Why Auckland
New Zealand is the end of the line, and Auckland is where the country's cables come ashore. AKL1 exists so that a service aimed at New Zealand users can sit in New Zealand, rather than being fronted from Sydney and paying the Tasman crossing on every request.
How Auckland is connected
Southern Cross has carried the country's international traffic since 2000 and now shares the load with Tasman Global Access and Hawaiki, all landing on the upper North Island. Sydney is roughly 25 milliseconds out, the US west coast around 130, and Europe close to a quarter of a second in either direction. Domestic peering runs over APE and MegaIX Auckland.
