I wondered what happened to 2K Australia - mainly the office in Canberra was right up the street from my office so it was often in my mind.
I'd love to buy you a beer and have a chat at some point. Do you go to the monthly Pizza and Pixels [1] events?
Looks like they've moved it to a location that's inaccessible for me, but I'll work something out.

- tmn007 10y agoI think it is closed now. I worked at an isp which serviced their CBR office with a 128k isdn then upgraded to a "2 mbit" PAPL link (a niche product where you used 2 or 4 pairs of directly connected copper which bypassed the exchange).
- voltagex_ 10y agoIt's definitely closed. That's the first time I've ever heard of "PAPL", though. A quick search brings up a PDF of a contract with NSW RMS (formerly RTA). I wonder if that's supposed to be public. Looks like it was a slow, dedicated link to the exchange, still in use right up to 2009. Ah, Australian Internet.
