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. ---- email "unsubscribe aussie-isp" to majordomo(a)aussie.net to be removed. - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
