Any influx of new iPhones on the network probably wouldn’t help things too much when the network is already down, but given the outage is now over, Optus appears (at least for now) to have solved the network issues, although users simply weren’t happy.

No doubt Optus management team would have been demanding answers from its technical network staff as to why its network has had issues so soon after its unfortunate cable cutting accident.

Still, no network is immune from down time no matter how rarely it happens, and whether Optus consumers will be credited anything on their next bill for the 8 hour inconvenience is, for now, unknown.

Optus Mobile spokespersons were unable to say how many of its customers were affected or what the cause of the network issues was.

If you’re an Optus reader and are still having issues with calls or connectivity on Saturday the 2nd of August, please let us know in our comments section.
