The Gray Matter - Southern Cross Cable Damaged

The Gray Matter

Not the Dark Matter

No Censorship
Say NO to Senator Stephen Conroy's plan to censor the net! This has nothing to do with "protecting the innocent" and everything to do with bad policy, bad design and complete lack of any understanding of the technical hurdles that need to be addressed. This whole idea is another example of government waste!

Southern Cross Cable Damaged

I've just received an e-mail from an ISP we manage at work that the Southern Cross Cable has been damaged due to storm activity. So if anyone notices a slow-down between Australia and the USA, this would explain it. I will be curious to see if InterNode's investment in bandwidth via Asia to the USA shields their customers from this most recent Southern Cross dilemma. Internoders.....comments??

Fine so no-one commented but the cable is (apparently) functional again. It
didn't affect me noticeably other than a slight slow-down on my torrents :P
