will report back as soon as the issue has been fixed.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
 
From Unotelly:

Strange, I changed back to Afrihost's default servers and still didn't have any luck, even after an ipconfog /renew

Settings probably hadn't taken full effect on the router yet :confused:
