Andy, all good points (as per your norm)
From a large corp side, without our redundancy via TelstraClear today we
would have lost 3 of our major newspapers. So full vendor redundancy
works, it just costs more.

Re: [nznog] Outage update from Telecom
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?
How many regional providers were unable to talk to others in the same
region
because everything (?) is hauled back to Auckland?
Does having Domestic Internet Service from Telecom and TelstraClear
concentrated between these two "Tier 1" providers seem like a good idea?
Does a network of regional Exchanges have any value?
If TelstraClear had been peering at the Exchanges would their connectivity
to
Telecom's Tier 2 customers been disrupted as much?
As Telecom customers you should demand answers about their failure of
course
but you also should be thinking about how you can have things in place to
route round failures as well.
