I've tried to connect to the saix news server with my webafrica local account but I am not able do so even though I have been able to a few weeks ago..

I've tried "news.saix.net" , "news.saix.co.za" as my servers but I am unable to connect to them.

Could it be a problem on my side?

I'm using the Telkom mega105wr modem, maybe it's not setup correctly?

You don't need any special settings to connect to a news server.

I just tried connecting to news.saix.net, and I can't do it either... Webafrica regular SAIX account.

Looks like the server might be down.
 
Connected to saix news server just fine for past couple days and still am. Using TI
 
Dammit! me and my big mouth... its dead now for past half hour :(

Tend to get all you SAIX guys rubbing it in when it is the other way around, so revenge is sweet!

Hehehehe, I totally agree with you 100% now its IS's time to shine ! :D
 
lol did any 1 here using SAIX notice something. They save bandwidth during bussiness hours by limiting the download speed. I maxed my connection but when the clock hit 8am I bearly get 6kbs. Acording to SAIX the news server will resume full speed @ 6pm. We all know this as AKA shapping. It suck but yes I guess traffic would be hectic during bussiness hours thats why!

Yeah, but you should still be able to connect.
 
Yes it connects but the speeds remind me of the days I use dialup. Very sad days indeed.
