There is no SAT3 failure says Telkom

Yet another lie by Mweb in an attempt to pass on the blame. Caught red handed...
 
haha, I was wondering why my Telkom account never had problems. I thought maybe they were using Eassy capacity :)
 
Why when I view this article it shows me a mybroadband mobile version of it? Then when I click full site it takes me to the index page again and then when I click the article again it is still on the mobile version of the article :confused:
 
Or maybe Telkom is lying? Why would three different ISP's tell the same lie?

Then why has my newly acquired Telkom Uncapped being going like the clappers since day one? No breaks, no interruptions, etc. ? And the latency has been very good so it is not routing via EASSy.

I read the WA releases quite carefully and even they did not directly blame SAT3 but mentioned that it was their onward links from Portugal that was a problem.
 
''According to Telkom, none of its Internet customers are impacted by the failure on a cable between Portugal and the UK''

That's the first paragraph. There is a failure but SA is not affected

'cos Telkom use a different cable link from Portugal to the UK...
 
If there's no problem with SAT-3, why are we getting around 50% throughput on our connection to SAIX?

You're probably not wrong, but a contract is a contract and a service level agreement is just that. If Telkom continue their anti competetive behaviour, they could just find themselves on the receiving end of lawsuits.
 
Questioned about Telkom’s statement in the context of Mweb’s announcement last week, Mweb CEO Rudi Jansen explained that SAT3 takes you as far as Sesimbra, Portugal. Service providers can choose from a variety of options to connect from there all the way through to London, but they are technically not the SAT3 cable.

The problem doesn't lie with SAT3 but rather on a cable between the UK and Portugal, the service providers that Telkom use gave them redundant capacity on their other cables and the ones that WA and M-Web use didn't or they don't have agreements in place for that redundancy.

Telkom gives us Uncapped, and the ISP's begin talk about suing them because of it. Sounds lot like when Telkom wanted to let 8ta customers use their telkom internet cap...

Telkom can give anyone anything they want, as long as they continue to provide their other customers with the service that those other customers are paying for.

On the one side they are telling the world that there's nothing wrong with SAT-3, yet they are telling the ISPs that they can't deliver the bandwidth they are supposed to because SAT-3's down.

Does not compute.
 
There are more than one cable between Sesimbra and London. You can buy bandwidth on demand on that link from the likes of BT.
