No stress for the v6, is this from the same ubuntu VM? or from your PC? I see you're able to reach this server, can you perhaps check if the ubuntu server can too?|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Quick test from Seacom, same result. Seems to be a Canonical issue.
Good evening,
Thank you for your patience. Please note that the backhaul vendor has notified us that services to Kraaifontein are affected by unplanned emergency maintenance at a damaged manhole in the area. Fibres are being respliced into a permanent new joint to ensure future stability. Due to the number of fibres being re-spliced (144), maintenance is expected to last 6-8 hours. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Kind Regards,
Callum,
Web sQuad Support.
Thanks for letting me know about this. I've spoken to the tech who actioned this response, and he's acknowledged the lapse in judgement here - quick firing responses for a large outage and failing to read your issue thoroughly. We do apologise for this and we will make sure this does not happen again.Been having some weird issues since earlier today.
I'm a bit disappointed by the responses in the ticket (#366545) that dont seem to acknowledge anything I say.
But this latest response is the most disappointing with me being given random info of a place thats literally on the other side of the country compared to where I currently am
This isn't the websquad support that I'm normally familiar with @websquadza
Looking at our GGC graphs, nothing showed up last week. Still an issue?Guys, YouTube services acting up again, everything is buffering and loading at lower quality, something is definitly up
