[AusNOG] TPG buys AAPT for $450m

[Jared Hirst]

I for one have a main issue with the way that they handled the PIPE change
over.



Once they started operating the PIPE NOC things fell way down, I must admit
I have not needed to call them of late, but a few months back the PIPE NOC
was in a very bad state and I think that this has been mentioned in a few
posts in AusNOG.

This seems to be common thinking - that TPG successfully purchasing AAPT
would be negative for the industry.

Are there concerns beyond reliability, TPG's track record of being
"creative" with their routing and other observed operational issues?

I heard this a month ago and was praying it wasn't so.

Kindest Regards,
