I use VFX only (through a TelstraClear connection) and the service is down as well.

WxC would make a killing as a Telecom dealer selling T-Sticks. God knows, every WxC customer should have one close by these days.

am seeing the same thing on our XNet connection in Grey Lynn - ppp is failing with either "access denied: request timeout" or "insufficient resources available to authenticate user".

Net came back up, 5-10 minutes later then the dns did.

Can tell because torrents were 100k+ and no google. When torrents slowed down checked google and there it was :)
