Vox Telecom Fatpipe

It looks like Telkom, Vox and MWEB are down, both my Afrihost and WebAfrica accounts work.

Totally dead here in East London - typing this on my AH backup account.
I think this is all my fault - was with Afrihost a few years back and loved it - told everybody else about them and they went to ****. Moved to WA and they were great - told everybody about them and they went to ****. Moved to Vox - well you can guess the rest. If anybody wants an ISP destroyed just let me know and I will sign up to them - shouldn't take long from there.

I'm so glad it's you. I thought it was me seeing I have the same. With Vox now for ~ 2 months.

But in all fairness I paid for a service so I have the right to be despondent/frustrated when I'm disrupted in the middle of something with SSH timing out while editing a config file remotely.

Then again, in all fairness, it's not Vox's fault. And that frustrates me even more :)

Time to troll myBB
 
Good day all

Vox Telecom services are currently impacted as a result of a failure with the upstream network providers, SEACOM and WACS. Upstream provider engineers are currently attending.

Someone needs to take the shovel out of voxy's mouth. Just own up if it is a capacity issue. Although that begs the question as to why all the specials when not even a month later, big issues.

Sad really. Seen this movie before.

I thought the one was failover for the other?

Stealing info from another thread:
"Both failures appear to be terrestrial - the WACS failure is confirmed to be in the UK and the SEACOM failure is reported to be in Egypt. Subsea failures would have been much more worrying as they can take days, even weeks, to fix, whereas terrestrial failures are generally addressed within hours.

I can confirm on the WACS side there was multiple fibre breaks in London, the redundant route also failed due to hardware."
 
Thank goodness my Telkom is still working slow but working.
Edit:
I cannot connect to anything that uses Cloudflare as it routes to via Johannesburg.
