So I was wondering what is the market share of New Zealand ISPs these days, do Telecom and TelstraClear still completely dominate the market? or have the smaller ISPs caught up?
Earlier this week I grabbed a sample of the weblogs from a large New Zealand website and checked to see which networks the readers came from.
Using the tools at Team Cymru I checked looked up the origin ASN ( roughly ISP ) for that network, this enabled me to work out which percentage of the traffic came from which ISPs.
- I’ve included the data from 2 times below, a daytime one for the “business traffic” and an evening sample for “home traffic”
- Data during both periods is over 20Mb/s and from a general interest New Zealand website (anonymous as condition of releasing the data)
- Only requests that originate from New Zealand are included.
- There may be a bias of traffic towards Auckland
- Note that only the largest sites will own their own networks, AS and run BGP . Thus sometimes very large companies and other organisations will be included as part of their ISP’s total.
- Stats below are sorted by bandwidth used
I was interested to see how much Telecom (including the Netgate brand which is probably Chorus) still dominates. I was actually surprised to see that Telecom dominates the home market much more than the business market whereas I would have expected the other way around.
