I think it really depends on how their agreement re. bandwidth costs is 
worded - I mean, i didnt sign up for the service on the basis that 
'traffic to and from sites we have a reciprocal peering arrangement with 
will be charged at 1/10 cost' - i signed up for 'national traffic is 
charged at 1/10 cost' - And I can't see how they can reasonably claim 
there aren't more efficient routes to ftp.citylink.co.nz available to 
them than through los angeles.
