Numerous MWEB<\/a> ADSL<\/a> subscribers have reported international connectivity problems tonight (11 September 2012), ranging from slow website surfing to complete international downtime.<\/p>\n

Comments like \u201cInternational just bombed on me\u201d and \u201cInternational extremely slow, and from Cape Town it should go direct via SAT-3<\/a>. Tracert shows very high packet loss, and latency 50% above normal,\u201d started to appear on the MyBroadband forums shortly before 21:00.<\/p>\n

MyBroadband\u2019s own tests on MWEB also showed problems with international connectivity.<\/p>\n

MWEB said that\u00a0both their Seacom<\/a> links were offline and that they were on failover to WACS<\/a>. \u00a0“We have enough capacity on WACS to keep you up and running, but obviously the p2p guys will feel the pinch a bit in the interim,” said MWEB on its social media channels.<\/p>\n

“Our engineers are busy investigating right now and we will update you accordingly once we have the full story,” said MWEB.<\/p>\n
