I 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).

It'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.
