After hours upon hours of only being able to connect via VPN through Japan last night, it was good to see that the majority of Australians are able to actually login today.

Unfortunately though, the latency is still absolutely terrible for many of us (sitting around 112ms for me in Queensland), and there's been no Lodestone posts at all? I realise it's likely a water damage issue outside of SE's control, but some sort of acknowledgement, timeframe to fix it or something would be nice.
It's so frustrating when this is the second time in 6 months that there's been major issues for us trying to connect to our own data centre, and all we ever get is radio silence.
