<p>Best routing you'll get at the moment is SEA-ME-WE 3 (when it's up, hah) to Singapore, overland to Malaysia, and then via SAFE to South Africa.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>You'll need to be choosy about your provider though - given Telstra Global have an interest in both cables, they might be a good first start.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>There was talk of a consortium called the Australia West Express putting in a cable between Perth and Djibouti via Diego Garcia, who would be the best bet for a low latency Africa link, but they've gone very quiet of late...<br>

<div dir="ltr">Guys,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've been asked to entertain the idea of a customer of ours needing a dedicated link between their Australian branches and their head office in ZA.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>They use a Latency sensitive application which is what they are trying to improve by this request. Is there any providers that office links from WA > ZA ? Currently latency ranges between 450 - 550ms from their WAN gateway in Brisbane however if there
was an option to terminate a link to their Perth office we would take that path.</div>
