[AusNOG] Transit provider recommendations

[Nathan Brookfield]

Thanks for the sales spin Ankur, your title should say "Global Wholesale Sales Manager".

Can you advise how this metric is measured to reach this place? total peer sessions, routes, traffic revenue or a circle jerk?

They are the second biggest AU providers of IP Transit after Telstra.

Vocus is a fairly significant AU player, if you're looking for a complete alternate path for all your routes then you definitely are looking at Go4, most if not all others actually have Vocus in their upstreams too funnily enough.

Hi All,

Yep - preceisly. Vocus is great; rock solid, and very few issues. I can't say never - but they are responsive and quick to act. I considered the "vocus only" approach - because their product is great (read "give me a discount please") - but really we need to be confident that if an issue occurs that we have an alternate path to route the traffic.  As people have suggested from a a business perspective, multiple provider routes are important, and really necessary in my mind for getting traffic around.

Thanks for the many who have reached out and responded, still interested in thoughts. :)

Andrew
