Hi All, I have been looking at broadband in the islands - including Fiji - thanks to a grant from http://isif.asia and my friends at http://nsrc.org/. It happens that Telecom Fiji, Vodafone Fiji, and Fintel are all owned by the same company (Amalgamated Telecommunications Holdings, or ATH) but they have separate networks and don't necessarily peer all of their address space locally in Fiji. Separate from the ATH group is Digicel.
From the latency table below you can derive a little of how each of their networks are held together - keeping in mind Southern Cross is the only way from Fiji to the rest of the world... right now.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Network AKL SYD HNL LAX SEA NRT
Digicel 61 38 234 183 212 272
Fintel 159 160 246 169 178 221
Telecom Fiji 62 44 218 162 190 317
Vodafone Fiji 90 42 292 252 277 218
-----------------------------------------------------------
Loss and standard deviation figures point to congestion on Telecom and
Vodafone Fiji and clean pipes for Fintel and Digicel.
These figures are all collected from major data centres (15 in total) to
targets inside each network's core - so this is "as good as it gets". I
don't have more than a cursory knowledge of their access networks inside
Fiji so you're on your own if you're outside of Suva.
Cheers,
Jon

Sure. The answers boiled down to two:
- Fiji Telecom - Talk to Jonathon Brewer
I also had a useful phone call from ACS. (We're already in contact with them via other channels)

Is there someone on the list who has a good understanding of ISPs and internet services in Fiji, or can someone point me at a better source for such info?
