Australia map servers horrible lag - anyone else?

Anyone else having issues on AU servers? Particularly in maps!?

For the past two days - I am trying to play, but maps are borderline unplayable.
The delay doesn't jump too much if you look at the delay graph... but it's still from 30>100>30>100 etc...

The stutters are horrific and I can't play.
I have great ping in my hideout (stable 30ms) and no stutters. As soon as I open a map it's really bad.

It's not my computer, since at times the map runs flawlessly, even with delirium/breach.

I've looked into my router's traffic monitor and I am the only one with traffic on a NBN 1Gb link. Speedtest to many Australian providers shows speeds over 800Mbit and 15-20ms ping.

Another thing I tested is Quake Live connection to random Sydney servers and my ping is stable and feels smooth.

Just a note to whoever may experience a similar issue playing from Brisbane...
I could not switch to NZ servers just by selecting NZ (Auckland) at login. I was still thrown in to Australia laggy servers (assuming Sydney, but via Brisbane shitty routing).

Using ExitLag I was able to point to Sydney servers and now they are stable. Must be just a more stable routing table.
Hope this helps someone.
