Don't worry. Telkom is always responsible for a screw-up somewhere, so no swearing in their direction is ever a complete waste.

Steam seems to work intermittently atm. At time of writing is up again, having been down about an hour ago.

I personally believe that in today's World where online services are even more crucial to everyday-life than ever before, people who disrupt services like these should face jail time. No bail. Just plan jail time.

Thanks for this James, was wondering why my origin would not connect this morning.

What usually happens in these cases is the willing or unwilling participants that have no idea how anything actually works are going to get there ip's logged and nailed, while the guys who know whats cooking and instigated this are going to vanish into the interpipe ether.

Kids with to much free time, then again America is snowed in so they are bored. Still it's just pointless and they should get jail time for this, effectively they stole sales for these guys like robbers at a store.
