Game routing via Melbourne.
Melbourne gives Victorian players a local relay option before traffic continues to another AtlasGG location. Routes toward Perth and Singapore may be worth comparing against direct ISP paths.
Where Melbourne fits into a route.
Melbourne can be an entry point for longer paths across Australia. For Southeast Asian destinations, compare Melbourne-to-Singapore options with a Melbourne–Perth–Singapore path where available.

Should I use Melbourne if I live in Victoria?
