Hi Joel, I find this interesting. In Australia there are few people selling 'National' transit as such... a few, but not too much. Most of the time transit is just transit - full domestic+international+often peering. Would this be because the cost of NZ international transit? and are many people buying domestic by itself? I find this curious. ...Skeeve *Skeeve Stevens - *eintellego Networks Pty Ltd skeeve(a)eintellegonetworks.co.nz ; www.eintellegonetworks.co.nz Phone: +612 8014 7398; Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/eintellegonetworks ; http://twitter.com/networkceoau linkedin.com/in/skeeve twitter.com/theispguy ; blog: www.theispguy.com The Experts Who The Experts Call Juniper - Cisco - Cloud - Consulting - IPv4 Brokering On Wed, Jul 2, 2014 at 8:49 PM, Joel van Velden wrote:

Hi Skeeve/List

This might be as good a time as any to introduce ourselves.

I work for Next Generation Wholesale, and as far as I know we are the only transit/backhaul wholesaler in NZ who is willing to have a public rate card. We also have good rates for smaller quantities which is unusual.

International CIR Price Per Month SLA 1 - 100 Mbps $22 per Mbps 99.5% 100 - 500 Mbps $21 per Mbps 99.5% 500 - 1000 Mbps $20 per Mbps 99.5%

National CIR Price Per Month SLA 1 - 100 Mbps $13 per Mbps 99.5% 100 - 500 Mbps $12 per Mbps 99.5% 500 - 1000 Mbps $11 per Mbps 99.5%

We can provide nationwide backhaul (needed these days for connecting up UFB zones) starting from $7.50 per Mbps.

Terms are only 12 months, and happy to look into free trails, etc.

Hey all,

There was a discussion recently on Ausnog about Transit, so I was inspired to make a video about some of my thoughts on the subject. I've done this video as my ISP Guy thing, and I thought I would share it as you might find it useful or interesting.

It isn't meant to stir up people, but I am sure it may, especially those selling transit in a certain way. This video is more about educating people about the value of transit in certain kinds of ways. It is about 14 mins long, but I'd like to know what you thought if you have time to watch it.

http://theispguy.com/thoughts-about-transit/ or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wpq_jOMEmdM

The pricing I mention in the video is mostly relevant to Australia and I realise pricing is somewhat different in NZ.

That brings up a question... what is the pricing of transit in NZ and what ways are people selling it?

Are terms 6, 12, 18, 24 months? What is the average price you are seeing? Does pricing drop much at scale? Who are the key providers of quality transit?

Is there a demand for 1:1 in NZ? or is a little contention ok?

Just a few questions so I can understand the NZ market a bit more and in future perhaps include that in my commentary.

I also received a similar email (unsolicited) sent to my email address earlier today. Personally, I prefer to seek out services when I need them. Folk who choose to send me UCE tend to go to the bottom of the list very quickly. I do this because (from my considerable experience) a person who does not respect my privacy, is unlikely to be a candidate for a long term professional relationship. Am I getting too old for all of this, or have we crossed a line here? regards Peter Mott LocalCloud Limited Business Critical Application Hosting +64 9 280 0925 -/-
