[AusNOG] Darwin Connectivity

[Curtis Bayne]

Darren,

Other than Telstra, does anyone else have backhaul up top? A multi-hop microwave circuit perhaps?

An Optus tech (who used to work in carriage) mentioned to me once that Optus have a fibre circuit between Brisbane and Perth for redundancy, but was unable to indicate whether there was a spur to Darwin.

Regards,
Curtis

You really need to go there and look at the infrastructure first. It's
not like other locations around the country.
 
Telstra is pretty much it. And they are really the only party
maintaining anything.
 
Backhaul is via Adelaide.
 
It is reasonably responsive, we run VoIP and video conferencing over our
services back to Melb and Sydney with no issues.... apart from the odd
outage due to weather/power/water.
 
Cheers.

If you're interested in terminating in Brisbane you can get (with some
kicking and screaming) a Telstra ATM/Frame Relay service between Darwin
and Brisbane that goes via their old trunk circuits in Townsville.
Townsville used to be a major switching centre/agg point for Telstra
traffic in the north.

RTT to Brisbane is less than 50ms in some cases and I'm sure they'd have
4Mbps of spare capacity.

As far as I am aware, Optus do not have DSLAMs in Alice Springs or
Darwin: there is no competitive infrastructure there.

Regards,
Curtis

Doesn't Optus have DSLAM's in Darwin? They have one in Alice Springs.

Telstra has 4/4 in Darwin... you can get a handoff from NN.

I thought you guys were an Optus partner?
