I suspect the apple issues they are having is less likely to be a cable cut, more likely to be they didn���t have enough ���peering��� to apple because they don���t like peering.
I know apple recently stood up 16 x 100g peering ports around the world recently which included Equinix Sydney, and they told me they are putting 100g on megaport IX Sydney this week or next.

We noticed with IOS 9 that we were doing nearly a gig of traffic more to apple for about a week from iOS9 release, then they���ve had some minor updates since and new OS X release

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:

https://twitter.com/Telstra/status/649565187687628800

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

Juha
