[AusNOG] Transit provider recommendations

Well we buy over a gbit from Vocus, so I am SURE that makes up something?

We are a small fish in the sea.... I can imagine how many other bigger
players there are out there, and I reckon they don't buy from Telstra /
Optus. So the routes = volume *may* be valid in this case?

I am not 100% sure but It seems legit to me that they do run a pretty
massive number 1or 2 network?!?!?

 I'd be interested to know where you're getting this from. Vocus run a
great transit network but I think second largest is a big call...

 They are the second biggest AU providers of IP Transit after Telstra.

 Vocus is a fairly significant AU player, if you're looking for a

 complete alternate path for all your routes then you definitely are

 looking at Go4, most if not all others actually have Vocus in their

 upstreams too funnily enough.

 Hi All,

  Yep - preceisly. Vocus is great; rock solid, and very few issues. I

  can't say never - but they are responsive and quick to act. I

  considered the "vocus only" approach - because their product is

  great (read "give me a discount please") - but really we need to be

  confident that if an issue occurs that we have an alternate path to

  route the traffic. As people have suggested from a a business

  perspective, multiple provider routes are important, and really

  necessary in my mind for getting traffic around.

  Thanks for the many who have reached out and responded, still

  interested in thoughts. :)

   I know this sounds strange, but why not ask Vocus to deliver you

   diversity

   themselves?

   Possibly they can also provide private backhaul between the two

   points

   where they hand off to you, and, heck, maybe even protect it if

   you ask

   nicely enough.

   I use them for Transit as well as Intercap and other private

   local

   connectivity and haven't seen a blip in two years on Intercap or

   Transit.

   May as well get your carrier to do all the hard work in

   protecting

   connectivity to your pops - that's what you pay them for.

   Sean.

   Hi All,

   Aware that this question is asked all the time.

   Looking for recommendations for a "diverse" path to Vocus for

   500Mbps -

   1Gbps (95th/burstable) with handoff in GS, Eqx and NextDC M1;

   preferably

   with the ability to deliver on a 10G port "in the future" should

   our needs

   require.

   Had been considering AAPT but had some interesting feedback

   around product

   support that is making me think twice. Would be interested in

   off-list

   thoughts of other reasonable options. :)

   Thanks,

   Andrew
