Any Aussies having trouble with overseas sites?

[Calico Jack]

I'm on Bigpond adsl. Everything was working fine this morning, but having been out for the day I've come home to find I can only access a small percentage of overseas sites. Can't even connect to Amazon and Facebook. Most of my sites hosted in the U.S I can't access.
Just wondering if anyone else is having this happen and what isp you're on.

No dramas here Jack .

Looks like the major routers are all up too

Maybe just a Bigpond connectivity problem, but it seems a router they use (Reach.com) is down and preventing access to many U.S based sites.
For example, I can access amazon.co.uk but not amazon.com
