| 1409920 | 2015-10-23 05:08:00 | Actually the _main_ cost if you have a 30/10 or 100/20 UFB connection, goes to Chorus. Roughly 50% goes straight from your ISP to Chorus. This leaves them with very little for: - Tech support - Accounting and billing - General business infrastructure - Technical infrastructure - Buying routers to 'give' or 'lease' to customers - And finally, international bandwidth Speeds will vary depending on your ISP, how fast they're racing to the bottom with their pricing, and subsequently how much they're oversubscribing their international bandwidth. I sort of agree with your 50%. But not all UFB connnections are with Chorus they only have 75% of the NZ roll out (not mine) And How much of that 50% to Chorus goes to the Southern Pacific Cable? |

| 1409921 | 2015-10-23 06:36:00 | None. None of that goes to the Southern Cross Cable. That's PURELY for your UFB connection, so they backhaul the data from your house to your ISPs datacenter. The "International bandwidth" which I listed at the bottom of that list, that's the southern cross cable effectively. This is why there's only ~$10-20 difference between a really %@#$ oversubscribed ISP and one that'll maintain excellent bandwidth throughput at all times. |
