[AusNOG] Contact at Optus on the list?

[Barry Murphy]

Thanks Skeeve,

It seems many people can provide transit to Optus but to buy off Optus direct you have to have a very large spend.
I have a circuit going live to AAPT in the next month so that will give me a closer AS path to Optus, however was hoping for a more direct link to their AS.
The problem is Optus sometimes prefer us via the US as we peer / buy transit direct in the USA and at current it can be the same AS hop length so we get additional latency.
Hopefully with the AAPT Domestic this will solve things, currently we use Global-Gateway (Telecom NZ), Telstra Global & Vocus to get to AU; so AAPT should be the more direct path.

Many thanks

Hey Barry,

Talk to Tim Jones at iSeek.  They are on Megaport and are a big Optus house for their transit.  They will likely deliver you Optus transit over Megaport.

Hey guys,

Looking for a contact at Optus I can speak to for Domestic (Australian) transit that we can purchase over a Megaport VXC.
If you're from optus and can help, please email me off list, else if you know someone from optus that can help with my query please flick me through the details off list.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards
