No I love living in Wellington. We have TelstraClear Cable for 10MB internet and we have Citylink which both prod buttock.
On the weekend Citylink fell over..... Ouch!
TAB & Metservice were completely knocked offline, TradeMe & Stuff had over 25% of customers unable to reach them.
The TAB’s punters couldn’t use the website for the whole day leading up to the game – that’s got to drive those customers away from that business channel.
“The MetService's weather website went down for six hours as a result of the CityLink failure…"CityLink went down and our backup link was overloaded by other similarly affected companies."

In contrast, Intergen customers were completely unaffected* thanks to our multiple physical connections to the interweb (Citylink & a dedicated fibre link directly to AT&T).
*Of course if the customer relied on Citylink for their Internet they'd have issues.
