I had cause to run some traceroutes today, and it seems that I have now been moved to the Vocus network. I was originally with Snap and then 2Degrees. I have a static IP address and am in Palmerston North. So I was wondering if anyone else with a static IP address from 2Degrees has been moved also. Has it happened to all static addresses, or is it happening by region?

It is happening in blocks I think. I don't think anyone will really comment on the amount of customers moved. On a 2degrees legacy connection I get the same traceroute.

You should be able to see if you've been moved by the BNG you're connected to. For example, myself:

They dropped Cogent upstream on Monday so in terms of reverse resolve names of intermediate hops in a traceroute you will see less cogentco.com and more default-rdns.vocus.co.nz as its a stub network and purely Vocus for upstream now.

Wellington 2degrees fiber. Not sure which I'm on but it works fine.

Tracing route to dns.google [8.8.8.8]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.1.1
2 2 ms 3 ms 3 ms x.x.x.x.static.snap.net.nz [x.x.x.x]

4 5 ms 3 ms 3 ms default-rdns.vocus.co.nz [101.98.5.212]

Ok so it looks like I was wrong and I have not been moved yet. The changes I am seeing are just to the routing one step further away in the network, where it now goes via Vocus routes. I need to confirm where I am connected by looking at the BNG name in the PPPoE packets on connection to be completely sure though. It is a very long time since I last did that, but back then they showed a SNAP name. But the BNG is quite likely to have been updated since then - I think it had AKL in the name, and as I am in Palmerston North, it is likely that there is a more local BNG now.

I have now checked the BNG name. This involves disabling PPPoE offloading, unplugging the router from the ONT, running tshark on the eth0 interface and plugging it in again, so it is a bit of a pain. The current BNG name is SNAP-108, so it does seem to still be on the old 2Degrees network. I also found a note of what the BNG name was when I last set up the PPPoE on my router, after I finally got my fibre install: SNAPDSL-AKL.

If I recall correctly, you're using an Edgerouter? I was trying to figure out how to do it from an Edgerouter last week and simply couldn't figure out an easy way (remotely).
