Wow... $1000+XC for 100Mb makes even PIPE look cheap.  I can't say for
certain, but I'm fairly confident that if you push, you can get it from
Equinix cheaper than that.

If you want to use NSW-IX and don't want to faff around with a link to SY1,
ping me off-list -- we've got dark fibre between SY3 and GS, and are looking
at a hookup to NSW-IX.  I'm sure something can be worked out.
