Verizon-Telkom network problems

The problems were due to peering / connectivity issues between SAIX and Verizon. Hetzner, the well known hosting company utilizing the Verizon network, said that the parties involved are aware of the problem and are attending.

“One of the Telkom ATM virtual circuits in the Telkom network went down which resulted in slightly higher latency between the Johannesburg/Cape Town route. Impacts to Verizon Business corporate customers were minimal,” said Edwin Thompson, senior executive – operations, regulatory and legal, at Verizon Business SA.
