Does anyone have issue with Orcon Gigabit Fibre this morning?

 

I live in Kapiti, this morning my lady at home reported our Internet was down. The interesting part is when I got to the office at Wellington CBD, I can still VPN back home, and my Ubuntu server is happily updating packages just fine.

 

This is some pings/traceroutes I've been looking at:

 

Pinging ubuntu's NZ mirror: Success

 

$ ping nz.archive.ubuntu.com

I think my access is restricted to Wellington region only. I called Orcon's tech support, the guy thought it was just my router and insisted me to use Orcon's one, otherwise he didn't know what happened.

 

I mean in theory I could have put some obscure firewall rules to block some but not all of NZ's IPs, but I hadn't touched my router for a while and unless it has been hacked and made to do these weird things, I still think it's probably more a ISP's routing problem. Anyone has any insight?

OK I'm going to reply myself just in case anyone has this problem in the future.

I think my problem was because I switched provider from Slingshot months ago, but I guess the "switching" never actually happens, because the IP address haven't changed since, no ipv6 address neither. After today's outage, I've finally got a new IP address and ipv6. So it could be a stale connection to slingshot or something.
