RE: Colo & b/w in Australia

Thanks to all the off-list responses. Really insightful.

Short summary :

1. IP back to the US is between $300 and $700 (AU) per
month per Mbps.

2. Difficult to peer directly with the 4 big ISPs. Easier
(relatively speaking) to find multilaretal peering with
the 600-odd smaller ISPs.

3. Equinix Sydney comes highly recommended (used to be
Pihana).

I will happily mail a digest of all responses to anyone
interested in the details or horror stories.

Thanks again !

Subject: Colo & b/w in Australia


My company will be setting up presence in a colo in
Australia, hopefully Sydney. Business is content
heavy-ish.

Looking for advice on :

1. Transit back to the US ( low [1-5Mbps] initial commit
).
2. Biggest players in the local DSL/Cable/Broadband
market and peering with them.
3. Choice and quality of Colo facilities.

I have quotes from vendors, am looking for any personal
experience / horror stories.

Thanks !
