This morning I tried to get to Facebook, NVidia and EA and a few others and they all dont render out, or are just unavailable.

Anyone else on SAIX have problems accessing these sites? I ran tracert to Facebook which died, but the others seemed fine.

:confused:
 
I've got it as well. FB and some other sports sites not working. Thought it was my pc :/
 
The other day I had to resort to using the cache.saix.net:8080 proxy for the first time.
 
Having the same issue with my parent's ADSL. SAIX account. Sigh. Just when I wanted to chill on the Internet after a hard week at work...

Telkom...
 
same problem on an axxess prepaid bandwidth account? anyone know why the sites are down: facebook, bbc football, n4g is really slow, and some others work perfectly, ie skysports.
 
I had the same problem, starting late last night. Couldn't open FBook and a few others as well. Changing to the SAIX cache server helped (although I don't like working through proxy servers).

You can also temporarily use the Open DNS servers to see if it changes anything:
Preferred DNS:
208.67.222.222
Alternate DNS:
208.67.220.220
 
Hearing this at least I know it's not me or my machine. Some sites are very slow, others start loading and then stop.
 
Same here, haven't tried many sites but FB definitely does not work for me

EDIT: i'm on SAIX haven't read if any IS users are having issues
 
Have anyone done a tracert on the sites that are 'down'? Nvidia did not want to load for me last night, but loads now. Facebook is totally dead, but the tracert dies off at as-1.r20.asbnva01.us.bb.gin.ntt.net [129.250.4.20]. Does not seem to be a DNS issue at all though.
 
I also had issues since last night... After reading this I bought an *unshaped* gig at webafrica prepaid and forced it to connect using verizon ([email protected]), then all is well again...
 
tried FB ..... no luck until I refreshed, then it was fine (saix)
 
Just to complete my role in the thread: Until about 4pm I was still having issues, but it seems to be sorted now. (I popped out for a 5pm movie, so I'm not sure what happened in that time - but its fixed so I don't really mind ;))
 
Still having problems with some international sites. Using a Web Africa prepaid account.
 
same here -

guess "end of the month" is early....
 
Most of my sites i visit is down...they stat to load and then seems to just die and stop loading.

axxess unshaped account
 
is Facebook down or is it Telkom SAIX?
 
Fbook is up (I'm on SAIX). If you change to the openDNS servers, do you still have the problem? I had the same problem yesterday until I changed. Now my browsing is fine again.
