Well I can tell you it IS having some problems. As to how serious they are, only Optus will know that.<br /><br />But D1 as replacement, is still 6 months away.<br /><br />as I said Complete failure would mean Chaos for all optus customer.<br /><br />As for your comment Phill do you think Murdochs sitting on a pacfic island some place with a 30 meter dish beaming crap at B1 in effort to knock it out of orbit ;-)
