Info - Connection Speeds Outside Auckland
by Zuricka Azavedo 30 Nov '02

30 Nov '02

Hi All I am studying for my masters at AIS St. Helens. My research focuses on E-Commerce proliferation in the Wine Industry. Most companies that I have spoken with are outside Auckland and seem to suggest that the Internet connection speeds available to them are too slow to even effectively browse the Internet let alone host E-Commerce websites. Is it true that there are absolutely no connectivity issues anywhere in New Zealand, or is it Vice Versa ? Is it that higher speed telco circuits outside Auckland and Wellington are available but not affordable to most Small Businesses Can anyone please shed some light on this issue ? Also my research guide suggests that perhaps the vision of NZ being totally online and E-Commerce driven is being fuelled only by technical people who are less than 5% on the population. Is this true ? Thankyou in advance to everyone on this list Cheers Zuricka Azavedo

AS9736/SRS routing (was Re: Who cut off the piece of string?)

FWIW, the primary site for the SRS systems is currently living outside the AS9736 address space (the secondary site is in a /24 inside that space). The primary site is in a long prefix CIDR block of ex-Paradise TelstraClear address space, which is also advertised into WIX (but not APE) as a long-prefix CIDR block, and that should help to ensure availabilty at least within NZ in the face of some outages, but otherwise it's not multihomed. (Although given a number of sites don't accept routes from WIX and/or don't accept prefixes that long, it may not help _that_ much. That said, I believe the current hosts of the SRS primary site are planning a renumbering into a shorter prefix CIDR block in the next month or two, which may help.) Given that the SRS is accessed through "online queries" there's probably going to be somewhat more need for AS9736 to be multi-homed if the primary site is moved into that space as well at some point. (AFAIK there'll be less reliance on the "email template" approach once the SRS opens up to competition in early December.) Ewen PS: The APNIC info for AS9736 looks to be somewhat out of date these days, which is interesting because I had thought at least some of the NZ DNS Politics were going to lead to it being updated.... - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Are there any colo providers in the Whangarei CBD area? We're looking at housing ~16RU of kit. The facility must be secure and have temperature control. Generator backup power is desirable as is a 24/7 "arms and legs" site contact. Any leads would be appreciated. Cheers, ----------------------------------------------------------- K.

Contacts for 3KB, AMP and Netsmart for APE website?
by Simon Lyall 13 Nov '02

13 Nov '02

Just a quick request. Do anyone have a network contact for any of the above 3 companies that appear to have been recently connected to APE? , I'd like to get their details up on the Website. I tried emailing Netsmart and 3KB but no luck and I've not idea on who to contact at AMP. I've forgotten the trick for getting the nznog subscriber list. Private email would be best rather than cluttering up the list. -- Simon J.
