[AusNOG] Bandwidth in Phillip Island

[Adam Nock]

Very good point.

One possible source of information could be other businesses in the area?
See if you can find one that could conceivably have a similar requirement and ask them if they found a solution?

Never know, someone might be nice enough to provide a good hint :)

Regards
Adam
