There is currently an international outage as both our 10G backbone links to
Durban are down (Durban - Pretoria and Durban - Port Elizabeth).

The faults have been logged with Telkom and escalated within Telkom.

You will likely experience this outage as an ERR_DNS_FAIL or ERR_CONNECT_FAIL error when trying to access websites hosted internationally (including .za websites hosted out the country). When accessing secure (https://) web sites, your browser may report that the connection has timed out or the site is unreachable.
