So something happened at 2AM yesterday morning to cause latency to just sky rocket when going across the ditch. Seeing Cloudflare and Google responding back at almost 200ms with Level 3 Tokyo coming back at 290ms when looking at my fping graphs.

Is also very noticeable in online video game services such as Dota 2.

Not fun :(

Is Southern Cross Cable still reliable or is coming towards end of life?

Having the same issue as well, Apex Legends Tokyo server which is usually around 150ms shot up to 300ms this morning.

Issue persists as of right now.

Certainly looks like there's an alternate path in use at the moment for some traffic... Doesn't affect all destinations but does affect several I just tested. By affected I mean higher latency - no packet loss or variation - so things still work)

This work is planned to be completed by 11pm tonight... It will be affecting many ISPs.

Fair enough. I'll just sit on my VPN for the rest of the day as a work around. Thanks for the input Neil.
