looking to reduce hops from toronto to singtel

anyone got any ideas on who might be able to reduce my hopcount from toronto to singtel? currently we are seeing uunet->alternet->bbnplanet->singtel. i'd like to reduce the points of failure from here to there. -- [ Jim Mercer jim@reptiles.org +1 416 410-5633 ] [ I want to live forever, or die trying. ]
