Telkom international ADSL connectivity problems

This is probably the reason.

My monitoring of international sites picked this up at just about 04h10 this morning.

There is a SAIX notice regarding the outage too.

Note, it is not all international traffic that is affected, but HTTP and some P2P is affected.

Non-HTTP non-P2P should be working.

You Beat me :D
 
Durban, no international traffic :(

My second day of having adsl after like 5 years, and my up time stats are now at 50%
 
Notice Ref : NN0009223
Failure Type : Fault Condition
Status : New
Problem Description : Link - No International browsing on SAIX Shaped ADSL Services. Engineers busy investigating.

The outage began at around the same time of "Software - Planned maintenance to be perform on SAIX Caching Service." at rosebank exchange. its probably this that is causing the issue.

ooo gonnas here comes the dome and smoke and mirrors.
 
I am beginning to experience the same on 8ta.

Some international mail servers of mine has gone down on 8ta. Some international IPs are also busy going down, they include Google, twitter and many more.

Yup, If you put this in manually it works.
Consciously afraid of exposing my technical shortcomings to the MyBB collective of geniuses, please can someone tell me where to "put this in manually" without being too overly condescending or patronising?

Well from my expertise, it does not work in my browser cause that's where I put it.
 
Seems we back online.
Ahh, it seems so. Please don't ignore my request above though for future reference. (Despite it sounding like something an inexperienced virgin might ask of his new bride on his wedding night...)
 
Yip, or "yep" as they say now, it's back up. Something i seem to remember saying on my wedding night. Still worried about the dome and smoke and mirrors more than ever before though.
 
Damn and I was going to phone and ask for my 1mb today.
 
Telkom informed MyBroadband that the problem was caused by a caching server hardware failure which started around 07:00 on Friday morning.

This problem was resolved at around 10:00, and all services should be back to normal.
