I'll be talking to GGI about them not peering with you (thus making their domestic transit product useless - ditto TCL, however their domestic product is deliberately crippled from what I can tell); and we are also obviously investigating building into WIX, but there are obvious cost implications there - as I'm sure there are for other Auckland based ISPs.
Tell them at least one of your customers are pissed off. I've had to switch to ftp.au.debian.org in order to keep my maxnet jetstart and colo machine up to date. Increases your costs and my costs. Stupid. Of course good for the large transit providers, especially if they are keen on the supermarket model where both the producer and consumer pay. Eventually I'd move to an ISP with both WIX and APE presences. Maybe the Auckland independent ISPs can band together, do a cost analysis, and create a combined fat pipe/bridge between WIX and APE.
