Seacom Slow???

[Smokey_sa]

Hi is it just me or is the seacom connection slow at the moment. Browsing and HTTP downloads crawl.

Regards

yup, they seem to be having issues.
every now and then when hitting (some) international sites things crawl or don't connect at all.

[Alestorm]

Yep, very slow here. MWeb, start kicking in that SAT 3 connection please...

MWeb Cape Town is permanently on SAT-3 now. The current slowdown in CT occurred during load balancing, when ex-SEACOM traffic from Joburg is routed via CT to SAT-3.

Seems more stable at present, but P2P probably dead...
