You won't be able to if you access the net via Xtra. Telstra have chopped a fibre optic cable in Wellington and due to connection agreements Xtra customers have no other way of getting to it, Most other ISP's have however.

It was working damn fine this morning.... then it spat the dummy and locked me out... dang it. (Who took Sam Morgan's dummy?)

But I have been good for the past hour or so, so they have unlocked the doors and let me back in... YEHAAAAA.

Best to check this link here to see whether it is working and use "buy now" option just to be 100% sure.

Thats some good inside news there eddie, any idea how they chopped it?

Nah I'm not in Telstra so not privy to that sort of Info. Probably a contractor digging a hole somewhere or something.

If anyone has been having more problems getting to Trade-me in the last day or so:

TradeMe are again experiencing network connectivity issues through their upstream provider - AT&T. Temporary routing put in place last week to AT&T's network to mitigate customer impact is not being effective at present.

No ETA for resolution, customers will experience heavy delays and packet loss to the TradeMe web site through various ISP's domestically and internationally.

Telstra have discontinued peering with the WIX, claiming that connection was costing them too much money. TradeMe is located in Wellington, and connects to the net via WIX (the fibre networks that runs around the Wellington CBD). Connections to TradeMe now go via overseas connections.
Eg here is a trace route to trademe from Ngauranga. I did this a few weeks ago just after the de-peering
