my money is on some sabotage by a rival company or someone interested in optus failing

optus has always been annoying to the big boys, like when they had to collude to bring down optus vision

The Y2K bug finally caught up to Optus :tearsofjoy: luckily I got WiFi at work, home and the pub so I am ok. Atleast I'm not getting any scam calls or messages today from @Nasheed relatives! So that's a plus.

As an Optus customer, for me it highlights that you shouldn't place all of your reliance on one network. Spread your love.
Doesn’t work. Optus is down so I didn’t have any wifi at home this morning and Vodafone are upgrading their network in my area so they were down too.

@habs Again, you were right all those years ago when you woukd say "lol, optarse."

I think it had something to do with Danzz getting lag kills during CS 1.6 sessions?

I look after large commercial buildings in the Sydney CBD and this was a while back but we have substantial Optus towers on one of our roofs anyway I shit you not I walkout onto a very secure roof one day just doing the rounds and there is about 6 Chinese workers man and woman taking photos of the towers. I was shocked firstly how they got out there secondly why they were out there and what the fuck they were doing without permission. Called the cops got the footage ect for trespassing no doors or locks were damaged so they knew what they were doing. Told Optus but noting ever came of it. Didn’t want to get into a physical thing so kind of escorted them off site they disappeared before cops could arrive. You can’t bulshit a bullshitter so when I aggressively ask what are you doing up here they all played the awwwww he he arrr ya ya ya no English ha ha ha yes yes

@Indiandog used to work there high up with business in tier 2 support.

I know a guy who worked for Optus and got stung by fraudsters!

and we're back.

Did we all survive the great network shortage of 2023?

My home internet is telstra but mobile is optus don't really give to fucks about my mobile service.
Went to buy coffee this morning couldn't because their was no fucking internet, poor signal service is one thing but network service down nationwide is a bit of a joke.

***** probably got hacked again.
