Telkom LTE crashed nationally?

Eish power back on early... and guess what ? Telkom is working now :unsure:

** edit OK not .. was for about a minute
 
My phone has fallen back to 3G because 4G is completely dead but still no data connection. My router is forced to 4G and it's just stuck on no service. Once I select 3G only it has service but no data connection.
 
Down in Cape Town.. dead as a doornail. Was trying to live stream my son's concert to my parents when it died.

Exactly the same problem I have.
 
Telkom Mobile down, fixed lte, also down. Pretoria North. Only noticed it now as I was watching series.
 
Finally some comms from them

@TelkomZA: Service update: there is an outage impacting national mobile data connectivity. Thank you for your patience while we work to resolve the issue.
 
Now heading for 6 hours of downtime. Seems Telkom's infrastructure is in real trouble. This may well be the next Eskom.
 
01H27, service restored just now. Will see how long it lasts :/

Edit: No LTE/4G available. Only 3G. Tried with different phones and a router.
