First downtime for 2014, many more to follow for the rest of this year. I Lost count how many times this cable was "broken" in 2013

Articles like this always instill an otherworldly kind of fear in me. I just can't deal with slow Internet and these outages also always take weeks to resolve.

Which ISP you using?

I have a telkom account as well as a openweb account and both are acting up. The Openweb might just be a coincidence but i don't know. Will see what happens over the weekend.

aagh not again hope it doesn't affect my Afrihost account then I can't do any gaming.

Iirc they use both cables. Well, that's what their add says anyway. Still, the congestion on SAT3 is going to be insane.

I had no issues, either - connected fine to CS:GO comp games (average 170ms). Tried out Hellkom again, and my ping was so kak, couldn't even connect, so had to play on the local servers.
