Yeah, doesn't explain why things went to crap this morning, though. I
would suggest it's unrelated. Unless they got a cable repair ship out
there at a speed I've never seen before, and this was it cutting back
in. :-)

No matter. The old IT Crowd adage worked (although I haven't turned it
back on again yet!)

Protected Ethernet services have switched to another path and will experience increased latency. IP Transit and Internet customers can expect to see increased latency towards Asian destinations. Vocus engineers are waiting for local approval and permits in order to repair the cable. ETR currently unconfirmed. Another update will be provided once the cable repair permits have been obtained
> 01/08/2021 13:48 AEST- The fault has been confirmed as Australia Singapore Cable (ASC) cut located about 18km from Perth Landing station. Cable repair ship is being engaged. ETR currently unconfirmed. Further updates will be provided within the next 4 hrs.
