[AusNOG] AAPT/TPG EFM vs MBE @ 10Mbps

[James Cunningham]

Yes, but the customer doesn't need more than 10Mbps, and by the sounds of
it they want to go directly to TPG because its the lowest price - seems
everyone else just resells the TPG product and put's their own margin on it
(but I could be wrong here)
