In the actual exchange there are several cards that clients connect to. When these cards need to be replaced for any reason it will be client affecting,\u201d said Lulu Letlape, Group Executive &#8211; Corporate Communications at Telkom.<\/font> <\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">\u201cTime down started at 11:49 but the matter was corrected shortly before 16:00 (on Saturday). Telkom apologises to all clients who were inconvenienced,\u201d she continued.<\/font> <\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">Whilst the apology is appreciated the fact that these \u2018outages\u2019 are becoming more frequent is worrisome causing speculators to wonder if we have another Eskom on our hands.<\/font> <\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">This is the second consecutive problem over the weekends, and users are growing visibly frustrated with the outages. Comments like \u201cWonder if this is to become a regular week-end occurrence?\u201d are starting to appear more often on the MyADSL forums.<\/font> <\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">Yesterday users have also complained that they were unable to access international content, specifically \u2018.org\u2019 domain sites.
