Summary
Mercury NZ
isp residential eyeball fiber fixed-wireless
Mercury NZ Limited (MERCURY-NZ) is a New Zealand energy-and-telecom company
that runs its own consumer ISP network, selling home internet nationwide.
What it's used for
- Residential fibre and fixed-wireless broadband for households across New Zealand, delivered over the national UFB fibre network plus its own wireless.
Notable
- An "eyeball" network: addresses here are home internet connections, not servers.
- One of the few NZ retail ISPs that operates its own AS with 45+ local points of presence rather than reselling on someone else's network.
Interesting
- Mercury is better known as an electricity generator/retailer; it grew its broadband arm substantially after absorbing Trustpower's retail base.
