Any company worthy of any form of trust and respect would thoroughly test any platform that services over 1,000,000 people before implementing any software or routing changes on their network and if it fails they would conduct a complete roll back immediately across every device.
To save money they did not test properly and to make matters worse they have not rolled back their entire platform's configuration so right now they deserve no trust and no respect.
Friday 8th August was the THIRD Friday in a row that the Optus mobile network was down. Problems started mid afternoon and were not fixed until 7pm. Is this a simple and coincidental computer glitch or is someone hacking into and playing with their systems?

We were not able to make/receive phone calls or send/receive SMS until well after 6pm, then were unable to use 3G towers until 7:15 this morning (Thursday 7/8/2008), which given we live in an area not serviced by GSM, meant no mobile calls at all.
Optus have a lot to answer for, and I for one will be seeking restitution for the outages.
