For once I think I hast escaped this

 

[PR1Y35H]

For once the issue is not linked to Mweb, thank God!

 

[Dohc-WP]

telkom is miraculously running at full speed atm

 

[czc]

I haven't noticed anything ... yet.

 

[Weasley]

mine is slow tonight and i am with afrihost. not sure if they use seacom

 

[AlienTaker]

Well that explains a lot seems i went off at my isp for the wrong reasons today. guess i'll have to mail them and apologize.

 

[Ichigo]

Afrihost has gone slow with gaming now 508 ms thought I was using Telkom by mistake had to check twice .

Telkom has gone from 600 ms to 200 ms lol

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.

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.

Afrihost has been fine today and Telkom went to high latency again lol its like a seesaw

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.
