Using correct speed thru fibre = ~1.9 x 10 ^ 8 ms-1 (instead of 3 * 10^8ms-1
via vacuum)
so..

NZ->US = 11780km (62ms * 1.9 x 10 ^ 8 ms-1)
NZ->AU = 2280km (12ms * 1.9 x 10 ^ 8 ms-1)

Actual Distance (estimated)
NZ(AK)->US(CA) 10517km
NZ(AK)->AU(SY) 2157km

So yes working out with the right speed of light thru fibre latency is
caused by the speed of light which makes more sence :-)

Thanks
