 Those who are customers of
Nextgen Networks should have already received the advisory, but for those
who may not have (or others who are interested):

"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.
Nextgen has diverse and
geographically separate optical fibre network cables connecting Brisbane
and Sydney with automatic switch over."

(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 !)
