A growing storm for Australia's largest ISP

MrClever writes: "Australia's largest ISP BigPond are currently experiencing the largest outage in living memory. Inital reports from affected subscribers suggest the fallout is covering a large proportion of the eastern seaboard. Having spent 45 minutes on hold the word from Telstra is the problem is "major", there is no estimated time to resolution at this stage, and it affects every ADSL subscriber in NSW and Victoria. However, some reports are suggesting the problem extends north in Queensland."
