[AusNOG] Pipe/Equinix Peering Costs

I don't know, TPG's v4 is pretty messed up.

As a side note, has anyone recently compared commercial and/or residential
providers in AU with the aim of measuring the quality (ie routing) vs cost
and availability? Might be a little out side the scope of what Skeeve is
after, but not too far removed.

Looking briefly at it I think ironically Dodo has the best routing of any
residential ISP, and on par with the gang of 4/5/6, while TPG seems the
worst of the gang of 4/5/6 even with being 2nd or 3rd on international
capacity ownership (i say 2nd perhaps because Optus is not a sole AU
provider, so it has an advantage).
