Check sentech website... they say there is a problem with "one of South Africa's major service providers" which is apparently causing the problem
 
It returned to some resemblance of normality at about 3pm... Lets hope it manages to hold up for the weekend
 
Things working fine on ADSL, iBurst, and most other providers. So it's Sentech.
My ISP told me yesterday (because I was having problems with my site propagation) that some SAIX DNS servers are having problems. I quote 'The problem appears to be isolated to two of SAIX servers, namely 196.43.1.11 and 196.43.1.14. We advised our clients to make use of an alternative SAIX DNS server. For additional information of available SAIX Name servers, please browse to: http://www.saix.net/cgi-bin/saix_dns.pl'.
 
The 196.43.1.11 - 196.43.1.14 and 196.25.1.11 (primary) are always giving some kind of trouble and often deliver a "This page cannot be displayed" or a "Server Timeout" on FF.
I switched to Stormnets or WebAfrica's as they are 100% better and very rarely fail.
