Hello from Australia, This is my first post to this list, just subscribed - looks interesting! Figured this was the most obvious place to start asking questions ... The organisation I work for has just made some aquisitions in NZ. We have taken over (or about to) an existing network running on the Telecom PON service. I was wondering - is there a global register of network providers in NZ? Currently we are sticking with Telecom as its already implemented, but I would like to research further out and see what other options there are. We have a guide for AUS, http://www.whirlpool.net.au/ Though not completely concise its an excellent start. I'm finding already the Telecom PON service - even the upgraded POM - quite restrictive. I cannot SNMP query any routers (we do all our own stats) nor, can I manage these myself (we also managed all our own gear). DSL in NZ seems quite interesting - up to 8Mbit/s according to the Xtra website? I take it this is not gaureenteed and on distance basis as well. I notice that you utilise full GDMT here - not GDMT.Lite as we do. Without moving off the Telstra DSLAMs I am lucky if I can get 1.5Mbit/s downstream and 256k up. Very interested to know more about providers, carriers, etc. over there in NZ - hopefully might be able to head over in the near future too! Cheers, Ev-
