Please PM me your ticket reference and I'll have it escalated.

Sorry for not getting back sooner. Not had access to the mail I use for iBurst. But it seems reeding further from last time I was on here that other people also picked up issues connecting to Europe. If you still think it would help I will still PM you my iBurst ref# regarding routing to Europe going through Washington and iBurst then telling me to contact Vodacom i will do so

Reported problems in Durban. Investigation in progress.

 

[Durandal]

eyeBurst signal graph because it plots all the traffic around you over time - information much more useful than a single signal strength number of unknown duration/stability please. It's a Java app (which should pretty much be around anyway..) and the link above will get you the app. Logical, clear install routine is here (I may be biased...)

If'n you could do that, we can take a look at what you've got to work with..!

Du-ude...My technical knowledge is limited to turning the PC on! I need to download something that ends with .exe and does everything for me. Those instructions look like the kind of things that will destroy my OS in one go, lol...

 

[r00igev@@r]

Durban degradation has been resolved.

 

[marlboro]

Any issues today? Getting downloads and DNS time out issues pretty much the whole day.

Unaware of any reported issues.

 

[eltherza]

I'm getting DNS errors this morning. Cant get to gmail nor speedtest.net

 

[r00igev@@r]

General degradation

We are experiencing major upstream transit degradation.

Upstream partners have confirmed national problem. Will keep you posted with developments.

 

[Wolfy]

DNS error AGAIN

Guess what?!?! This is the only website I can visit using Iburst! with the rest just giving me DNS errors. Im tired of getting this crappy message 10 times a week. FIX IT!

 

[GreGorGy]

And.... the add above reads "ERROR"....

ERROR

The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?

The following error was encountered:

Connection to googleads.g.doubleclick.net Failed
The system returned:

(111) Connection refused
The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.


I think it may be a global issue today. Some sites work, some don't...

 

[divv]

Hope we're going to get discount on our usage today -haven't been unable to use my afterhours VAS for hours!!

 

[cemt]

And how is this my problem? You take my money every month without fail, now provide the service.

 

[Wolfy]

Wow you guys have been experiencing A LOT of problems this year, its insane! Cant see why we are the only wireless subscriber having all these problems. If its not bad downloading during the day, its horrible ping at night.

Oh well its almost November!

 

[Whiptaka]

Cant see why we are the only wireless subscriber having all these problems.

Uhm....

I'm just going to assume that you've never been on the Vodak@k 3G network before in your life.

EDIT: @ r00igev@@r , any idea when this will be fixed? Your upstream provider chose a very bad day to have issues....

While this is a confirmed problem today, may I ask what browser you're normally using? If it's Chrome, get rid of it.

 

[Wolfy]

Mozilla FireFox, dont like Chrome cant use it for my leeching sites

 

[Bronzed_Skarab]

Why is it that the network diagnostics on the iburst website itself always seem to show "no problems, everything is cool, have a nice day" even a we all suffer and struggle with network downtime (from a variety of sources)? Either remove the incorrect reporting of network status or have the courage to update it and show the problems.
