Yeah, we are experiencing the same problem. We have been advised by AAPT that they have lost their International capacity. Our other provider is not having any issues, so we have moved all our traffic to this other provider.

It looked to be an issue between global-gateway.net.nz and sprintlink.net as this trace shows....
