Have a look at this link. It should hopefully clear things up for you.

I'm now having issues connecting to nz.debian.org from Xtra DSL:

sam at arilou:~$ telnet ftp.nz.debian.org 21
Trying 202.7.4.9...
Connected to ftp.citylink.co.nz.

I'm guessing this is related to both the recent changes at Citylink's
end and Telecom's recent decision to stop free peering.

Anyone know if this situation is likely to be permanent?

Sam
