Hi Nathan We're looking at it - its a branching unit off-shore of Sydney that was installed on the Pipe PPC-1 cable - its certainly an option for us.  Means we would have to use the PPC-1 landing station in Sydney so investigating.

Dear NZNOG

We have just announced a joint build of the Pacific Fibre cable (Australia to NZ to US) with Pacnet.  Please see more detail at:

A huge progress step for us and for creating more international bandwidth options for NZ.
