Vox Telecom Fatpipe

Hmmm. So I just checked my DSL router and it looks like I have been assigned an IP in the 41.62.xx.xx range, and some of my services are detecting this IP as unusual activity originating in Brazil.

Should I be worried?

It is unusual but maybe IP Routing has been accepted as an Olympic Event this year.

Same here - My IP address is reporting that it belongs to "Agence De L'informatique de l'Etat du Senegal" which can be seen from the speed test results page on MyBroadband. Their website is http://www.adie.sn/ - all very strange.

Maybe following the elections yesterday, we have been merged into Senegal?? :p:sick::wtf:

Vox Telecom hereby announce that due to under utilised IP’s within the Telkom DSL network, need to renumber our DSL customer base with Telkom.
The plan around this is to acquire temporary IPv4 address space from Afrinic, which will be advertised and updated throughout the Vox Telecom network. Telkom will add this temporary address space as a new IPPool on their BNG’s for Vox Telecom. On August 3rd 2016, customers will be disconnected and reconnected on the new IPPool using the temporary address space. Telkom will then remove our existing 197.245.0.0/16 prefix from their BNG’s and recreate it using smaller prefix allocations per BNG. The evening of August 4th 2016, users will again be disconnected and reconnected on our existing (renumbered) 197.245.0.0 prefix.
The temporary prefix will then be removed from all peering filters and from the Vox Telecom network and returned to Afrinic.

From the official thread.
