[LINK] Au sites and resources serious lagging

Yes, something seems to be going on. Most web requests ok now from here 
(Optus wireless, country Vic) but Whirlpool.net.au would not resolve for
a while, and both Tracert times and hops to telstra.com.au were much more
than usual. Not positive one should blame it on sunburnt satelites though.

Sure the SE Asia triangle area looks busy with cable, but, the east-west
Atlantic corridor looks like it'd glow. http://www.submarinecablemap.com
