Iburst assign IP addresses from a pool of addresses that they own. It seems a large chunk of the addresses in that pool have been blacklisted. I've logged a call with Iburst, but I'm not sure that they are taking this problem seriously.

OK. Norio how did you manage to get us unblocked? Another thing I noticed and heard from colleagues is that my connection is slower since MWeb offered uncapped connection. That is weird. Damn their eyes!!!

The Seacom cable was down for "scheduled maintenance" most of today, which hasn't helped. The traffic was rerouted over the SAT3 cable, but International bandwidth took a major hit.

The uncapped rush will level out shortly. I can tell you that at the download speeds I'm getting with the Afrihost uncapped that there soon won't be much left on the internet for people to download. ?
