I Know from a work e-mail that there where problems with the OPtus feed of
some sort, I don't have the msg anymore.

But I wouldn't trust Optus as far as I could carry there server. (and
knowing the size of news servers I wouldn't be able to pick it up)

I know how bad there links are as I can remember the on call pages going
off at 11pm because there link which we don't use for traffic got it's
nickers in a knot.
