Just reading over at whingepool, Optus cable is having some serious issues in Qld atm. Just thought I would pass it on.

DSL is pretty screwed too, was 500ms on the second hop. Now its at 250ms which still sucks balls.

What type of issues?

My Optus cable is working perfectly.

overseas and local. its on their system status page too:
