Do remember that Cloudflare *does* buy transit if you pay them.

The peering only policy only affects free and Pro plans, not Business or Enterprise.

I believe they use different IPs for the plans specifically so they can do this.

Related, this means that if you have sites behind Cloudflare (who do peer with IX) as a CDN / DDoS protection for example all your traffic routes off-shore with TPG & Friends -
The simple solution to this is to switch to a CDN provider who don't care about having to buy transit. The downside is unlike Cloudflare you will need to pay for bandwidth, however if you are on the Business plan with CF then switching away  will likely work out significantly cheaper for Au bandwidth, as the pricing is $200 USD a month with CloudFlare but you can get a bunch of others significantly cheaper.
