Oh btw, if I didn't mention it recently, Housie has been exposed as a liar. :)

who also has difficulty with basic words and concepts
- the latest example in this thread being FUD as evidenced by this nonsensical statement:
I said it before and will say it again. There is no FUD, whatsoever.

The only FUD on this forum is with those who know they are about to end up in s**t. They are now looking for as many people as they can to comfort themselves.

This comfort, however, will be short-lived.

We need a mod in these e-toll threads. I have encountered trolling, Off-topic, spam and members attacking each other. This is pathetic.

the spewing of FUD is motivated either by trolling or a financial incentive - the charitable view is that House is a troll, the evidence is that he is in the business of using FUD as a business but in light of ChocolateBadger's remarks lets steer to topic:

So to confirm at least one service for malicious websites online identifies SANRALs site on a blacklist and Telkom Internet and Mobile has for more than 24 hours not been able to deliver the content on the SANRAL site. Can anybody knowledgable of such things give a breakdown of possible explanations so we can chase down and diagnose whether or not a case can be made for all ISPs to block SANRAL access for consumer accounts?

Honestly I'm not terribly interested but what we know is that their web site is not reachable via DNS or the direct IP from the US or Telkom locally. This indicates routing issues at the BGP level.
