Re: [AusNOG] UPS Compatibility with ESXI 6.5 Communication

2018-02-26 Thread Robert Hudson

Yep - the party carrying out the port (to whom the service is moving) are responsible for the process. Understandably, as you can imagine it's not exactly commercially sensible for the party losing the service to put money into a process that loses them a customer. The TIO will only get involved

In theory, 100Mbps/40Mbps service (and even 1Gbps/400Mbps) services are possible over the nbn HFC service. Data charges to cover 400GB a month shouldn't be an issue. Of course, that's just last mile. There's a lot more to a service than the last mile. You will get "best efforts" SLA for
