They charge $600 setup + $79 | per month for a 400Kbit link. Your setup is ten times the bandwidth for | 1000 times the price. Latency is reportedly about 0.1 second. I believe | they're moving into the Australian market. They have. They charge $550 US per 64/Kb. You can start from as little 64Kb. Traffic over 1Mb is $500 US per 64Kb I think... I'm not sure they offer anything outside of Capital Cities yet so you'd have to check that. -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| P:+61 7 3870 0066 | Andrew The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | F:+61 7 3870 4477 | Milton ACN: 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 |72 Col .Sig PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |akm@theinternet.com.au|Specialist To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
