Freeze forever goin down.

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

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

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 [email protected] and let me know if it bounces?

I would have hung up long time ago. Bloody d1ckheads.

Yep bounces back Rab!

Friggin awesome

un-f*cking-believable

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.

I have croup

Fml

laryngotracheobronchitis?
