Meanwhile, Optus carry on being crap

Sorry Richard, setting my proxy to proxy to cache1.optusnet.com.au port 80 or webproxy01.syd.optusnet.com.au / webproxy02.syd.optusnet.com.au hasn’t helped with my Optus cable internet woes.

Again, come 9:45AM this morning I’ve been locked out of gmail and bizarrely a selection of our servers in the US (not all - like the one this is on).

Update: Actually using webproxy02.syd.optusnet.com.a and port 80 has just started working. But still!

And have I had a response from their support or complaints department - both of whom I’ve now contacted. I don’t think so!

Maybe time to go hit Whirlpool… or maybe not, I can’t reach them :/
