[AusNOG] Latency NZ to Sydney

[Pete Mundy]

Hi Bradley

From Auckland you're looking at an additional 15-25ms RTT for traffic to Wellington/ChCh.

I'm at the top of the South Island and ping times to Google and Linode (Sydney) through various carriers all average at about 45ms.

From equipment at a DC in Auckland the figure I get is 23ms.
