I forgot about that.

Currently with a Walker Wireless VPN, I get 35-40ms total from a
Petone (probably about 2-5km from the POP) to Onehunga (probably about
6-9km from the POP) site. That includes my own IPSec layer.

In summary it seems that Private Office Networking (as IP.Networking is
now called) seems to work well for people over DSL once its installed.

Faults seem to be fixed with Telecom's usual service level.

Latency over DSL is high, compared at least with WW AB 5.8GHz. Although
it probably beats the other wireless products out there at the moment.

Security is the usual issue it is everywhere. As they say, I hardly
trust myself let alone Telecom to provide a secure network.

NAT or routed situations are possible depending on your setup.
