Well, it seems Octa4's connection has gone to hell again - from two different networks down here im getting 10% packet loss and pings fluctuating from 60 to 400.

Lets hope that its fixed soon hey...

Hmmm, 10% Packet loss and 400 ping are what I get on a good day :P Be thankful it even goes down to 60! :P
hehe - Just kidding :D
Octa seem to be having a few troubles lately.... when in doubt, blame telstra :D

For once, it's not telstra, ping times from telstra adsl in darwin are 78ms to telstra, which is good :)

well, afaik octa4 is on the optus backbone, but anyway, certainly explains some poor forum load times i've been experiencing today.

Optus and Telstra both have been looking into an intermittant fault in communication between the two networks today - thats all I know

I'll be at work from 12:30pm tomorrow - can I get people on various networks to keep an eye on pings and packetloss to the server and keep me informed - also as a point of reference, let me know what pings your getting to things like abc.net.au and anything bigpond.
