Called said it was country wide. ETA 1 hour,not sure I believe that :confused:
 
Down @ 15:18, up now. I heard it was the authentication servers. Grahamstown didn’t seem to have problems.

Whatever you did, do it again.

Looking at those second hops it seems you're suffering from exchange congestion in which case it's unlikely that a change of ISP will resolve the problem :(
