2:01 PM: We have identified the peering issue to be with Megaport IX in NSW. A broadcast storm occurred across the domestic peering. This link connects to Microsoft, Office 365, and Google among other cloud services. Other ISP's observed this issue and had to mitigate the service to stabilise routing.
