Damn. Yeah things are seeming pretty slow from the cable modem side of things...

Interestingly, my route to the compsci department at Victoria University (a Telstra customer anyway) is still traversing wix hops, and using wix address space in the process, so it's not just a reverse DNS thing on the routers... Routes to other departments appear to be randomly taking this short 2-hop route or a somewhat longer (and ICMP blocking) one...

And check out this route to linux.citylink.co.nz....

Not to mention, I can't connect.

I think it's new-ISP time.

At around 1100 today.  TelstraClear (AS7714 and AS4768) will disconnect
from the WIX route servers.

Technical queries should be directed at the TelstraClear Customer Help
team (0508 555 500) or to your normal fault escalation point.

Business queries should be directed to your TelstraClear account
manager.


Thanks
