Seacom Update

[admin]

Based on the latest feedback we have received from Seacom this afternoon , it now seems likely that the repairs to their undersea cable will only be completed by Friday the 30th of April. The work is being severely hampered by poor weather conditions at sea. Whilst we have been able to secure alternative international bandwidth for the full duration of the repairs, there is some congestion on these links and it is affecting our service. Bandwidth-intensive applications such as peer-to-peer will therefore be de-prioritised until sufficient capacity once again becomes available.

We apologise for any inconvenience that this may be causing you and thank you for your patience during this time.

We will continue to monitor the situation on an ongoing basis and as and when we receive updates we will notify you via our Free The Web site and via our online outages noticeboard at Network Status Notices

Kind regards
MWEB Operations

Hi Meneer Andries, welkom terug.

Any news on the uncapped status that telkom customers have been getting for a few days now, I hope the glitch in the system lasts until the end of the month.

[lilythepink]

Ag no, man, Wayne. I didn't know about the uncapped status with Hellkom. Have just last week paid for an extra gigabyte. Now I feel robbed!

[mellowred]

Does that explain why my connection has been up and down during the past week. At times it has been so slow I thought I'd finished my 2nd gig for the month.

Excuse my ignorance, but I don't really understand the technical side. I just know that my ISP is dependent on Hellkom.

My line is very slow and unstable.

Local (BOB) is fine, but most other pages dont even show up!

So much for any BF Bad Company 2....
