<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Yes and no…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Initial costing came back 1200% of the current cost per mbit I am paying regionally. I am looking for diverse feeds from Gippsland to Melbourne but where some options come in at $3.50 per mbit and some come in
closer to $38 per mbit – its not a challenging math problem to make the correct business decision there.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">That said, I am still looking for some diversity to our existing tier-1 carrier and supplementary microwave transport.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Also- a fibre “last-mile” for the handoff regionally is not necessary- we’d prefer microwave in-fact. Given that we are 20m from the Traralgon NBN POI where I know Optus has capacity I feel this should be reasonable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Looking for a sales contact at Optus able to talk to me about “E-Link” and/or “Wholesale Carrier Ethernet”.
