[AusNOG] Bandwidth prices/recommendations

[McDonald Richards]

I knew as soon as I read the “tier 1” in the original question this one was
going to open a can of worms :)

Scott,
What do YOU mean by "Tier1"?   The concept of Tier 1 in Australia is
interesting as most of the global tier 1s are forced to buy transit from
Optus/Telstra/AAPT.   The only actual "Tier1" in Australia is VzB (AS703)
I'd assert.  Neither Optus, Telstra or AAPT are "Tier1s" as they all buy
their international off parent companies - none of whom are Tier1s.  Optus
and AAPT both purchase International transit in Australia from other parties
as well.

It's too many years since I've had to buy bandwidth in Australia, so... 

I'm trying to get some ballpark figures for tier 1 bandwidth delivered to a
datacenter in either Sydney or Melbourne (flexible to which city and which
datacenter).  Preference is for 100Mbps, although we'll also consider 10Mbps
or 50Mbps with the option to grow.

Appreciate any comments as to roughly how much we should be looking to pay,
and/or recommendations on who is best to talk to.

Thanks,
  Scott.
