So Is Afrihost Down Again? No more SAT-3?

As a temporary solution, Afrihost has setup a proxy server that will offer international access through our hosting infrastructure untill SEACOM is back online.

Please note that this is experimental and international access speeds will be throttled. Please note that you won't be able to access YouTube and several other media streaming sites and services.

Please set your browser to Automatically detect your proxy settings and set the proxy URL to http://www.afrihost.com/proxy.pac

If you have trouble accessing any websites after SEACOM is active again, please remove the proxy server settings.

Better keep it up until the issue is resolved, I didn't even notice, I was out for 3 days, telkom line issues
 
I doubt Afrihost is up again... or am i wrong? Had a small burst at about 2 but that was it.
 
My international worked all day - browsing only. No downloads (RS, Astra etc) worked. I got a speedtest download rate of about 0.26 on my 384 account - so not too bad considering.
 
Right.

Torrents are dead though... http from hotfileetc is fine on my side. that burst was amazing. was hitting 60kb at one stage on my 384k a/c but 512k line speed.

Fine all day 4Mbps Cybersmart. Full speed downloads and browsing. I think they are working on a different system now.
