On mweb 4mbps uncapped and international speeds are basically nothing. Cant even get onto facebook to complain :|

Edit: Basically nothing just changed to nothing

Same problem here. MWEB 10mbs and only have local access!

 

[PsyMon93]

[AjAx30]

This was just posted on the mweb network status page - http://www.mweb.co.za/helpcentre/NetworkStatusNotices.aspx

MWEB members in all areas may experience slow international internet browsing and email due to a Seacom link failure. Our engineers are investigating.

Can't people in this country keep first world services running? How many issues has the Seacom cable had? And now the Gautrain is offline due to cable theft lol

Doesn't Mweb have backup plans though? I remember that one time Seacom was offline for a while, Mweb was almost unaffected...

Yep, my mweb line's also gone for a ball of s***.

Trying to use my WA account, but I forgot the account details. Fortunately I have it somewhere on my gmail inbox. Unfortunately I can't access gmail. :|

When they say a "cut" what do they mean? surely it takes longer than that to fix?
