WTF???

[arf9999]

I checked my speed as I do daily with Rodent's speed test:

Your current bandwidth reading is: 128.10kbps
which means you can download at 16.01 KB/sec. from our servers.

Huh?[:0]

But I can't test a http download cos I can't browse IS???

Is international DNS down???




MW128, Tower 50 (Northpark Plaza), Signal:12%,S-N-L: 5, BER: 40%

 

[Wireless2]

Yes International was down at their provider

now up again

Didnt you get the support e-mail ??

 

[Brolloks]

Yes it is. Got an email from sentech saying they have issue with international link. No ETA as to when fixed.

 

[chuckl]

International connectivity on IS and SAIX seem to have been off all morning. Just come back online

 

[dorris]

Yeah, IS is the holdup, I also could not get connectivity this morning from my ICL account, which is runnning through IS

 

[arf9999]

hmmm that's probably why I've got some bandwidth...can't f@#$ing use it, but it's there.

I suppose noone's p0rn download got interupted...[]

[Donovan]

Back up.

 

[beerygaz]

Don't be too quick to lay the blame at IS's doorstep. It was actually a crossed circuit in Spain, and Hellkom took their own sweet time troubleshooting the problem.

 

[nonroker]

erm...that's not right...If it is, then IS lied to us when they sent out the alert....

 

[nonroker]

ignore my previous post.
Just got the other email.
Seems IS have multiple issues today [!]
