I'm also timing out on pings to Google. Google Earth, iTunes Radio, it seems all bandwidth internationally is almost dead.

[MartinMorrison]

Wait 1 second. WTF, Rosebank to New York..... Checking SAIX website......

How the hell is it possible to connect via undersea cable from Rosebank (a landlocked city) to New York. Also check this out .....

http://www.saix.net/diagrams/ipnet_jul05.pdf

It makes no sense, the only 2 international connections should be SAFE and SAT3. I doubt weather it can be an international fault as only one city is reporting problems. Could be a local SAIX stuff up, or could it be that you are not using the cable as previously thought. Still it could be congestion, which is impossible on ADSL as each DSLAM has a unique connection to the ISP, but if the ISP is overloaded it could explain it.

If Telkom cannot cope with the demand, they would naturally increase pricing to create less of a demand for their crappy service. Hence November's price increase.

Lands slide overseas has impacted the restoration of our link. Overseas technicians are waiting for permission for access from the Government as this is a disaster area. from http://www.noticeboard.saix.net/
