International connectivity restored on IS network

I am still having problems here...It is very very slow, most pages timed out!
 
still down

Afrihost subscriber and still down on certain sites and slow loading on others. Sites like www.lifehacker.com is not loading at all. Have to admit that I am getting slightly peeved at the consistent problems every few days. Who else can one use in order to bypass the IS server and offers good pricing ? The consistent problems with the line does not create a feeling of future trust.
 
Strange thing is that according to Afrihost the problem is resolved!
 
It's been a frustrating afternoon with so many points down. For those who know how to read Trace Routes, here's the latest on a few sites:

WTF

My torrents running slower than ever :mad: Thanks for the free GB Afritoast but I think it's time we severed our connection. You officially suck! :mad: Come 010111 - I'm canning you!
 
Yip, is messed up tonight. Resets every half an hour or so. But I'm getting some streaming done nonetheless.
