This tripped the air-conditioning and resulted in the Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) system, that enables the routing of traffic on the network, to overheat and power down.<\/p>\n
Cell C added that they subsequently deployed additional generators, and that their equipment had been restored.<\/p>\n

Cell C network problems continue<\/h3>\n
While Cell C said all services have been restored, many subscribers are now complaining about poor data connectivity and throughput.<\/p>\n
One Cell C subscriber told MyBroadband that \u201cthe Internet is broken”, and that Cell C told him the current problems are related to the outage on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Users who complained on Twitter about poor network performance were also told by Cell C that load-shedding had resulted in a number of network sites going down.<\/p>\n
When asked by a user if the sites were back up, the Cell C account stated that “the restoration of services can take a while”.<\/p>\n
“Unfortunately, we wouldn’t be able to advise when exactly services will be back up,\u201d stated the account.<\/p>\n
Users of MVNOs running on the Cell C network have also complained of downtime, including FNB Connect customers.<\/p>\n
Cell C was asked for official comment on the matter, but it did not reply to questions about its network problems.<\/p>\n
