Internet problems


Who would have thought it? A problem with the internet cable in the Mediterranean Sea causing trouble for the whole of East and South Africa!
It seems that the SEACOM cable that is the backbone of the internet connection in these parts had a problem a week or 2 ago which needed fixing. Turns out that now we have a backup connection - I am guessing a satellite connection which has seriously reduced our available bandwidth. Hence emails are either taking a long time to come through - or not at all.
Currently they are saying that things should be fixed by tonight - we'll see!
