We have a link to Miami, but it's not our only one.

SaltyNZ likes looking down the fibre cable and watching the ladies on Miami beach at the other end.

To be fair, they're better looking than JohnR. :-D

I think you'll find that NZ ISPs route _local_ (Wellington) traffic through the US (try the SpeedNet test to Wellington from TCL in Wellington). Routing Australian traffic through Florida isn't that bad.

Since ISPs can't agree on interexchange agreements, they just leave it up to the US backbone to sort out.

Edit: Wait, 300ms mobile ping to Australia, and it's bad?!

Who do 2degrees use for their connectivity? Do they have their own APE/WIX connections + international provider or do they wholesale through another ISP.

And the other one is Orcon? I tested when Orcon had an outage...
