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

[Psychopompous]

Anyone else experiencing total outage of iBurst (Randburg/Northriding area's)? modem showing no signal at all and iBurst website not resolving (connecting on tablet via 3G)

Same here - Randpark Ridge. Also apparently unable to reach the call centre.

Seems it is affecting everyone. The hamsters have gone on strike! oh dear

Cresta. Dead for last 1/2 hour..

 

[noswal]

Similarly in observatory/bruma/kensington

So clearly it is a complete system failure on their part. Let's hope icasa haven't confiscated their equipment again............

 

[Stõrmza]

Lets just hope they are not trying to use the iBurst network to post the announcements/Updates that the network is down...

Although I wouldn't put it past them.

Same issue here. Down in Gauteng...

Some serious BS right here... I just wanted to play some damn games tonight.

 

[christiaan65]

Pretoria, Waterkloof, down as well!

 

[noswal]

[RVFmal]

Lights on. HUGE latency.........

iBurst Twitter feed has posted:

We are aware of the technical issues at
present and are working on them. Thank
you for your patience.

Well, my patience had to extend to all of last night and this morning as it only became usable after 7am.

Sigh after being with them for so long i finally gave up!
got my ADSL installed last week. and canceled with them same day.

 

[Psychopompous]

it only became usable after 7am.

It's been acceptable for me since I connected just before 08h00; however, I've just (last ten minutes) had a disconnect and 0% signal, and I'm still experiencing issues with some sites, so clearly not all is well.

Back to having a constant red light.

Some kind of info about WTF is going on would be lovely.

Iburst upfront ????

Iburst does not have a reputation for transparency.........................

International down in Cape Town?

International down in Cape Town?

Just noticed the same thing, international seems to have died

There are clearly still issues and oddities: for instance, for the last two days, though I've been able to connect pretty continuously, my IP address is consistently in different ranges from that I was seeing in the weeks before the network failure. Also, perhaps for this reason, I see odd issues with timeouts and connection failures (some of which may be due to the appearance of these iBurst IP addresses on blacklists - those in the 41.*.*.* range have certainly been blacklisted before).
