Hey...

I live in the silver lakes area in pretoria, line dropped. Any1 else having this problem?

The adsl line actually shows "Up" and synched, but cant connect to any isps. Have tried 3 diff ones.
 
I am having the same issue. My ADSL is syncing, but it cannot connect to my ISP account. Looking at my router stats it seems to have been trying to connect since earlier this afternoon.

When I try to manually connect using through windows it sits at "Connecting through WAN miniport".

Edit: I should add that I am in the Killarney area of Johannesburg.
 
Strange, mine has also been since this afternoon. Reported it to telkom, so should be fixed by the time i retire in 2042.
 
Having the same issue here (Also in Silver Lakes). It went down at about 16:00 for me. The line still syncs, but it wont authenticate any ISP account.

This also happened to me about a week ago, but only lasted around 1 hour.

I have the same problem, here in Centurion where us poor people live :(
 
I saw a bunch of Telkom trucks down in hans strydom just outside the Silver Lakes exit just now.....they seemed to be working on a big connection there in the field. Seeying as they are working at 11:30pm its most likely related to the problem. Hopefully they get it sorted....and hook up metro ethernet and 10mbps while their at it :P
 
Line and ADSL down in Elardusk Park as well. Router syncs to exchange but no connection out from there.

Edit: They are currently busy with maintenance on the Elardus Park exchange.

Anyone else experiencing the same issue again since about midnight Tuesday? The line still syncs, but ISP account won't authenticate.
