Ultimately, given the size of bandwidth requirement and the latency 
critical level of the applications - this may well not be an option.

  Any peer he forces it out with a POP in NSW, will likely still reach 
TPG via PIPE anyway, which still congests that single ingress point. To 
really route around this ingress point would likely have to 
geographically route it outside of it's reach, adding latency and 
possible identifying other points of congestion for his 500mbits of 
traffic to go through.
