Hope it sorts itself out for you soon :)

Have you tried rebooting your router maybe?

Er... oddly... mine just became completely distorted >.>

You jinxed it! :p

Ending the call and starting it up again fixed it.
 
my router akso bombed out this morning. could not sync after numerous times. it comes up and then drops and then comes up later in the day logged a call at telkom. i noticed there is also a noise on the telephone line. i need a better router.
 
News24 sites?

anyone experiencing DNS issues with all news24 sites.
News24.co.za,health24.co.za, beeld.co.za,rapport.co.za etc
All seem to not work since yesterday.
 
-Turned out to be a DNS issue. All good!

Just a quick question: Are there any issues at the moment?
I can just barely open MyBB and Gtalk but almost nothing else :cry:

Morning Praeses,

What do the tracert's say?
Noticing that our call volume for ADSL is also fairly high this morning.
 
OK all international sites are working again, except facebook. News is also still down.

Thanks Praeses!!
These will help a lot. I'll pass it up to Engineering to have a look at.
 
DNS seems to be messed up somehow. Could only access all international sites (except facebook) through google's DNS.

DNS servers 196.220.59.188 and 196.220.59.189 only gives me local access.

OK it's confusing me now. Seems only some international sites are down - suspiciously the ones using SSL, although gmail is working, just a bit slow it seems.
