I've been following the SpamHaus DDos thing with interest, but I don't think the symptoms I've seen line up with that attack, especially since it started on March 18th and I didn't have any problems before April 1st. There's a fair bit of online analysis suggesting that the impact isn't that much on ordinary users, plus it should have affected everyone in the country given the nature of the attack.

I did find this thread on Whirlpool, though, that talks about recent packet loss on Bigpond Cable in my geographic area (Brisbane, especially eastern suburbs):
