My ISP runs through Ozemail, then Optus and for the last six months,
connectivity has been getting worse. If I want to fetch a file, it is
definitely a wget job. The last couple of days means that I can not even
see Zip (Pacific) to fetchmail my Slug mail.

Given that someone has posted on another list that the Paddington
exchange is well supplied with batteries and generator, I don't see how
the electricity substation explosion should cause this effect. I
understand that the cut Singapore cable is not a major component of
Australia's internet connectivity
