Time to LEAVE Optus
Time to LEAVE Optus
YEp, never thought I'd say it, but it's time to leave them and find another provider.
Recently, actually round the same time my ping went to hell, OPTUS upgraded their network usage restrictions to 256klb UPLOAD speed limit.
See I been getting 30+klb uploding speeds for about 2 to 3 weeks, round the same time Optus upgraded thier stuff....
So what is happening is that the p2p activity with Optus customers has exploded.... wich in turn is saturating the bandwith for everyone else.
Meaning I'm grounded in unplayable lag, wich means I'm leving Optus....
Period....

I'm waiting for TSN to upgrade the lines so I can get 1.5mb. I'll get that unlimited for about $60 per month, $10 more than I'm paying now.
I could get 24mb, but that's only 50gb per month, which the rest of my family would chew up pretty quickly.
Of course when I do upgrade, I'll be offline for about a week while they do thier thing.
Grr, can't wait, and getting sick of waiting....
