SEACOM back online

SEACOM is back

After nearly three weeks of downtime the SEACOM submarine cable is back online. Many ISPs have restored their SEACOM bandwidth.

Finally...Let's hope this was the last failure!

So will Afrihost stop throttling us to death from now onwards???

Dreaming is still an integral part of the South African Broadband Experience. So all I can say is... dream on!

Same question here - have had half speeds since the breaks, better than nothing I suppose. Any idea if they have switched back?

MWeb delayed their switchover, since 6am (Fri 23rd) was too close to peak business hours to start messing with BGP routing:

Edit: The TENET SEACOM graph shows a short glitch (15 mins?) around 14h30, so the cable may not be fully stable yet:

Explains why I lost connectivity on my mweb uncapped at that time.

 

[Devo-sa]

We're all extatic... it only took 3 weeks for something that should have had proper redundancy in place.

Way to go SEAMONKEYS.

 

[burn]

I am not completely happy with these outages but am happier dealing with them than my old fashion capped accounts Few months and redundancy will be there.

 

[bierman]

mweb is proberly so glad now that they kicked so many users off and now they can swim in their bandwith, so let hope their boat sinks

 

[Fearl3$$]

Hopefully the fisherman with their huge Trailers will not go near that place again. It took 10 min to fix, and the rest of the time Seacom was busy setting up Auto aim Miniguns, to keep the fisherman at bay...

 

[moosag]

Someone got caught pulling WIRE again in Africa?? !! Hahaha...

 

[Hmullie]

anybody got a problem with the @dslmweb connection , mine not connecting using @mweb.co.za

 

[Anthro]

On MWEB.. intermittent disconnects from US based Rappelz server and VAC servers on CSS

 

[packetloss]

IS seems to have successfully switched back to Seacom

Wait until the repair ship lifts anchor
