Yup Marine1 and I were the first to start posting and it was before 12 today. i believe it started around 11:15am.

I have had service intermittently, but as of right now 15:21 I cannot use Internet or make calls (located in Sandton)

Understood, just pointing out a tiny error in the article... not that I'm a grammar nazi or anything :o
 
The reasons behind the network problems are currently unknown, and there is no firm time or date at which the problems are likely to be resolved.
Will we ever know the truth?
 
MTN is online and up and running .. no problems

Vodacom is totally offline - even the telephonic support is offline...

VODACOM - FAILURE TO RICA ???

:(
 
If your running your business off a cell phone, then you have bigger problems.

Yes telkom! Ffs I also do most of my business over the cellphone because our telkom cables are stolen. The cable have been stolen more than 50 times and telkom is refusing to install cables now.

Not having a go at you, actually was defending your statement.

How about a network reliability article based on widespread outages this year?

Vodacom outages: 20 May 2011, 17 June 2011, 30 June 2011
MTN outages (sorry haven't got dates, but the Gallo manor Data Centre outages caused issues)
Cell-C (Don't have any info so far, maybe I missed something)
8ta - too new to compare I guess.
 
Some East London uses... like me.. have no connection.
I do see my employee next to me on Vodacom as well.. is working fine.
 
Vodacom seems to partially up in Centurion. Can call voicemail and receiving SMS.
 
Where he is supposed to be....working on the problem I am certain.

If he was here answering questions I would be seriously worried. :-)

Better get worried then! :)

Was out of the office, so only had mobile (non)data.

Not sure yet what the problem is, but from my TELKOM landline (in cpt) I can't phone certain Vodacom, MTN or TELKOM numbers, so it looks like something common to all these networks, most likely a big transmission failure.
