Oh and new fibre/cable maps will be online later today with particular
Melbrourne.  I noticed we have inadvertently drawn a ³cat without legs² in
Melbourne network map :)

Hi Matthew,

Just quickly (and the broader list) there is a further option entering the
market.  www.superloop.com

Superloop is launching in Australia looking to offer a diverse dark fibre
services between DC¹s.  I¹ll leave all the normal sales stuff to the website
and just give a some simple concepts.

Superloop provides diverse services between DC¹s on a ³Superloop² that
allows providers to add additional facilities during the contract term.  For
example you want a diverse service between 55 King and M1 it¹s around $x.
If you want to add ME1 or 55 Crockford in the loop later, you just add it
and we include that for a slightly incremental charge.  Pricing is pretty
aggressive, in particular for diverse services and flexibility is important.
20+ DC¹s with 30+ planned.  It¹s all on the website.

Same will apply in Brisbane and Sydney (and Singapore shortly) although
pricing varies depending on market.  For example in Sydney you can get a
³Southern Superloop² that covers all the DC¹s south of the Harbour with just
2 DC¹s  (say Global Switch and Equinix) and add more later (say Pacnet,
Vocus etc.).  Or you can get the full loop covering all of Sydney and start
with say NEXTDC S1 to Equinix SY1 and add later (say Global Switch) for an
low incremental charge.

Anyway contact michael.glynn at superloop.com if you want further info/pricing
and launch details.

Cheers

We are looking at setting up a second Melbourne POP site diverse from Next
DC M1
 
Our options are setting up in M2 Telecom at King Street because of the
connectivity abundance (most providers are available within M2), but the
caveat is that it¹s a very old site. The other option we have is choosing
Equinix ME1 which is a brand new site but nobody seems to be really
established in this site.
 
I have received quotes for a pair of dark fibre connecting Next DC M1 to M2
or ME1 and it¹s the same price of  $1,500.00 per month so from what I can
tell there is no real benefit in choosing either site as it¹s the same
price.


How many people are considering setting up a POP into Equinix ME1 and has
anyone done a risk assessment on it being so close to Next DC M1? The
deciding factor I think will be who is and who won¹t be in Equinix ME1 for
us, so we would love to hear any opinions.


Matthew
