I'm getting Gateway timeouts on a number of websites since about 3pm yesterday (31st May)

Specifically the bbc.co.uk, theregister.co.uk among others.

Gmail (which is the site that I most have problems with normally) seems to be OK.

Anyone getting the same thing?

Thanks,

Dave Coventry.
 
Yes, I've been dealing with the same problem. Telkom said this morning to call SAIX, but the number sounds like a fax, so the guys most probably are late for work :)
 
The SAIX number 0860 007 249 is definitely not working for me. If anyone on here has access to the SAIX notice board, please check for us if there is a solution to problems with browsing international websites. I need to get work done...
 
Having similar problems this morning, but it's not clear that the problem is a simple all international sites issue. Can get onto time.com no problem, for example, but not such luck with bbc.co.uk or hp.com for a driver download.
 
Thanks, that's basically what I wanted to know; if it was my setup or a general thing.

If it's a general thing I don't doubt that they will be working on it, although it has been down for an unusually long time.

Do you think it's local? I note you are in Johannesburg; I am in Craighall Park.

Yeah.

I'm having no problems getting into cricinfo.com :)

(and gmail seems to be fine as stated above).
 
I'm having the same problems, started this morning, in CPT CBD

Most importantly I cant get to 9gag.com
 
Had the same problems yesterday late afternoon and even now there are some issues with websites.

I am in Oaklands - maybe local, but I don't think they will work on it unless they know about it. Since it's impossible to report it with their number sounding like it's disconnected or put on fax mode, they will not become aware of it too soon. Telkom guy said it was a link problem, so it only affects certain international sites, not all.

It's almost like it's only affecting the sites I was on at the time that it started giving me the Gateway error. I was on three sites at the time and those are the sites that I can't access.
 
+1 same issue
Called Telkom Internet and got told there's an international link problem 'latency is very high coming from Hong Kong.'

Wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry to be honest. Problem started yesterday so asked for what priority the issue was on... Got told theyre working on it and it will be resolved shortly.

Fingers crossed.
 
Lol, i've been spamming another thread about this problem. Use this as proxy it helps a bit, dsl-cache.saix.net:8080. This gatewya problem has been happening for me for a few weeks though
 
You biscuit! Tnx lilggg. Can get to xda-developers through there now.
 
International sites not working.

Seems Telkoms international link is broken.

having the same issue :(

hopefully they will fix it soon.
 
Yea - none of the pr0n sites were working for me last night either ...
