Comments on: SAA fingers service providers for downtime http://www.techcentral.co.za/saa-fingers-service-providers-for-downtime/12435/ South Africa's technology news leader Mon, 21 May 2012 08:37:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Ann Williams http://www.techcentral.co.za/saa-fingers-service-providers-for-downtime/12435/comment-page-1/#comment-2814 Ann Williams Wed, 27 Jan 2010 06:57:48 +0000 http://www.techcentral.co.za/?p=12435#comment-2814 I think we are now getting into the realm of media overhype with this story.... Okay, so the site was down for less than a day (most of it a weekend night) and it probably caused some hassles for some people who wanted on a Saturday night to be able to book an ticket online and could not. Yes, there obviously was some inconvenience which could have been extremely irritating (and I am one of those people find this kind of admin glitch totally annoying), but this is not earthshattering news by a long stretch of the imagination. Enough now, let's leave this to SAA and their supplier to sort out. And ps. I don't care who the provider is as the overall standard of many SA ISPs generally leaves much to be desired so why pick on this one. I also have no affiliations with any party involved; and quite frankly my dear I don't give a d@m (beyond maybe reading or hearing a very short news snippet) about one commercial website going down.

You cannot pass the buck on so critical an issue, to blame a service provider is unacceptable. Take responsibility and clean up your own mess Chris. PS I have nothing to do with the "service provider". This is wihout the weakest explanation I have heard, and totally indicative of the issues that set up the failure to renew the domain.
