Seacom in trouble again

[Roadrunner]

MWeb just posted the following on Facebook:

http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/FreeTheWebSA

"Please note that we have lost up to 50% capacity on our Seacom bandwidth due to a failure on one of the routes. We are prioritising traffic accordingly using our remaining capacity. There’s no confirmed ETA yet for when our full capacity will be restored but as soon as we know, we will update everyone."

I'm via Afrihost (IS, so Seacom) and I have full speed. Must be MWeb only.

Maybe this time my manager will let me work from home, my home ADSL doesn't rely on seaweed to work

Damnit thats unfair. I really am getting kind of sick of mweb now, speeds are rarely ever great. Still haven't heard of anything that is better/as good though.

As mentioned, it's probably not a SEACOM issue (my downloads on Afrihost [which uses SEACOM] are running fine), probably MWeb's connection TO SEACOM. Best to contact them directly.
