It is great news and I am surprised to be honest. From New Zealand, our closest AWS region is Sydney with a ping (over Wifi, as I write this from Auckland) of 44ms. Our population is ~5M.

This only spells great things for the tech prospects in NZ which are already very bright. I, for one, am excited to continue to base tech businesses in this country.

RTT to Sydney from Auckland over fibre is about half that at 25ms.
Disturbingly enough my ping is 32ms from Wellington to Sydney, and over 40ms to Christchurch, even though Christchurch is ~10x closer.
Melbourne to Sydney I'm getting 33ms average. Your 25ms is awesome, you guys did a much better broadband network than us
Who is your provider? I have ~5ms, FTTN, AussieBroadband. Is the latency local WiFi?
You make this sound like some kind of achievment.
