Infectious Suckness

Telstra have stuffed their DSL network statewide. In a rather interesting way: packets up to 1144 bytes in size will get through; packets of 1145 bytes or more, basically, won't. Packet loss is 7% at 1000 bytes, 97% at 1200 bytes.

So ping and traceroute work, ssh mostly works, but http, ftp, smtp, pop, nntp and BitTorrent - in other words, all the good stuff - don't.

When I get home, if it's not fixed, I'll try fiddling with the MTU and see where that gets me. Probably the yacht will sink.
