The question will be "Free" for how much longer? I have heard rumors that Citylink may have some new tricks up their sleeve (free to comment, open for blasting) to try and maintain free peering exchanges but it will ultimately come down to all the "other" isp's ensuring that they continue to peer at the exchanges. (note: MCI/Voyager just completing their own peering hub and peering arrangements are now being "reviewed") TCNZ are reviewing. TCL have already made their intentions clear.

JSG, then? That full-speed business was the only thing that made it interesting. If your connectivity to it is the same as your connectivity to any other normally-peered (Hi TelstraClear!) New Zealand game server, why bother maintaining it as a seperate realm you need to re-login to access? It was worth the bother to re-login when it got you decent speeds, but without them it's just a pain in the ass. You may as well just lift the access lists and put allow access to these machines from the general internet. Or is that what's happening anyway? I remember hearing something recently about JSG going away.
Well it won't count to your usage cap. Your 10Gb Usage cap. Including NATIONAL Traffic National traffic thats delivered over the public peering exchanges. Thats ~free anyway. </rant> _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
