Investigating
Servers Australia are aware of a fibre transmission issue impacting one of our backhaul links between Sydney and Brisbane. The issue has been escalated to our provider who are presently investigating.
The issue was observed at approximately 03:52:15 UTC and is still ongoing.
No service impact is expected as there are multiple redundant paths available between regions, though it should be noted that capacity and redundancy are reduced at this time.
