The first stage of an upgrade of the submarine Southern Cross Cable linking New Zealand and Australia to the United States has added 260Gbps.
Australians should not be experiencing problems accessing US Web sites despite network issues connecting the country to the USA, according to Southern Cross Cable Network.
International carrier Southern Cross Cables said it had fixed a problem with its Internet link between Australia and the United States (US) on Saturday that several local Internet service providers (ISPs) had warned could cause slow international speeds.
Internet traffic to the United States came to a grinding halt yesterday as the Southern Cross undersea cable network went down for the second time in a week.
Optus@Home users are still having problems accessing international sites, on the back of the Southern Cross cable severance two days ago.
