Telkom & 8ta website problems

Anyone else getting gibberish like this when trying to open Telkom's fault logging website or certain parts of 8ta's website?

Edit: Seems to be working again.

Just tried to purchase R1,800 airtime to convert to a 60+60GB data bundle...all went fine, entered the 3D secure OTP SMS'd to me, got to the final confirmation page and then... http://puu.sh/3OzGs.png

Tried Firefox and Chrome, same result.

Spoke to Mayanda (spl?) at 8ta's call centre, apparently there are no airtime purchases showing on my account for today and also nothing wrong with the credit card facility on 8ta's website. She recommended I purchase airtime via Internet Banking, but Standard Bank allows only max. R500 to be purchased per day. Too lazy to go buy an airtime voucher...

8ta rep, can you help?

Turns out Standard Bank's card division blocked the airtime purchase attempts because it was seen as "suspect activity". No idea what exactly was suspect about it, but it's all good now.

Just bought R50 from my BlueBean Standard Bank card..... Worked fine..... I think its the amount that standard bank is worried about.....

I noticed large payment with credit card online promts a very fast call from standard bank fraud department wanting me to verify....
