Other than Telstra, does anyone else have backhaul up top? A multi-hop microwave circuit perhaps?<BR>
<BR>
An Optus tech (who used to work in carriage) mentioned to me once that Optus have a fibre circuit between Brisbane and Perth for redundancy, but was unable to indicate whether there was a spur to Darwin.<BR>

You really need to go there and look at the infrastructure first. It's<BR>
not like other locations around the country.<BR>
<BR>
Telstra is pretty much it. And they are really the only party<BR>
maintaining anything.<BR>
<BR>
Backhaul is via Adelaide.<BR>
<BR>
It is reasonably responsive, we run VoIP and video conferencing over our<BR>
services back to Melb and Sydney with no issues.... apart from the odd<BR>
outage due to weather/power/water.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers.<BR>

If you're interested in terminating in Brisbane you can get (with some<BR>
kicking and screaming) a Telstra ATM/Frame Relay service between Darwin<BR>
and Brisbane that goes via their old trunk circuits in Townsville.<BR>
Townsville used to be a major switching centre/agg point for Telstra<BR>
traffic in the north.<BR>
<BR>
RTT to Brisbane is less than 50ms in some cases and I'm sure they'd have<BR>
4Mbps of spare capacity.<BR>
<BR>
As far as I am aware, Optus do not have DSLAMs in Alice Springs or<BR>
Darwin: there is no competitive infrastructure there.<BR>
<BR>

Doesn't Optus have DSLAM's in Darwin? They have one in Alice Springs.<BR>
<BR>
Telstra has 4/4 in Darwin... you can get a handoff from NN.<BR>
<BR>
I thought you guys were an Optus partner?<BR>
