I just installed 2degrees Rural Wireless Broadband at an address in Whangarei and noticed fairly high latency; 30-70ms to Auckland on 2degrees vs 7-9ms on other wireless networks in the area.

It seems all traffic is going via 39.7.69.111.static.snap.net.nz [111.69.7.39] which appears to be located in the South Island?

Is this normal 2degrees backhaul or is there anyway to improve routing?
