Cable Cut
SEA-ME-WE3, a 20Gbps cable carrying 60% of Telstra’s international net traffic got cut about 100km off Singapore’s coast. I was wondering why certain US sites became suddenly inaccessible. News article. Telstra is not hooked up to the new Southern Cross cable yet.
If you look at this link (off Dark Magnet) you’ll see a sudden drop in traffic originating from Aus.
