[nznog] Global Gateway issue today

Hi, I was aware of an issue on orcons Global-gateway issue today where both national and international was basically unusable for about 3 hours. I'm trying to find out if anyone else was effected as my flat mate who who manages a banks network (which I prefer not to mention) but they were told for 3 hours that the problem was within their network. I'm aware of 1 other company that connects direct to global-gateway that was effected. Please reply off list and if people are interested I'll send a summary. Thanks Barry
