Dear MWEB Customer
Please be advised that Seacom is planning some routine maintenance work on a portion of their undersea cable. This will run for approximately two weeks, starting Saturday 16 July 2011 .
We have made provision for this and have managed to secure alternative bandwidth for the duration of the maintenance period. We do not anticipate any disruption to your service during this time.
If you have further queries, please feel free to call us on any of the numbers listed below.
Kind Regards
MWEB Operations
From Mweb last night. Be prepared for some fun in the coming weeks.

Is it just me, or does Seacom perform an inordinate amount of "maintenance" on the cable?

Previous experience has taught that EVERYTHING comes to a grinding halt when Seacom is down.

+1. As usual Helkom has said nothing about this maintenance, I wonder if they even know what maintenance is
So I guess we are going to have some trouble for the next 2 weeks
