Bigpipe have their own infrastructure, backhaul and interconnect. From every aspect they are a completely separate RSP. They may be owned by Spark, but that's about it.
Sure the ISP network part sounds like it's separate/different but when you think about it the backhaul from the exchange/cabinet to the ISP is likely to be Chorus (like most ISP's). Transit is likely to be Spark Wholesale/Global Gateway... so really how different is it to Spark retail?
in that sense, we're not different from almost all small ISPs - since they pretty much all use Chorus backhaul, GGI etc. there is also the quantity provisioned - we have more to spend on stuff like international, so we provision more than any ISP I'm aware of.
and then there is stuff like Truenet, where we perform quite differently from Spark.
No transparent caching proxy, different transit bandwidth pool/management, less legacy crap good start... but are they: 1: Working on ipv6? 2: Participating in the DIA filter? 3: Peering at APE, WIX etc?
