Hi Skeeve and John,
MegaDirect service is only available to Channel/Partners with a Megaport.
So for example if a partner has a Megaport at SY1 and want to interconnect
with any party at say NEXTDC S1 on a 1Gbps circuit then they can order a
MegaDirect service to that DC.
The service is only able to be ordered by Partners and must terminate on a
Megaport port at one end. The other end goes wherever and to whoever they
chose.
Cheers

I am not sure about that... as far as I know, anyone on Megaport can order a
MegaDirect back to them. But, I could be wrong (Sorry if I am)....
Megaport?
