[AusNOG] PIPE NSW Changing Details

[Bevan Slattery]

To make life easy as of today we are doing a 1Gbps IX only port for $250/month no contract, no membership, no install.  Also will have a number of major content providers coming on net in next 30 days which would mean there won't be much that's not on either.

Agree that it's time to switch :)

Cheers

For someone who might get a LOT of their traffic via PIPE IX this would be a pretty bad amount of downtime, as other transit links would have to pick up the slack.
