For a few weeks now I have noticed that Telstra routing has been all over the place
It appears that a lot of the routing is exiting Telstra via Melbourne not Sydney
The tracert below shows what I am talking abount, the route goes Canberra - Sydney - Melbourne - Canberra - Sydney.
Is their any reasion why the conection to aapt has to go to Melbourne ???.
In the past I have been able to get to this host in less then 10 hoops now it is taking 20 hoops.
