Interesting :)

Well, my Internet performance is almost back to normal. After it happened
traffic was bouncing all over the place (for example, traceroute to my
friend who lives 5 minutes drive away revealed it going to Sydney then San
Francisco, New York, and back).

Telstra who uses this cable was been routing all their traffic over the
Internet Provider I use (Cable and Wireless Optus) so it has been a little
slower.

Regards,
 Shaun
