Sections of Midrand and Randburg experienced interruptions to their Internet connections this morning which service providers are blaming on downed trunk lines. Telkom, however, says there are no recorded outages in these two areas.
A UUNet representative says there was a "trunk failure" in Midrand and Randburg at about 9.30am. The company says while the cause of failure is not clear, the problem was a Telkom one.
A Telkom spokesperson says the company`s early warning system had not picked up any significant service interruptions. "We did pick up a large number of international calls at about 10.15am ... but there are no outages as such in these areas."
When contacted at midday, UUNet confirmed that connections had "just been restored" and it was already picking up traffic on these lines.
