Seacom cable fault press release

Hi, go and read here in connection with the cable fault....

http://www.news24.com/SciTech/News/Seacom-cable-on-line-soon-20100428

Apparently the issues will be resolved today... Hopefully

 

[Lano]

SMW4 ETR may complete tonight, not definite guys with oversees hosted services are kacing them selves.

 

[DeSLAM]

OK guys...Reminder

Those of us who CANNOT connect INTERNATIONALLY also cannot READ international URL links.

There I was thinking this is obvious; eish

 

[JHatman]

I have 512 mweb, and really haven't had many issues. I can do downloads with JDownloader, though slowly, browsing has been close to perfect, vids haven't been streaming that well, but not dead. Gaming sadly though is close to impossible.

I'm able to log onto wow every now and then but I suspect the connectivity has been re-routed cause I'm getting about 20k lag

True, but I worry that if we copy and paste a whole article we might be performing some sort of copyright violation... or not?

Got international access back on Axxess uncapped.

 

[MrG]

[Paragon]

[JHatman]

Axxess still down here in Durbs. Another tumbleweed just rolled past my router.

 

[Crusader]

Well it's not completely back to normal, but at least I can now access some sites, even if it's slowly.

 

[MrG]

My pages still completely time out so that is truly strange.

 

[MyDraadloos]

Using the Afrihost proxy to get by, but most international sites still timing out.

 

[MVGL]

All this before the World Cup...MMMMHH Strange.

 

[Crusader]

0.16 Mb/s Down and 0.18 Mb/s Up on 4 Mbs line.

Speedtest result

 

[Gimaru]

Still down here Afrihost uncapped. Ag wat, 1 and half hour till they said it be fixed.
