Subject: [Oz-ISP] Telstra minus lots of bandwidth into .au (Again)
Approx 17:50 my pager started going off, seems international transit had
become *real slow* all of a sudden - via both sydney and perth.
Was initially unable to convince the telstra helpdesk that there was
anything wrong, they tried to say of course it would be slow, the olympic
games opening ceremony was on, and what else did I expect?
Finally, one of their techs called, seems it had only just happened, the
"cea-wea-mea-3" submarine cable was again out of service, and that they
had nothing they could do about it except report it to reach.com who
handle all their international links, and try to get some additional
capacity via new zealand or something.
I haven't seen an outage report or anything from them, I know, it's only
been 90 minutes... don't rush it.
Just a heads-up for those of you who have international transit via
telstra to be aware.
http://telstra.is.fuked.com/ shows how things are going.
