In the last week we have suddenly had many of our clients on our international hosting accounts not able to recieve their emails and not able to be able to see their web sites. This was really hard to work out as at our office we were able to see all the sites and get all the test emails from all the servers. It wasn't untill tonight that we found that Orcon are one of the three that are not on the government filter and we are connected through Orcon. We have had no disruptions and yet our clients have stated that they feel like their Internet has slowed down over the last week. Is that just coincidental that the filter went live on 11th March about the same time that all our troubles started. Our problem is that there is very little that we can do about it.
