The international connectivity, she is broken.

There was a brief outage when one of the fibre provider maintenance crew fiddled around in a man-hole outside one of the data centres. The automated fail-over kicked in and recovered the routes.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

so you know how Webafrica gets front-page spots to apologise for their network going down - is the same thing going to happen to iBurst? Reasons for everyone getting screwed over on a Saturday?

The best part is that they have a company announcements forum right here to, and the last post was made on 04-02-2010.
I guess not much goes on at iburst then heh?
