Hello.

Been experiencing some unusually high ping today to some australian servers. Seems be telstra related from what I can see on a tracert, heres an example:

Thought this might be related to the storms in NSW, but I've asked a couple of aussie friends and they haven't noticed any ping problems. Just wondering if anyone has an insight into what could be causing this.
