Their problem was, say, an Auckland based ISP dumping megabits of content onto their network, for delivery to a customer in Christchurch.
A TCL customer in ChCh, or another ISP customer?
A TCL customer in ChCh, be it an ISP, corporate, dialup, DSL, RFC1149, etc.
So if Telstra [1] didn't want the ISP to send packets to the customer then why did they advertise that customer's network to the ISP? Why not just advertise Auckland customers? Ihug used to/still does that in Wellington. I think everyone here knows the story they have given is just a excuse for public consumption rather than the actual reason they stopped peering. As such there probably isn't much point in us pretending to believe it. Anyway I've heard there has been a big drop in National traffic over the last few days :( .
