apparently their coastal and inland system went down...
the inland was their backup...but a card in that system overheated due to the coastal link being cut.
now if they restore their backup...
i doubt we would still be back to normal...in terms of speed...
but they havent really release an ETA for this?!  |

apparently a optus fibre has been cut accidently and causing outages in all of qld and northern NSW.
Seems to effect all optus networks including phone and adsl.
Its unknown when it will be back up and online.
Tech people are reported to be fixing the issue.

man - i had to call a taxi earlier... my phone couldn't get a connection with optus... i was FORCED to walk up to another office to see if they were with anyone but optus so i could call.
One thing i did think about, there is so much infrastructure with phone lines/cables that we rely on, i'm surprised that we don't see things go down more often with the amount of emphasis we have on these things |

As a web developer it's not so 'crazy', more vital. |
