Just a thought here
Since most ISP's in NZ seem to be in agreement over this. What if instead of just blowing off steam:
Everyone joins hands and sets up two (or more) peering exchanges. One in Auckland and one in Wellington. Then everyone simply drops all peering with Telstra (and / or Telecom if and where relevant) and interconnect through the two (or more) exchange points.
As the monthly posting to this list says,
Internet Exchanges
See http://www.ape.net.nz/ for details of the Auckland Peering Exchange and those connected there, http://www.wix.net.nz/ for the Wellington Internet Exchange.
