Anyone else having random internet connectivity issues? Happened about an hour ago, and just happened again now. Lasts around 5 minutes then everything is back to normal.

Apologies here. Doing some maintenance and improvements work before network freeze tomorrow, not meant to be network affecting, but some routes are taking longer to reconverge than others. All done now.

No worries, was just wondering if I was loosing my mind, or load shedding damaged something, etc, etc, etc :P

Also, network freeze? Doesn't sound good?

Disallowing any changes to be done except maintenance and emergencies

Nope, not loosing it.

Nothing to worry about with network freeze - we enter a period of strict change control with only emergency changes allowed on the network. This basically means we won’t be trying new configs, adding or removing configs, tinkering with circuits etc (unless absolutely necessary) until the New Year.

Vendor support isn’t always at 100% over the festive season, so the best way to minimise risk for our clients is to ensure we have a working config throughout our network and stick to it during this time.. If we don’t break anything and they don’t break anything- our clients can Netflix and Chill without any hiccups while they’re enjoying their leave.

Installations on business circuits grind to a halt today and FTTH at the end of next week. New FTTH installs don’t require any config changes on our end, so those continue as per normal until Vendors close for the year.

Support and maintenance will remain active throughout December- both on our end and our Vendors. We’ll remain active on the forum throughout (please be patient on public holidays) and the support line will stay open and our support mailbox is business as usual throughout.

Looks like WebSquad are using that cable that runs from Africa to Asia, tested a few IP's via their looking glass and getting 150's from CPT to certain parts of Asia :O

Yeah very nice that. Sadly when Afrihost ditched liquid telecoms the China Telecoms route went with it. :confused:

We brought up our Asia routes with China Telecoms Asia traffic only (that means we're only advertised to Asian networks and we only pick up those routes) via the SAFE cable system (with failover via others). This has helped us mitigate many of the issues we previously saw using China Telecoms. We're keeping a close eye on this.
