SEACOM services restored

Hmmm, joy of work/research, haven't been home in 3days so i haven't hand any problems.
 
That explains it

Been wondering why the pings to international has been so high. Made playing games online locally and internationally unbearable. Where I used to get 30ms latency, for the last few days been getting latency of over 150ms.

Was going to seriously considering changing providers on Monday, but seems sorted now.

Uuh... If you were getting pings of 30ms to international servers, I want to know who your ISP is. They must be buying their light in a different reality...
If your pings to local servers were spiking, thats got nothing to do with Seacom either.
 
FTL travel discovered!

Someone call stockholm!

Nobel peace prize winner has been found, FTL is currently in use in SA, reasearch was done and we have a working product!
 
Perhaps My Broadband should instead write articles when there ISN'T a SEACOM issue. That way, you'll be writing less articles and saving yourselves some time :)

Yea as well my ping to saix is now 13 again w00t w00t, oddly enough i switched over to IS after getting average local pings of 160 and it made no difference.
 
Well 6:35am Saturday morning trying to watch www.bbc.co.uk/click video and it stop starts buffers continuous on my 512k line. So noooooo not fixed!! Either that or mweb shaping or is it Neotel, who the hell is giving us crap video experiences!!

Umm, the BBC website has tens of millions of users (particularly in India), so maybe consider that before blaming your ISP. And 6.30am SA time is mid-morning in India, so this is not a good time of day...

I find that most of my BBC podcasts (MP3) download at 30KB/sec (on a 4Mbps line), so they obviously have bandwidth constraints.
 
Yeah, its definitely not resolved. I'm still unable to access certain international urls at all :/
