Ok, let's sink this right here and now.  The major source of problems
with the US <-> Australia link is and has been for some time the 
equipment/configuration/administration at the US end of things.  You can
see this for yourself (from here) by pinging/tracerouting across the link;
everything's fine until you're several hops _off_ the wire at the US
end.  For all that we cuss Telstra, they actually do a tolerably good
job.

Last I heard source quench was being blocked at most places around australia
anyway, so the whole issue is moot.
