2011/01/07 - Intermittent Internet Access
As of about an hour ago, we've been experiencing severe packet loss on the link between Grahamstown and Port Elizabeth. This will cause Internet access to appear "slow" and may cause some connections to fail or time out.

The problem was reported to TENET's service desk shortly after it started, and we're currently awaiting feedback
the root cause of this is the fibre optic link between Grassridge and Poseidon. Infraco are currently trying to fix the problem.
