*READ FIRST* iBurst Network Status & Issues (DNS, Throughput and Latency)

[DaEvAnAm]

Wow. Over 1000ms to Google and over 500ms to local sites. Yay for iSh*tBurst.

 

[NightShift]

back down to a normal 770ish MS delay.....

any word on when i can expect the old 300-400 again roog?

 

[DaEvAnAm]

Normal? 770? Wow. This is depressing.

Sigh. Anyone want to save us?

There was a cable fault in the SAIX/Telkom network which affected our connections from upstream via SAT3. I am awaiting the notifications from upstream.

I get home from work about 15h05 & yesterday I was getting:

2000ms - 4500ms or it just timed out.

Is it so hard to get something right & try to keep it there? Damn my bloody ADSL-less complex to hell. I blame Telkom idiots for not having a line to my house & forcing me to deal with iBurst & I blame iBurst for all the **** in my life!!!

Bleh!!!!!!!

 

[DaEvAnAm]

These horrible speeds have been like this for awhile now.

But we'll just go with your logic and say 'When can we expect the decent service that we have come accustomed to prior to this 'fault' (in other words, service of 2 months ago)?'

Nice.

First Seacom, now this.

Is somebody playing silly buggers with the network?

Had no internet at all for ~2hours recently. What's that was?

There is a fibre fault in Sandton which has affected services. We are working on resolving the problem. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Static IPs, mail and iDSL are impacted

And certain Telkom services as well.

Went to obtain a 3g sim from the telkom shop, couldn't load any airtime or activate it.

Bleugh.

What about the poor sods suffering in Cape Town? Or are we all just delusional?

Not sure, but internet disconnects frequently and disappears for some time. Also cellphone links gone in area.

 

[Jagtiger]

Odd "DNS Error Temporary network problem, please retry later" on google start page, but loads. Sometimes.

 

[Mental-Tree]

OH EM GEE. My interwebz just disconnect for no reason at all! All I want is a little stability :"(

 

[diegoa]

I got no internet connection now

 

[r00igev@@r]

We are working on restoring our connections but I'm not sure that our fibre fault caused mobile phone issues?

 

[Qrox]

WTF is going on. 2nd time today that I have been disconnected. I had to restart my router cause I got a iburst msg saying that I am capped. I am definitely not close to capped. I have more than a gig of cap remaining and have the 64kbs "service" as well... problems just keep getting more and more... I really need to get ADSL ASAP
