<p>Hey James,</p>
<p>Yep there are a few local networks that you won't see peering in
other states but your traffic volumes might not make commercial
sense to build backhaul to WA/SA just for it depending on what
your netflow/sflow shows you and your cost base. A couple of the
bigger ones in WA are some/most of the WA Government &
Woodside along with a bunch of smaller/local networks.<br>
</p>
<p>As you correctly state many of the nationals peer elsewhere (or
their transit supplier does), so you'd possibly be shifting it
from their backhaul to yours. That is of course assuming they are
carrying it nationally and not just dumping it on their domestic
transit in SA/WA in which case that might swing your business case
a bit! Also depends where you sit on the cost/control/reliability
curve. Might not be the cheapest option but may give you better
control for example.<br>
</p>
<p>I'd recommend you grab a dump from the WAIX looking glass and run
some flow analysis on your side to make an informed decision. Joe
will no doubt help you out too :)<br>

what I can see all the ISPs with a strong presence in SA/WA
