VOX down?

[-=AlteredNeon=-]

I csn only get to certain sites, anything Google is dead for me though

I rebooted my ONT and after that no authentication at all, however the Fiber link (Frogfoot) is active and syncing.

Didn't this happen before in the last 2 years where their entire offerings went down ?
If I recall it was over an hour before things started coming alive.

A few times now in the last two years

Geomagnetic storm hitting Earth on Thursday — all the tech it could knock out

A similarly-powerful geomagnetic storm recently took out 40 Starlink satellites. These are the threats Earth’s technology faces from coronal mass ejections.

I managed to ge through to tech support, but I was nunber 269 in the queue. Left my number for the callback that will never happen. We have had a few outages in the last weeks, but they were all Vumatel related. I get an internet connection, but no throughput. The DNS servers were not responding.

Vumatel worked on whatever a week or so ago, since then internet has been very bad.

My line is flying now though.

Ours was down for about 5 minutes, but neither of us could get to Gmail. Tried Youtube - dead.
It came up and it's fine, but slow. We are on Vox/Crapfoot at the moment.

Sad part is I got it from someone that got it from Twitter.

I knew they had poop when none of their numbers worked and I was number 145 in the queue for the support chat

I am business client, VoIP, firewall, fibre, the works, not a single notification. NADA.

And our VoIP is still down.

Have an SD-WAN solution that would have mitigated that.

The way to do this is to have the notification out of band. I have one at hostafrica as well as one at the aggregation point at teraco.

If your VoIP is at a 3rdparty then that would have remained up as well with a proper SD-WAN solution.

Vox is absolute rubbish,our company is forever having problems with them.
We use the 3CX app through them.Support staff are pathetic.
Any suggestions,recommendation for a better service provider.
We are looking at cancelling the contract due to lack of support
