Yes, I play from Australia as well, almost up at the QLD border.
Never had any trouble playing MP at any time of the day but the last week and a half, I was only able to successfully maintain a connection during my lunch hour. After 5pm it was impossible to stay connected and play. (Same pc, same IP) Long time to connect and then disconnect the second you click on your character. Same problem with equipment selection being greyed out. I know I have a ton of gear sitting around right now.
I just tried to connect right now (afternoon) and the problem seems to have moved up a few hours because now I can't even play during the day anymore. Not happy ☹️
PS: I have no problem with any other internet based games. All my MMOs and other multi-player games are doing just fine.
