Some sites down?

My internet is *@%*@#%@#% again, not even gonna bother contacting Axxess as their support is absolutely useless; probably gonna cancel with them as they don't seem to have a clue how to provide efficient customer support. A turn-around time of 4 days to reply to an e-mail is just plain pathetic. I don't care if they keep saying the problem is with SAIX as I am a customer of theirs and I unfortunately don't have the authority to query SAIX on the issue, THIS IS THEIR JOB!
 
The same thing has been happening here for the past week or two. Using the SAIX proxy usually fixes things, but I don't want to have to change that for every second site I try to open.

Even the OpenDNS site doesn't work properly without the proxy. :mad:
 
This issue is getting really ridiculous, i am realyl losing a lot of money due to telkom's incompetance, its been going on for three weeks now, late at night its fine, during the day the european sites are if not slow inacessable. I am starting to think they are doing it on purpose, with telkom idiots anything is possable.
 
It's started AGAIN! :(

I'm starting to wonder why I bother paying for a service that doesnt work! :confused::mad:
 
I have just been called to a client that had ADSL installed yesterday and all was fine, now they are having problems. New client so I have not seen the setup yet, just hope I don['t spend hours when its actualy an unadmitted telkom issue :(
I only charge if I fix it, so telkom outages cost me in cash, but I guess I make it up in goodwill.
 
check what dns the router has been assigned
if using a saix based adsl acc.

see if the router have been assigned these dns server 196.43.53.190 and 196.43.54.190

Yep gmail wont open anymore, and other sites are way slow
 
Same here. 246mb firmware upgrade for my ipod is gonna take about 10 hours. On Openweb uncapped 512kb. This really sucks !
 
also having problems loading sites but is anyone else having a problem logging in to windows live messenger?
 
no, I really wish ISPs would notify their clients when they have network problems, or at least relay messages from SAIX/IS to their clients.

I've heard nothing from any of my ISPs; Axxess, WebAfrica and TI

In the mean time, try use a web messenger such as www.ebuddy.com or mobile messenger.
 
Can anyone connect to Windows Live Messenger???
I've been stuggling the entire day. No Luck....

Is this a Microsoft issue or ISP issue?

I'm on Vodacom 3G using prepaid data bundles with a Novatel MC950D USB modem.
 
microsoft.com doesnt load as well as home.live.com
been to an internet cafe yesterday and their international was down.
Whats going on?

EDIT: I can log in with live messenger but can`t chat
Anyone else??
