2009/08/14 - Unscheduled Internet Outage
At about 10.35PM this evening, Rhodes lost access to the Internet for reasons as yet unknown. Users will likely experience the outages as an ERR_DNS_FAIL or ERR_CONNECT_FAIL error when trying to access websites hosted off campus.

We have reported the problem to our service providers, and are awaiting feedback.
Neotel have traced the problem to a fibre break in Port Elizabeth. They've dispatched a technician, who is expected to be on site at around 12:30AM.
Service was restored at about 4.40AM this morning.
