Pretty close - but how about ``The New Zealand Internet Backbone consists of a series of fibre-optic rings strung aroung the trolley bus lines of Wellington city (Also rumoured to be the center of the Universe). There may also be some other providers linking networks to this at certain points.'' ahhh that sits much better I feel.
