Delivering more traffic locally also reduces the demand on our overseas links, which provides better service and keeps costs down for both our customers and Connect. Speed Independent surveys consistently rate Connect's network as one of the fastest in Australia, which saves your business time and money. Connect has excellent international connectivity with 100 megabit per second fibre optic links out of both Melbourne and Sydney and a 4 megabit per second dual megalink out of Perth. These three services connect to Telstra Internet Services' international links. For fast, efficient traffic delivery within Australia, Connect has direct peering links to Netscape Communications and Access One.
Peers share content over a link.
This provides better economies for traffic delivery between the peering organisations as well as improving service speeds and costs for all customers. Reliability Connect's network is designed to keep working. It offers full network redundancy which means, in the unlikely event a link should fail, the network can automatically re-route traffic to maintain service. For physical reliability, network components are housed in a stable and secure environment at AAPT exchanges.
