So is this a good time to ask about the design of a network that concentrates so much of its core service in Auckland? Is TelstraClear's network design any better?

I'd like to think so. :) For a start, it takes more than two fibre cuts in the North Island to disrupt us (that's new since you fled Andy :) Currently the core network is distributed and I prefer to follow that mantra whenever possible, though sometimes resources are naturally 'clumpy' (is that a word?) -- Michael Newbery IP Architect TelstraClear Limited Tel: +64-4-920 3102 Mobile: +64-29-920 3102 Fax: +64-4-920 3361
