<p class="MsoNormal">A quick query from the more experienced and telco legislation savvy operators on the list.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Got pinged by a client in Queensland where one of their offices appears to be on a ‘Opticomm-style’ estate. The ISP in question is Pivit Networks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Their website seems pretty integrated in that they seem to be the network operator and retailer, and probably go in on the grandfathered ‘built before 2011’ clause?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Been troubleshooting this connection and it appears internally there is something weird with the backhaul, as the clients traffic reliably hits 70-80ms before leaving the pivit internal network in PEAK times only for a FTTP service.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So usual cheaping out on backhaul or something similar.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Am I able to potentially get access to the “tail” in an uncontended manner, as long as I connect somewhere local to Pivits POI/DC/IX ? I presume I would be charged the equivalent of Pivits AVGC/CVC/Backhaul charge<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What’s the legislation say for these type of private build not-NBN style networks?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When the client complained about not being able to get other services the ISP took some delight in rubbing this link in their face:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is the company in the worst monopolistic version of ISP hell possible?<o:p></o:p></p>
