All of that is above my head...lol
Im getting a call back on thursday from dodo as the rep im dealing with is submitting my tracerts to the level 3 dept so that they can take a look and see if anything can be done. At least now i can tell them there is another way around the telstraglobal server with singtel.
I went to the flashmap and its telling me that the Singtel AJC cable (im assuming australia-japan cable?) would cover it. Would simply telling dodo to route me through this instead of the telstra line be understood by them/something they CAN do (seperate story if they will i guess)
Thanks for the in depth help - it is much appreciated.
