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

Still down in Brackenhurst. No signal from either of my modems. :( sending from phone...
 
I've got signal here. Tower on the NG Kerk?

Frankly, seems faster than it's been in months!

Yep, that's the one. How long have you had connectivity? I've just tried now and a couple of hours ago. Still no signal.

It's probably faster because no one else is online :D

email from @lantic....

Dear Customer,

Your current loss of iBurst connectivity is due to an issue with our upstream wireless supplier, WBS, the iBurst network provider in South Africa.
As you may have read in the press there is a dispute between the Independent Communications Authority (ICASA) and WBS/iBurst/Broadlink regarding licence fees, which has resulted in the confiscation of some of WBS' core network equipment.
@lantic & Vox Telecom was not given any warning about this action and due to a breach of contract between ourselves and WBS, has lodged urgent complaints with both WBS and ICASA in an effort to have the services restored.
Every single Service Provider in South Africa making use of WBS/iBurst/Broadlink for last mile connectivity has been affected.
We apologise for the inconvenience and assure you that we are doing everything in our power to get this issue resolved. We will keep you up to date with any further developments.
From what we understand, the WBS team is currently in consultation with ICASA in order to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
Please feel free to contact your local franchise or our national sales team to assist with.
