Australia: Optus Network Woes Continue

Andrew Colley writes on Australian IT:

OptusNet customers' patience was tested again today after the carrier's recent run of internet reliability problems, which began late last week, continued.

An Optus spokeswoman confirmed that OptusNet dial-up and broadband customers encountered "flaws" using its internet service, including email, earlier today.

She cited "a technical issue" with internet equipment at one of the carrier's exchanges as the cause of the outage.

"I can confirm that we've had a technical issue at one of our exchanges," the spokeswoman said.

The outage lasted for around hour until it was resolved around midday, she said.
