Friggin Optus

2 hours on the phone trying to get this damn forum to work.

Works on everything except the Optus Cable Network -

"it's a problem at your end"

"it's a problem with the server at the other end"

"it's your antivirus"

"it works on our test server"

It works fine if I load a VPN

It works fine if I use mobile internet

It only makes 1 hop before timing out if I use the optus internet

To top it off - the email address they gave me to send the tracert's bounces

Then he mentions that there are 4 other support calls for this forum not working.

Who knew this forum was actually popular :P

Now I'm scared to get a job in Telco....having to be smarter than the customer when it comes to diagnosis lol

Hope you and the other 4 can get it working :spoton:

You only need to be able to speak english better than Rajeet from Mumbai.

Half of the first phonecall was me trying to spell fordxr6turbo and raband.

"F O R D, like the car"

"Oh - FROD - got it"

"R for rabbit, A for apple, B for bob, A for apple, N for nellie, D for dog"

"Ok - RIBONC - I will email to ribonc@hotmail"

I was very surprised when I got the email - even if it was for someone using OSX (he did ask me what OS I was using and told him Win 8.1)

edit: as an aside - would someone be able to fire off a test email to CableSupport@optus.com.au and let me know if it bounces?

I went to 2 HIFI places today to talk to about pre wiring my house for Dolby Atmos in the theatre room and speakers for the alfresco area.

First place quoted around the $1800

Second place said anywhere from 3-4k.

F*#K ME!!

Both had different views on how they would set up the room/house and one trying to me into a Bose system.

Looks like I wont be getting a home theatre now not at that pricing. :censored:
