Vumatel outage ?

[Kloofvreter]

Hopefully before the next outage at 20:00

Don't count on it.

 

[CT_Biker]

Is this not not a DHCP Storm/DDOS with each Vuma GPON requesting a new IP address?

Why are Vuma using DHCP/UDP IP.

Could someone maybe do a Monlist query on their servers?

 

[DuckKnuckle]

Came back on 17min ago in Brackenfell. Still waiting for a connection

Internet back up after disconnecting and reconnecting power to the CPE after a minute

 

[wrathdelivery]

Eish. This is embarrassing.

 

[TheMightyQuin]

I hate to say it but my Vuma came back on immediately this time after the shedding.

And it's still on.

But wait until everybody gets home now after work and reboot theirs or turn it back on....

Yeah this has been established days ago in various threads.

Same here, whatever they changed last night, should stay. It seems like it did the trick.

It is not a PON network. It is active ethernet

It is not a PON network. It is active ethernet

Well that clears that up, then.

Thanks Koos......

Oops same here.
We had loadshedding at 8pm till 9pm WTF

 

[Rickster]

A friend just rang me up now, he never had load shedding but all of a sudden the network dropped, solid blue light on the CPE, could the DHCP possibly gotten confused and assigned him his IP then booted him off?

Im also with Vuma and I live 7 min from him and mine is fine.

 

[meelman19]

loadshedding 20:00 - 21:00
its now 22:15 and my internet is still down (Goedemoed, Durbanville).
tried resetting the cpe and router about 15mins ago, still no luck.

recovery after this afternoon's shedding was much faster than tonight....

 

[tibbydudeza]

Well it is now truely farked like Monday evening.

Btw Who is the CEO of WebAfrica and his contact details ????

 

[PegZ]

Bothasig /Edgemead having Vumatel problems as well. Power back since just after 9pm. Internet still not authenticating. Cpe/modem reboots unsuccessful. It's now an hour later, still no joy.

Same at Bothasig this afternoon.

I think the big question is, will MyBroadband contact Vumatel for a truthful answer to the prolonged outages, and what are they doing to ensure that they overcome the problems caused due to load shedding ?!?

I never thought that I would say this..
I'm thinking, why not just go back to a Telkom 10mb adsl? The telkom exchanges have always had reliable backup generators. I NEVER lost adsl internet for extended periods as we are now having with Fibre.....
Maybe Fibre was just too good to be true, but we all jumped on the high speed bandwagon that we so desperately wanted. Me included.

Just a reminder to those that do not know. Every time a zone get power again, a new storm start and hits the servers hard.

This can and does knock live clients offline as the network takes strain.

Latest update:
"Current Status: DHCP processing went through very smoothly and services
restored in good time since the power restored at 14h30.

The affected areas will be impacted by another power drop between 20h00 -
22h30 tonight.

We will continue to monitor the process and will feedback tomorrow morning.

If any customers' service is still down in the Cape Town area and not
currently impacted by load shedding, please have them reboot both the CPE
and the router to restore connectivity."

They are working around the clock to try maintain the storms and keep client downtime to a minimal.

 

[meelman19]

ok after another cpe and router reboot 10mins ago, it seems I have a connection (albeit with some packetloss)
22:50

*** SPOKE TOO SOON***
Im down again after a brief connection

I still don't understand why there was no storm after the load shedding at 2:30, but there is at 9:17 tonight?
