When I called WAfrica they said they're still waiting for a response from SAIX... and I agree on the noticeboard comment, I get them all, just a few regional upgrades here and there, nothing specific about any major SAIX international maintenance or upgrade.
And 5 mins ago I was just disconnected from adsl altogether, no IP address assigned to me. Had to wait 15 mins, and then I was back up. Same happened to friend in area. Guess they're working on exchange but once again, nothing on SAIX noticeboard. Very frustrating
