Last report is we have guys on the ground in Australia checking out the network.
In addition, there should be a post in the near future (in the next couple hours) about the status.
On a personal note, I was in Japan last week and we had some pretty productive discussions about our options for better connectivity for our folks on OZ (shard nomenclature for Oceania).
For right now we are trying to re-route traffic around areas that are causing the lag.
Do your best to hang in there, and we'll do our best to get you an update.
