Hey Friends

There is currently a major cable break over at SAIX, affecting SAIX account holders.

Engineers are attending.

ETA: Unknown at present.

Kind regards

I spent an hour trying to fix this damn thing up with no success. Eventually phone the DSL helpline and it is engaged and I am like ok... maybe its not my line. Phone 10210, there is a problem. I shoulda just phoned telkom first.
 
IMO, this is no cable break, this is DNS servers under virus attack and being switched off.

This report is not accurate. The DNS problem arose at 12:37am, not 7:30am. Look at all the posts in the other threads on this section in the early hours of the morning! They were not restricted to the Pretoria area.

I was able to resolve it by using OpenDNS's name servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, via telephone to my daughter at home.
 
I had DNS problems from the stroke of midnight, which I could only resolve by using OpenDNS.
