This announcement is more centered towards Network Administrators at ISP's that are connected to the APE.

Net4U (www.net4u.co.nz) connected to the APE since May 2003 and since then have been peering with a number of ISP's around the country.

We are currently looking for more ISP's to peer with and so if you feel that we could have a domestic peering arrangement between your ISP and Net4U, please get back to me off-list as we would be more than happy to do so.

Well, I might have been interested in peering, except for having received the following Spam from Net4U earlier today...

Hello there, I would like to introduce Net4U Limited to you as an alternative bandwidth wholesaler.

We currently have a large network around New Zealand. We currently supply 5 other ISP's in New Zealand with Bandwidth and supply our own customer base with bandwidth for Dialup, ADSL, Wireless, Frame-Relay, ATM, Fiber, Ethernet.

We connect to many providers around New Zealand and are also a peer on the Auckland Peering Exchange (www.ape.net.nz).

Currently I can offer you these prices for International Bandwidth: 64k - 2048k = $2000+GST (per megabit) 2048k - 4096k = $1800+GST (per megabit) 4096k - 10240k = $1600+GST (per megabit) 10240k = POA.

We can deliver using several methods as I've outlined above and can also take care of transporting your existing I.P. Address ranges supplied to you by your current provider to us.

Above all, we can also deliver Domestic / International Traffic via a BGP Feed on 2 Different PVC's.

Please let me know what you think of our offer.

Regards,
