[nznog] TelstraClear Routing?

I've been using a VPN to connect to work across the WIX for over a year - via a Paradise cable modem. I was seeing about 1mbps throughput, consistent with AT&T's Wellington Office (the actual people-at-desks office) United Networks connection to the WIX. A traceroute showed roughly 5-6 hops as I recall. Today....I can't get my VPN tunnel up at all and the traceroute shows 15 hops and my traffic is going to Auckland and off to Reach in HongKong...and then into AT&T's network there and then back again via Australia to NZ. Is anyone else seeing similar routing troubles? -- Steve Withers
