[AusNOG] ip connectivity in sydney

[Campbell, Alex]

Equinix and GlobalSwitch should be the two easiest places in Australia
to buy IP connectivity.  I would start with Vocus, Internode and Uecomm.

They all are all at Equinix, you'll be able to easily get an Ethernet
cross connect to them, and you'll get pretty quick answers from their
sales people.

I'm surprised Optus wouldn't sell you services out of Equinix.  Perhaps
their sales people didn't understand what you wanted or what they could
sell (I have had this problem with them in the past and ended up giving
up and buying from someone else).

GlobalSwitch is a bit harder - because of the distances involved your
cross-connects may need to be fibre and you'll need to organise them
yourself or get your provider to do it ($$).  But again, pretty much
every major provider should be able to sell you services out of there.

Subject: [AusNOG] ip connectivity in sydney

Hello list,

We will soon open a presence in Sydney, and I am looking for ip
connectivity in Equinix.
unfortunately, we were not able to find any provider yet with a POP
there (ok we only tried optus)
The datacenters are equinix and globalswitch.

Would there be any kind souls to point me to a few transit provider in
those places? (Ethernet)

I'm sorry if it's slightly off topic.

Cheers,
