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

The pain of making the point of weaning. Worth the effort to deliver an alternative!

Yes, worth the effort to be down while everyone else have alternative routes! You proved your point - since the peering changes in December there've been more issues than any other similar period of time in the iBurst history!
 
dude, how the helll am i supposed to read tweets when i don't have international browsing? that's just mean

Same boat as you using phone to check...
 
Wow! This is annoying...

No wonder I can't get rid of all my carry over bandwidth...

No international.
 
yup. On Vodacom and working like a charm. iBurst international still down
 
Then why is MTN / Vodacom / etc working like clockwork?

Because iBurst decided to choose peering provider without alternative routes. It's not a failure of the iBurst technology but a failure of management decisions at iBurst.
 
Ah but wait, the new CPA comes in to effect on April 1st, you can cancel then even if you are on contract!

Can't wait for the CPA, everything in this country is going to be free because you wont have to pay for ****ty service. free groceries, free internet, free restaurants
life will be good
 
Still can't log onto Rift or Aion. F.U.C.K.
Pretty please (with a cherry on top) sort this out. I'm getting highly annoyed here. Been 2 days and no word on the problem.
 
International outage 20th February 2011

Apologies for the international incident this morning. The SEA-ME-WE-3 cable experienced and outage 5 clicks off Alexandria in Egypt. This resulted in an outage on the east coast route. Our systems are configured to automatically fail-over and pick up traffic on the west coast. However, the cable operator placed a loop on the east coast cable which created a problem with our fail-over.
We dispatched a techie to London Telehouse to resolve the loop.
Going forward we will implement G.8032 to prevent loops from cable operators causing problems.
