Seacom suffers downtime in SA

Seacom has announced that there is an outage on its South African backhaul

Seriously · Jan 16, 2014

So Landcom is down!

Hey, I thought it would have come sooner... Seacom has to go down at least 10 times a year.

1st time arrived fast eh!

Hummercellc · Jan 16, 2014

At least Afrihost don't use Seacom.....

@MWebGuy: Penny for your thoughts?

At least land based issues are easier to fix than ones in the middle of the ocean.

Still no redundancy?

It's a great day when Seacom goes down and you don't even notice it.

I agree. Perhaps there is some redundancy....

Fsck that.

Redundancy costs money and makes bonuses, handouts and under-table-payments less.

My "Gold" OW account's literally dead

IziWhatNow · Jan 16, 2014

Does Telkom also use SEACOM? They were already experiencing problems before this, but maybe this is just the cherry on the cake

Thats weird. My OW is perfectly....and since I'm in PTA I should be affected by Midrand.

RyanPCMR · Jan 16, 2014

Didn't even notice a thing with TI.

Segg · Jan 16, 2014

From what I understand mweb still haven't learned their lesson, so glad I'm done with them

Why can't the NSA fit another sniffer without downtime?

Telkom / SAIX does not use Seacom. They run off SAT3/WASC/SAFE.
