How are prices high when it costs the same to land data on SCCN NZ-US as it does AU-US and there is 3 cables going into AU?
NZ is a small population with a low wage economy spread across a very mountainous geography that the vast majority of people only use less than 30gb of data....
Fix those issues and we will all have cheaper internet.

More Cables = Good.
This is a pretty good site. Still shows Tasman-2. http://submarinecablemap.com/

Oh, looky, a new cable:

I'm curious about something though, maybe someone on the list can share a bit of history. Is Tasman-2 still active in some capacity?
I had always assumed it was shutdown after southern cross was built, but it's still shown often on cable maps such as the one in that press release:
