Has TelstraClear's pulling out of a peering arrangement got anything
to do with it?

See http://www.aardvark.co.nz for 26 Nov 2003

Over the last 2 weeks ive had some wickedly high latency times, to the dns
and other paradise servers.

I cant ping anything inside Paradise's network under 200ms with 32byte
packets, and thats on ADSL! My dialup account could easily beat this.

Tonight its even worse, 250ms + with dropouts roughtly each 5th request.
Nornally around 50-60ms no packet loss.

I had a lot of trouble with overseas sites earlier today, plus had problems
logging in to their webmail yesterday. Not to mention the constant worm attacks
from the non-patched dimwits.

Then it's on TelstraClear side of the things. I'm not using ADSL, and I'm
not using Telecom. I have a TelstraClear landline and cable modem.
