What's more of a fail is that that website is hosted in Germany, so SA users can't access it.

Was just about to say, that Network fail, fail to load on my side.

SO I guess its still a test to see when the line is back as it will load then.

Yup - time to seriously consider switching away from MWEB. Minimal disruption obviously means no international sites at all.

And I only saw this now, after killing the dam router about 10 times today, and blaming the children's torrents

Guess I have to go apologize now.....

Haha - me too!

What is the point of redundancy if international barely works at all?

I've been with Mweb for some time now but I've noticed that they constantly having problems. On top of that it's just about impossible to get in contact with them, especially when it's urgent . Their customer service is almost on par with Telkom

I have a capped account with Afrihost as well, I'm using that account at the moment, and speeds are great. Thinking of canceling my Mweb uncapped account giving Afrihost business uncapped a try

Looks good on MWEB now. I had slow browsing up until about 10 minutes ago.

Your capped WA account will only be moved to IS at the end of February. I'm on a Business/Reseller Account.
