dsl.webafrica.co.za "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)"

I received 2 SMS messages saying that I had exceeded my usage limit on two WA ADSL accounts, which is impossible because I've been using HSDPA all day, but when I try going to http://dsl.webafrica.co.za/ I get the message "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)".

Does anyone else have the same problem or is it just HSDPA?

I'm experiencing the same. I'm still able to log in with my UID and PW. Guess it looks like just the page/s have gone pair-shaped.

That is what the website displays yup.
It is not an invalid hostname, somebody placed that page as the website's startup page.
It may have been hacked or they may have fired the wrong person.
 
Web Africa is currently experiencing a technical issue.

Incorrect prepaid is being reflected in some accounts and our phone lines are tied up with calls at the moment.

We are working on the issue as fast as we can and will post on mybroadband when the issue is resolved.

We have no estimated time till resolution at the moment.

We thank you for your patience and apologize for the inconvenience.
 
yip, I received an SMS when this happened ;) hehe

Good luck with fixing it.

WebAfrica is still awesome! :D
 
Holy Moly! It shows my 1GB prepaid as 0mb?

Keep us posted!
 
Hi

Everything should go back to normal once we fix the issue.
