just that you're choices are buckleys and bugger-all (ie.
telstra and optus), it doesn't really matter which one you
pick cos they both have failures and both are about as
useless as each other.
If you're talking about big bucks and big links then I'd
investigate one of the other wholesale type providers.
Don't know who they all are though, ask on the aussie-isp
list (http://archive.humbug.org.au/). Or have links to
both telstra and optus and hope their failures don't happen
at the same time.
