SG and Perth; which is typically by about 10-30ms the fastest route from Sydney to SG (much more for southern and western AU cities).

Expect it to be down for a long time due to the challenges of dealing with the Indonesian government. Typically 8-12 weeks. SMW3 breaks are an annual thing.

Due to the high per mbit cost of SMW3 and its location, I don���t think that Akamai would have been pushing all that much over it ��� particularly without a diverse path.

Hi NZNOG,

Not sure if this qualifies as operational, but Telstra tweeted there���s a cable cut somewhere:

Would anyone happen to know which cable it is and where it���s been cut - if that���s the case?

Am told it���s causing slowdowns with Akamai, making Apple users unhappy.

Thanks
