Light in fibre covers about 100 km per millisecond of round trip. These are the great-circle distances to Auckland and the latency no network can beat — not a measurement, a limit. What you actually measure is this plus routing.

Within 75 km of Auckland — near enough that distance sets no meaningful floor between them. When several sit in one city, the fastest is the city’s real floor; a slower neighbour is usually the endpoint’s own server time.
These figures are geometry. Your own round trip to newzealandnorth depends on your connection and the route it takes — open the instrument, pick Azure, and sweep. Every region is timed from your browser against the endpoint listed above, and the result is split into the part physics demands and the part the network added.
