<BR>
We’ve just lost an intercapital link with them between Brisbane and Sydney.<BR>
<BR>
They advised that this is unrelated to the flooding... No ETA for fix on this yet either.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>

"Since 10.33am this morning one of our main interstate optical fibre cables has experienced damage near Thagoona, Queensland, due to the severe flooding. The damaged cable and electronics are underwater and are expected to be out of service for at least 2 to 3 days, flood water depending.<BR>
Nextgen has diverse and geographically separate optical fibre network cables connecting Brisbane and Sydney with automatic switch over."<BR>

(we are hoping that all of the DC's we have gear in at Brisbane have tested generators recently and have plenty of diesel in the tanks !)<BR>
