Bigpong regularly screws their own network causing problems like this. First power cycle your machine and cable modem. It won't help, but Bigpond support will ask you to do this anyway. Then ringing Bigpong support and ask if there is an outage in your area. Insist that it is their problem not yours. Tell then you have already power cycled the machine and modem. If this doesn't help wait until after 10 am tomorrow when the idiot who unplugged the network comes back in. If it still isn't working at 10 am after another power cycle, ring again.
