Dear MWEB Customer

The Seacom cable, which provides a significant portion of our international capacity, has been damaged off the coast of Egypt in the Mediterranean Sea. Early indications are that it may take up to two weeks to repair the break and restore full capacity. We also have capacity on the WACS cable, which runs up the west coast of Africa, and this is currently able to meet about 45% of our total needs. As a result, most international services will be degraded. We are in ongoing discussions with various operators to secure additional capacity to meet our total requirements until such time as the Seacom cable is fully operational again.

 

We will keep you updated of any changes to this situation via e-mail, our Facebook page and twitter.

Kind regards

Took me 3/4 of an hour to get DM to load, btw.

Don't worry about the tower. 
It will still be standing when your internets are back up.

 

*Glares at the known pranksters* 

RIGHT?!?!

Looool, Moon.

 

Pirates! We actually need you now! Go and find out whats happening out there!

Sorry Mother!! If it ain't one thing, it's another!!

I'm sorry that's happening, Mother.  I hated it when I couldn't get on here.

So, there is damage to the cable system, which provides the internet and they will keep you updated via the internet.  I don't know what to say...

 

I'm sorry Mother, I hope it gets fixed soon.  Well, now you can catch up other things I suppose....

LMAO!! I never even saw that part, Brid! *collapses in giggles*

 

But to be fair, Mweb has come trough like a trooper. The cables (ALL internet ... thingies) are owned by the state telecommunications company, Hellkom ... errr ... Telkom. When things go down (and I'm not convinced that it wasn't actually the pirates who did it, F!), they'll grab whatever is left for their own customers first. Mweb have in some way managed to get things going again, though it's a tad bid slower than normal. We'll see how it goes.

I meant our pirates they don't seem to be responding though
