This is from the service status page from Optus.

What: Temporary outage
When: Current
Duration: No estimated time of restoration
Impact: Temporary disruption or partial degradation of Internet Access
We lost internet sporadically through the evening, and when we did have it, it was like bolting two 9600baud modems together and connecting with wet string to the outlet.
Needless to say, it seems to have come good again.. so far.. but Optus service just isn't what it used to be.
Still loving my cable, but hating the supplier more and more as each day goes on

Was at a customers the other day and he has Optus. He had a problem and his modem and had to get it replaced. I told him to make sure that the technician sets it up using the Ethernet card rather than USB. Anyway, when I got there it was set up with USB. When I connected it to the Ethernet card, XP reported that the cable wasn't plugged in. I plugged it into a router and it pretty much suggested that it couldn't find the modem. I suggested that the Ethernet port on the modem might be stuffed. We rang Optus Support and my customer had an argument with the guy on the phone who was suggesting that his records indicated that he didn't get a replacement modem. My customer suggested that it must have been a paperwork error and that the technician possibly didn't fill out the report but the Optus guy was insistant that he could not have had this modem (which we were both staring at). If I could have had a dollar for each time my customer said f#%k to this guy on the phone, I could have gone and bought him a new modem.

it's a shitload faster(i max out at 160-170kb's), has 20/40gig(14/14gig) and they class off peak as 12-12 or something, unlike Westnet's 12-7am. The question is why would i rather adsl. Once adsl2 hits Tarneit, i'm signing up. Unfortunatly it seems TPG is the only one doing that in the near future.norbs wrote:Why would you want it?w00dsy wrote:I have Optus cable problems, i can't get it at my house the stupid fucking underground power crap bastard things.
