Connectivity<BR><BR><BR><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
