From Andrew, if your Optus Cable has been unreliable: Thought some OCAU readers who are having the problem but haven't found the reasons may be able to benefit. This article contains information about the on-going international connectivity problems affecting Optus Cable users, especially those in South East Melbourne. The issue was first reported on 31/01/2008, and is still occurring as of 31/03/2008. During the outages, which can last anywhere from 10 minutes to more than 7 hours, international destinations are unreachable, but domestic locations can still be accessed as normal. Despite the ongoing and regular troubles with the service it is yet to be shown on the Optus Service Status page. Link to logs of the problem. Online discussions here and here.
