[AusNOG] AS 4byte support in .au

[Skeeve Stevens]

Sweet James... just another reason for providers to chose Vocus ;-)

You need Vocus A and Vocus B though!

So all your providers providers don't end up all going through you...

But IPv4/v6 Dual Stack, 4Byte ASN, Peering in NZ-APE, and Ethernet to NZ, US, and UK coming, all at great prices... which is why you guys are becoming the ISP og choice.

Note:  While I like James and Vocus, I am fair and impartial for my customers, and if someone is offering something comparable, I also recommend them... Internode/Agile for example is very similar in .au and are great guys.
