How to piss off your customers: In QLD we don't have daylight savings. The rest of Oz has been in DLS for 4 months. Overnight, the time server for the Optus phone network reset/broke and put all QLD phones 1 hour ahead when they time synced. Hundreds of thousands of customers in QLD were woken 1 hour early today.

People have turned up to places 1 hour early to find them shut. A lady turned up for surgery 1 hour early. Mums woke up kids to get them to school holiday care. It's a PR shitfest

Does everyone now use their phone as an alarm clock? I....use an alarm clock. And a wall clock.And a watch...

I used an alarm clock until I moved and couldn't find my alarm clock. That's when I started using the phone.

m9m: you're not alone--well, we don't have a wall clock, but definitely an alarm clock. And watches.

And I still wear a watch.

I wear a watch - but it pairs with my phone and so I think if my phone got screwy, my watch would too. I do have other clocks in the house, though - I'd like to think I'd notice the time difference before I left the house...

It's currently overcast and rainy here and it's summer so the sun is up at 4am so judging the time is a little more tricky.

The alarm clock function is the main thing I do with my phone. But I don't have to worry about the time being reset from above. At daylight savings time, I can wait for hours, turn the phone off and on again, take the battery out and put it in again, and it still won't pick up the phone company's new time settings. Last time I gave up and just changed it manually.
